00:00:00.200 What if I told you 90% of people completely misunderstand the concept of competition?
00:00:05.320 And here's what I mean by it.
00:00:06.520 I either know people that are super competitive, or I either know people that are scared of competition,
00:00:11.400 and I'm going to reveal to you why.
00:00:12.960 By the way, if this video, this message gives you value, give it a thumbs up and subscribe at the end.
00:00:17.960 Let me get right into it.
00:00:19.060 So competition.
00:00:20.080 If people understood that competition is your best friend to help your dream,
00:00:25.360 if your dream becomes a reality without competition in 22 years, with competition,
00:00:30.240 it became a reality in 11 years, is it worth you embracing the concept of competition?
00:00:35.100 Let's talk about it.
00:00:36.100 Okay, so why do most people fear competition?
00:00:39.040 They had a loss in the past.
00:00:40.420 They had a humiliating loss.
00:00:41.740 It was a public loss.
00:00:43.040 People laughed at you.
00:00:44.080 It was embarrassing.
00:00:45.060 You didn't like it.
00:00:45.900 The pressure was unnecessary.
00:00:47.840 You had sleepless nights thinking about a competition, thinking about a debate,
00:00:51.500 thinking about whatever it is, and it created all this angst,
00:00:53.760 and you're like, oh my gosh, I cannot stand it, right?
00:00:56.600 Okay.
00:00:57.460 To me, I've seen competition in three different levels,
00:01:00.580 and embrace one of these three.
00:01:02.620 Decide to make one of these three your best friend.
00:01:05.640 So lowest level of competition that is still healthy for you
00:01:09.240 is focusing on beating your prior best.
00:01:11.760 Look, I don't care what you're doing.
00:01:13.680 If the most calls you made in a day is 82, beat 83.
00:01:17.240 I don't give the other guy the 228.
00:01:19.280 If yours is 82, beat 82.
00:01:20.880 Go to 83.
00:01:21.400 If the most money you ever made in a month is $10,000,
00:01:24.400 who cares if Elon Musk is worth 280?
00:01:27.020 You go make $11,000.
00:01:28.620 If the most sales you made in a month is seven,
00:01:30.900 the other guy, the number one guy in the office at 42, you make eight.
00:01:34.400 Beat your prior best.
00:01:36.660 It's the most basic fundamental concept of competition
00:01:39.560 is you're competing with your prior best.
00:01:41.560 Number two, those who compete because they want respect in an office,
00:01:45.520 meaning they come in, it's like, look, let me tell you, oh my God,
00:01:48.260 Johnny is here.
00:01:48.920 Johnny is here.
00:01:49.540 Johnny is here.
00:01:50.020 John, that guy's a competitor.
00:01:51.340 I respect him as a competitor.
00:01:52.700 There's a certain level of respect to get as a competitor, right?
00:01:55.900 So second level of competition is you want your peers in the marketplace to respect you,
00:02:02.120 that respect that they're giving you that you're a legit competitor.
00:02:05.260 The highest level of competition is not for everybody.
00:02:08.080 This is the part that most people fear.
00:02:09.920 The highest level of competition is when people fear you, okay?
00:02:13.180 Now, when I say fear you, there are many scenes in sports that when a guy steps on the floor,
00:02:21.300 you see the other side of players, they just kind of turn their heads like this.
00:02:25.160 There's a scene when LeBron James is playing, I believe, against the San Antonio Spurs,
00:02:30.180 and he sees this young kid who was a kid at the time, Kawhi Leonard, step back in the floor.
00:02:35.480 You should see this scene if you've ever seen it.
00:02:38.180 LeBron's like, oh my gosh, this guy's back in.
00:02:39.740 Why?
00:02:40.000 Because Kawhi knew how to guard him.
00:02:43.160 There are scenes with Brady when they're ahead against the Falcons,
00:02:47.700 and they're celebrating the Falcons on the other side,
00:02:50.160 and one of the teammates on the Falcons says, dude, don't celebrate.
00:02:52.940 There's a guy on the other side named Brady.
