You CAN have an Abundant Mindset to be the Best (How To Create No Competition)
By: David Hong
Tags: Abundance, Marketing, Psychology, Mindset, Competition

People look for the best. People don’t have a lot of time and don’t want to take a lot of risks.

If your mother got diagnosed with cancer, you’re probably not going to want to mess around by going to a lot of doctors. You’re going to try to seek the best in the world.

If you only get one chance, why waste it?

Same with visiting a new country. I don’t know about you, but if I visit a new place, I don’t want to go to a typical restaurant, I want to go to the best.

Or how about hiring someone to be in your company? Do you want average? Or do you want the “best”?

The rewards are heavily skewed for being number one. This is called Zipf’s law, and it basically states that the contrast between being number 1 and number 2 is large.

So as you can see, being number one matters.

But the cool thing is, there’s plenty of room to be the best.

You don’t need to go through competition if you’re smart about it.

You can create your own lane, because “best” is subjective.

Best depends on what a person can get, right now, based on what they believe and what they know.

We all live in our own little worlds.

If I’m looking for a video editor, the best video editor for me is someone who speaks English, who fits my schedule with a price I can afford.

It would be different depending on the person and the specifics of what the person wants.

And since the world is becoming more specialized, there are more “best” being formed.

There’s no longer a mass market, but micro markets, with each micro market having it’s own “best”.

Another term that’s being thrown around is “niche” market.

If I want the best organic curated fruits based only in Lima, Peru, shipped weekly, there’s now a market and a “best” for that.

So while it’s more important than ever to be the best in the world, I think it’s also getting easier, as long as we pick the right lane or create our own.

So how I like to reflect on this, is what are my strengths and what am I curious about? How can I merge these elements together and create something fresh?

And since we’re all unique human beings, there’s a lot of room to be the “best”.

We can all win. No need to compete with each other. Let’s compete against ourselves.

A message to OneUp
Tags: Influencers, Competition, Tiktok App, Social Media

This is a message from OneUp team to all OneUppers!

The message below is from a OneUpper that was sent to OneUp team and asked us to share it with OneUp users.

I heard about OneUp about a week ago and I was a little suspicious until I got on the app and found it to be very fun. I thought to share the reasons why I love OneUp app and I recommend it to all of my followers.

It is easy to upload your videos from TikTok and IG on OneUp and get matched up with someone, whom you have never met, to compete.

I like the fact that OneUp team is based in Berkeley CA, so they are not a potential shut down the way that TikTok could be. From what I read, TikTok could be either shut down or sold to Microsoft. Imagine, Microsoft running TikTok!! have you seen how lame and broken Linkedin is? Microsoft owns Linkedin.

It is fun to compete and meet new people that way and I really like OneUp’s sponsorship plans. I make decent money so far from my OneUP account that I have not made with my 2 million followers on TikTok.

I am not planning to abandon my TikTok or IG but I will keep posting my videos to OneUp as well and bring in my TikTok followers so in case anything happens to TikTok, I have brought most of my followers to my OneUp and moreover it does not hurt to monetize my talent something that IG and TikTok have not yet offered me. Please share this message with all TikTokers on OneUp and keep up the good work. Btw, if it has not been clear to you yet, I love OneUp so far!

Now I can call myself a OneUpper as well~Laura

As OneUp is growing and attracts more talented TikTokers and Instagramers to join and compete in the fun and friendly environment of OneUp, we are moving to add more features to help them enjoy their experience!

Make sure you already have OneUp 1.1.8 which is the version that allows you to use your phone library to upload videos from your TikTok or instagram and it also allows you to see the list of your followers by going to your profile and pressing “Followers”. Also make sure to close the app from the background and open again to receive air-updates which we release frequently.

What is cooking for OneUp?

We are releasing couple features next weekend. 1 ) You should be able to see the list of the people who voted for your competitions 2 ) You should be able to check the profile of the people who follow you and vote for you. 3) The content will be presented in a new way in case you want to see variety of competitions 4) Being able to add your IG/TIkTok/FB accounts to your OneUp profile.

