Lately, I've been immersing myself in working out, and I've discovered something fascinating at the gym. It's a place where most people focus on health, not on dating or socializing.
Interestingly, I observed a subtle competitive spirit emerge. Whenever someone hops onto the stationary bike next to me, I instinctively pick up my pace. It's not a calculated decision but rather an unconscious desire to hold my own. This push to not be outdone seems natural.
Similarly, if I join a machine next to someone who's already working out, I often witness their pace increase. I attribute this to an inherent competitive drive?"a drive that we can choose to embrace or ignore. Personally, I thrive on it. My background in sales taught me to continuously challenge myself to outperform others.
We observe competition everywhere, especially where resources are scarce, much like in the animal kingdom with fights for food or mates. Humans often compete economically. The idea of "survival of the fittest" is deeply ingrained, whether it’s about money, companionship, or even parking spots. When not competing ourselves, we watch others do it through sports, reality TV, and contests. There's an intrinsic appeal in witnessing a showdown for glory or defeat.
Reflecting on my gym experiences, I realized that competition can be a catalyst for self-improvement. By pushing myself harder to impress the person on the next machine, I'm only benefiting myself. Here, competition is healthy. Of course, this concept doesn't apply universally?"a drinking contest, for example, is a different matter.
So how can we harness this instinct for competitive persuasion in business? It’s evident all around us?"such as two gas stations with differing prices, each striving to attract more customers. I’m not suggesting slashing prices; rather, by smart positioning, we can present our products and services as the ideal choice. For instance, you might say, “I may not be the cheapest realtor, but I offer exceptional value for your investment.”
How do you relate to competition? Do you embrace it or avoid it? How can you leverage it for persuasion? Consider how your competitive edge could help you excel in various aspects of life.