00:02:55.220 Relax.
00:02:56.060 Fear.
00:02:56.580 That fear you impose.
00:02:57.700 Michael had it.
00:02:58.380 Kobe had it.
00:02:59.380 Some politicians have it when they get on the debate stage.
00:03:02.120 That's a different level of respect.
00:03:03.660 That is not for everybody.
00:03:04.780 Now, if you're listening to this and you're saying, man, I want that kind of respect.
00:03:07.880 I want to be feared as a dominator.
00:03:09.500 No problem.
00:03:10.200 But just so you know, if you thought this is demanding to beat your prior best,
00:03:13.880 if this is demanding to be respected as a competitor,
00:03:17.580 I can't even go like this because it's like a skyscraper with 100 floors
00:03:21.320 where I got to take my hand for you to be feared as a dominator. 0.99
00:03:24.840 It's 1% of 1% of 1%.
00:03:27.520 It ain't everybody.
00:03:28.640 So it's very, very demanding to get to that level.
00:03:31.120 But all I'm saying to you is the lowest level is beat your prior best.
00:03:34.600 By the way, another thing that people get wrong with competition is the following thing.
00:03:38.120 Three levels of ways people compete.
00:03:40.280 Most people only compete down.
00:03:42.360 I'm making better money than my sister.
00:03:44.180 I'm making better money than my brother.
00:03:45.940 I'm making better money than my dad.
00:03:47.680 I'm making better money than this.
00:03:49.160 It's always competing down and comparing themselves to people below them.
00:03:52.160 That's the weakest level of competing.
00:03:54.960 It is so weak. 0.67
00:03:56.100 It's cowardly. 0.99
00:03:56.860 You're better than that.
00:03:57.540 Now, if you're doing that, change it.
00:03:59.440 At least move up to the next level of competition.
00:04:02.180 You shouldn't be celebrating beating people below you.
00:04:05.320 Second level of competition is competing with people at the same level as you.
00:04:08.320 That's fair.
00:04:09.160 Same level, it's good.
00:04:10.140 You're playing with someone that's same level skill set as you.
00:04:13.340 YMCA, YMCA, all that's the same level, right?
00:04:16.060 But the highest level of competition that puts so much pressure on you to improve
00:04:19.500 is when you're playing with people that are better than you.
00:04:22.520 Now, I'm not saying my eight-year-old kid goes and plays with Michael, but I am saying my
00:04:26.940 eight-year-old kid plays with 11-year-olds.
00:04:28.960 I am saying my eight-year-old kid goes and plays soccer with 12-year-olds that are way
00:04:32.980 better than him, skill set-wise.
00:04:34.820 He's going to sit there and say, but if this eight-year-old kid plays with a 22-year-old,
00:04:37.880 it's not even a game.
00:04:38.680 It's unfair because the kid's running much faster than him.
00:04:41.560 But you have to be choosing at every level.
00:04:44.380 Test yourself to compete against somebody that's a little bit ahead of you.
00:04:47.740 Maybe you can have a vision of saying, one day I want to be Johnny.
00:04:50.300 He's so ahead of you, that's a vision, but immediate, go up against people ahead of you.
00:04:54.540 So let's recap again, okay?
00:04:56.080 Let's recap again.
00:04:56.960 Three things.
00:04:58.060 The lowest level of competition that everybody watching is even a person that fears the word
00:05:02.160 competition.
00:05:02.960 The C word scares you more than the F word.
00:05:05.600 It offends you more than the F word.
00:05:07.440 Lowest level, just focus on beating your prior best.
00:05:10.180 Number two, get respect from your competitors.
00:05:13.000 Number three, only for a few.
00:05:14.420 Most of you are not going to commit to this, and I totally respect you for not doing it because
00:05:17.500 it's very hard, is being feared as a dominator, then competition.
00:05:21.020 Don't compete below.
00:05:22.380 Compete at the same level.
00:05:23.660 But if you really want to kind of put yourself against seeing what you're made up of, start
00:05:27.100 competing with people above you.