OneUp has got your back!

OneUp sponsorship

Don’t forget each competition on OneUp is sponsored with a Gift Button. Your fans can voluntarily choose to watch a 15 seconds ad as many times as they want and 70% of the revenue generated from the ads goes to you. We cannot disclose exactly how much each OneUpper is generating but some OneUppers bring their fans from their TikTok to give them votes and OneUp gifts and they earn 10,000 to 200,000 gifts per video, approximately $50 — $1,000 per competition. You can check the number of your sponsorships in your profile- top-right corner, press the gift button.

“OneUp’s sponsorship is the best model ever created to sponsor a content creator. It is not like Patreon that someone should send you cash or like Youtube that bugs everyone with multiple ads. It is unique, your fans choose to donate 15 seconds of their time to gift you voluntarily” ~ James baillee (TikToker with 5M followers)

CURRENT AND FUTURE CRM TRENDS. Because having the best products and…

These days, having the best products and services simply isn’t enough to ensure business profitability. Building relationships with customers to foster loyalty and retention, for instance, can significantly influence your bottom line. Customer relationship management remains a huge part of the game, and staying ahead of CRM trends can help give your business an edge over the competition. So first, lets talk about current trends.

CRM Goes Mainstream

The CRM industry is truly evolving beyond its reach and 2018 showed how the mainstream industry has caught on with it. More and more companies these days look for a Customer Relationship Management platform early on in their existence.

The multitude of benefits in terms of customer acquisition, retention, and management are hallmarks that make CRM a must-have software. SugarCRM and Salesforce still hold the top spots when it comes to the best but expect more CRM vendors to sprout in 2019, offering basic or mid-scale services at cheaper rates to target the SMEs.

However, a word of caution; the rise of GDPR and privacy regulations regarding big data is serious stuff, so opt for a CRM vendor that guarantees data privacy.

Artificial Intelligence and Marketing Automation

2018 paved the way, 2019 will cement their footing! Artificial Intelligence is truly here and the amazing benefits it presents for companies worldwide means it’s not going away any time soon.

Artificial Intelligence with CRM makes for an interesting combination that brings order and proactiveness to customer support and management. Expect companies to leverage AI in areas beyond customer support in 2019 to achieve a competitive edge. Voice-to-text functionalities, spam filters, sales forecasting, smart searches, and sentimental analysis are all areas that can do a lot more with Artificial Intelligence.

Mobile CRM

Mobile CRM provides its users the core CRM functionalities on the go and brings a whole new range of possibilities for your CRM users. 2018 saw Mobile CRM breakthrough for Sales departments. With CRM functionalities on their phone, Sales teams improved their productivity by closing deals and managing clients on the go.

By being constantly connected to the CRM, your salespeople are always a touch away from your clients. Certain CRM integrations can add to the diverse functionality of Mobile CRM and improved data quality. Mobile CRM ensured new data into the database in real time and increased CRM adoption rates with its multi-device adaptability.
What is your life defining moment?

Saurabh Nanda adressing grade 10 students at one of his alma maters in Army Public School, Ambala, 2012

I was in class/grade 10. I was studying in one of the few CBSE schools in Goa. It was a school till grade 10, a small school. So naturally, grade 10 board exams were considered nothing short of clearing an International Science Olympiad or something. All the teachers and parents would be extremely tense and would project that tension onto the students.

I could never really fathom what the entire hue and cry was all about.

After one of the initial pre-board examinations, my scores were not the best in the class. I was annoyed because I had studied well, followed all the tips that experienced teachers and authors were telling students like me. I realised after a discussion with one of my teachers, that the reason I didn’t score well enough was personal bias! The teacher didn’t like my answer because it was different than what she had expected. I was confused, irritated and disappointed.

That day, after sulking around for about 30 minutes, I told myself,

“Why am I worried when my competition is not in this school but elsewhere. The entire country, where in hundreds of thousands of students were going to sit for this exam, was my competition. I just needed to do my best.”

