Steal Clients From Your Competitors?

Today I like to talk about on  ’steal clients from your competitors’. In today’s time competition is a great word. Everybody try’s to get what the other has. Instead of to focus on to build his own vision, something new and innovative, and to make the way free for others to follow.

Some examples for companies who build something new and made the way for other to follow are: eBay, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google and thousands more worldwide.

With their innovation they made the way for thousands of businesses to follow them, thousands new jobs, thousands realized dreams and hopes! They did not waste their time on competition. They made their own thing.

Instead of building something valuable and new, and to make the way free for others who follow, we are still caught in the competition game!

“Instead of worrying about what people say of you, why not spend time trying to accomplish something they will admire.”
Dale Carnegie

We are so busy to make our competitor look like much worst than we are, instead of to improve our self’s and to make us look much better than him. And this is a waste of time and resources!

“Dale Carnegie didn’t say anything bad about somebody but all the best he know about them.”

By the end of the day the client himself decides if he wants to choose you or any of your competitors.

I think that it is not fair, unethical and against the law to steal. Why do we differ fairness, ethic and law when it comes to business? Is to ‘steal’ clients from a competitor ok by making him look like much worst than you are?

When I was kid I have read these sentences, may be you have read them as well …

  • You shall not steal
  • You shall not bear false witness against your neighbour
  • You shall not covet anything that belongs to your neighbour

Sounds like the rules of civilization, fairness and ethics. What do you think?

“You are to become a creator, not a competitor; you are going to get what you want, but in such a way that when you get it every other man will have more than he has now. “
Wallace D. Wattles

There is enough for all and everybody out there. There is no reason to ‘steal’ anything from anybody!

Become a creator like eBay, Twitter, Facebook, MySpace, Google and thousand others who made the way free for other to follow.

Build your own vision; build something new valuable and innovative. Make the way free for others to follow you, and your definition of success will follow you also!
