Many people have held high positions in their careers, but they are not always generals. Yet some people still have a very high probability of success. Why is that?
The reason is also very simple, because they master the secret to winning in competition and always know how to apply it in real life.
Here are ten tricks that business owners often use.
1. Consider assessing the situation, winning by “changing”
This is a principle most commonly used in military and political struggles, and it is also suitable for modern economic competition, because modern enterprises are large open systems. Enterprises want to exchange information and energy with the whole social environment. It is different from small or closed production systems - which are constrained by political, economic, scientific and technological factors, etc., and are also influenced by internal business resources and internal dependent systems. The so-called "suitability" means that enterprises must maintain the status of "adapters", and must change according to the changing situation of the internal and external environment.
Being rigid and unchanging, being conservative and conservative is a taboo in competition. Considering and assessing the situation and acting in advance is the “magic weapon” for victory. Businesses must have the ability to see far and wide and have initiatives to deal with changes and sudden incidents, avoiding being caught off guard or caught off guard.
2. Unexpected attack, attack the unprepared.
In the business world, the core of “surprise, attack the unprepared” is expressed in the word “strange”. You must take advantage of the opponent’s inertial thinking weakness, seize the opponent’s ideological loopholes, break through the old patterns, old rules and old knowledge of everyone’s thinking, and suddenly win. The “surprise” strategy that modern bosses often use is all focused on the word “strange”. If you want to succeed, you must have a strange business mindset, come up with unusual products, unusual business techniques, and unusual consumption methods and service attitudes.
3. Quick win.
“Time is money” is a common saying among modern people and it is true. This is a summary of modern competitive experience.
The reason why time is compared to money is because time can directly affect the value of money. In modern economic life, with the same amount of money, the value of money also changes as the years pass. On the other hand, time also affects the occupation and the speed of turnover of money. The production capital of an enterprise is also in that orbit of constant movement, this movement can bring about an increase in value. The movement back to the beginning is called the turnover of capital. The shorter the time for money to rotate once, the more times it will rotate in a certain period of time. The smaller the total capital occupied, the more value increases because the equal amount of capital brings more profit, the higher the economic efficiency.
Successful people usually understand the following: the market changes a lot, competition is fierce, these opportunities often fade away quickly and never come back. If you cannot quickly recognize and grasp this opportunity, react slowly and decisively, others will quickly go ahead, and then it will be too late to regret. Modern competitors must take "opportunities" very seriously, must seize every second and minute, if there is an opportunity, must be decisive, decisive and immediately start working.
4. Backward and forward.
The art of war has a rule of using troops: "Strike first, retreat first, advance later", take advantage of the first move, then adapt to the situation, from there achieve great success. But there are also some people who succeed by carefully waiting for the right moment, then taking action later, also making great achievements.
The latecomer in competition can also win over others, in all aspects showing superiority over the earlycomer, they can learn from the failures of the predecessors to gain relatively good economic efficiency. But the latecomer must aim at the right time, act decisively, decisively, absolutely cannot act blindly leading to early failure, nor should hesitating and delaying to miss the opportunity.
5. Focus on advantages and key breakthroughs.
Economic competition is essentially a competition of human resources, material resources and financial resources. However, any individual or group is limited in these resources. In such a situation, how to use capital resources most effectively is one of the key points to winning the competition. Truly successful people cannot spread their career too widely but should only act within the scope they can grasp. This ensures the concentration of advantages, key breakthroughs, and overall promotion.
6. Aim for benefits, avoid harm, promote strengths, avoid weaknesses.
Aiming for benefits and avoiding harm is one of the principles that decision makers must follow when choosing the optimal solution. In economic competition, any business, no matter how strong it is, has its own strengths and weaknesses, and cannot dominate the entire market. If you want to gain the lowest cost competitive advantage in a short time, the only way to choose is to aim for benefits, avoid harm, promote strengths, and avoid weaknesses.
7. The raid won.
Whether you are a veteran or a newcomer to the business world, you cannot be impatient to win right away. Whether in your career or in life, you cannot always have smooth sailing. In the curve there is straight, in the straight there is curve – this is an unchanging truth. Especially in the confrontation and competition of the market, both sides have plans to interfere with each other, delay each other's actions, prolong each other's time, and reduce each other's effectiveness.
Therefore, in competition, we cannot always follow a straight path. On the issue of "straight" and "curved", we must try to look far and wide, predict the future accurately, bravely face difficulties, and soberly recognize achievements. Be a hero in favorable circumstances, not too immersed in the advantageous situation, and be a hero in difficult circumstances, not wavering in the face of danger and pressure.
8. Accumulate small to win.
The reason why the sea becomes a vast ocean is because of the accumulation of small water droplets, the reason why there are high mountains is because of the combination of small pieces of earth. Economic competition is the same. Successful people all start from the smallest things, accumulating little to become much, accumulating small to become big. In the competition of the market, there are times when you have to “see small profits and not do it, see minor illnesses and not refuse”, but you cannot ignore it carelessly. If small competitions belong to a part of the strategy, you have to seize every minute, and fight to win. Many bosses have used the strategy of “avoiding the real and taking the fake, turning the political system into trivialities”, and finally defeated the powerful opponent.
9. Seek victory in retreat.
Successful people all know how to skillfully apply the strategy of advancing and retreating appropriately, and this is also the “magic weapon” of success. In a disadvantageous situation, one can surrender, make peace, or retreat. Of these three, surrender is complete defeat, making peace is half defeat, and retreat can turn defeat into victory.
In economic competition, retreat is also a very valuable concept. Being able to foresee possible failures or bad situations in order to plan and arrange carefully, being able to advance or retreat is an important criterion to evaluate the level of leadership.
10. Take cheap to win.
For the purpose of long-term development, successful people often have to sacrifice some small immediate benefits, even spend some capital to expand their business from now on and also from there to build trust.
The matter of profit and loss in business sometimes cannot be calculated with a small abacus, but must be calculated clearly with a large abacus. Business people of the enterprise must, through meticulous accounting, investigate and carefully plan the target market, "cast a long line to catch a big fish". Therefore, as long as the investor has a special eye and a sensitive business sense, sometimes first keeping a small amount of capital and even trading at a loss is fine, as long as investing in a market with development potential, in the end, they will still achieve great victory.
