There are those of us in this world that is competitive by nature. We are even competitive about being competitive. We are always thinking in terms of ‘winning’ or ‘losing’.
There really isn’t one thing wrong with wanting to win a competition. The trick is telling the difference between a competitive event and an event where the prize is gained by cooperation rather than through competition.
You see, when you are engaging in a competition, there is always a goal or a finish line. If you are playing a game of chess, for example, the object is to ‘check-mate’, if you are playing football the object is to get more points than the over team in a limited amount of time. Internet marketing, however, does not come with a finish line. There is no time limit and the game is never over.
The objective of internet marketing is to move internet marketing forward. Cooperation is more effective than competition.
Everybody puts their shoulder to the wheel, so to speak, and pushes in unison in order to achieve the collective goal which is to move internet marketing forward. The joint effort is better for everybody concerned because everybody benefits.
For those of us who are born competitors we have to compete to see who can be the most cooperative. We have to supply more leads. We have to put together more joint ventures.
We have to reach out to help more quickly than others. That is the only way competition can help with the cooperation that is necessary for successful internet marketing.
There is plenty of business out there for all of us. The supply of business isn’t limited. We can all benefit when any of us benefit. That is what the whole idea of cooperation is.