I scored 95% aggregate in class 10. I was also awarded the national CBSE merit certificate in Hindi for scoring 98/100.

I didn’t realise it then, but later I understood what I had told myself that day. I had never seen the hundreds of thousands of other kids who were my competition. I didn’t know what they were thinking, I hadn’t seen them study or how they studied.

I was competing against myself! The external competition did not matter.

That is the day, my life changed, I just had to overcome myself before any competition. I had to be myself and give the best that I had. This belief system has helped me develop very high internal standards. Most of the times, when I finish a given assignment, I am satisfied because I believe and I know that my work is of good quality. The times I lose out on my work is when I know I didn’t give it my best or what was needed to be given.

This hard work and dedication has been appreciated by all the different people I have worked with and I am still working with!
The Car Explosion Case Against Ford Due to Its Dirty Tricks for a Bigger Market Share
By: Misbah Ul Haq Syed
Tags: Lawsuit, Business, Competition, Ford, Marketing Strategies

The Launch of Ford Pinto Cars

To counter the rising subcompact competition in the US market, Ford Motor Company had to address the issue on a war footing basis.

Market situation

Volkswagen and Japanese car manufacturers were gaining the business.

To stay in the market, it was thus needed to produce an alternative to the V W Beetle, or the whole thing would have been lost earlier than anticipated.

The concept was simple. Make a medium-sized, low-priced car and have a slice of the pie or be thrown out for that particular niche.

In order to take advantage of the auto subcompact market, Ford was developing a similar car that was addressing all those issues. But if it took too long, Ford would miss the bus. Yet if it did things hastily, safety concerns and cost issues might have been in jeopardy. It was complicated.

Lee Iacocca, the Executive Vice President who later became the President of the auto giant, was in the pilot’s seat to make things happen for Ford. After his roaring success with the Mustang, the company’s management gave him the daunting task to launch the Ford Pinto model.

Design and cost issues

The car design had to be compact and the cost/price had to be minimal.

The standard time span required to launch a new vehicle was about forty-three months. But time was of the essence. Therefore, the new Ford Pinto car had to hit the market in around two years' time from its inception.

But there were critical design issues that were linked with the mechanism and protection of fuel tanks that could ultimately make or break the overall vehicle safety.

The required design changes would add the safety layers to the fuel tank issue and would not cost too much either. But Iacocca, the brain behind the Ford Pinto was determined not to let Pinto weigh over 2000 pounds and not to cost over $2000. That was Iacocca’ strategy to win the respective market share.

Risks involved

Ford knew about the fuel tank issue with health and finance risks associated.

Lee Iacocca spent millions lobbying Ford’s safety standards. Regardless of this futile attempt, Ford paid millions to settle out-of-court damages, as there were between 500 and 900 burn deaths because of Pinto car accidents.

By 1977, Ford Motor Company launched new Pinto models after incorporating a few minor design changes to comply with federal standards that Ford had held off for six years.
Mizar journey to the Big Dipper
Tags: Competition, Mizar, Cryptocurrency, Trading

Hello Mizarnauts 👋

We are more than excited to communicate that the Mizar’s spaceship is ready to take off 🚀

The departure to the Big Dipper constellation ✨ is scheduled soon. Get ready! 🤩

To let everyone enjoy the journey, Mizar is planning a lot of activities, including a competition. There will be over $100,000 MZR up for grabs, with rewards split between two types of Mizarnauts: astronauts 🧑‍🚀 and space tourists 🤠

Interesting, tell me more…?

The competition is simple. There is one rule: whoever gets the highest return at the end of the competition wins 🏆

Astronauts can create a single fund 🏦. Their objective is to maximize returns on the fund during the competition through a combination of clever asset selection and well-timed swaps 💰

Space tourists will start with $100,000 💵 to simulate investing in astronauts’ funds during the competition. Space travelers can exit and enter at any time 🚶‍♂️

Everyone can be an astronaut and/or a space tourist. The best astronauts and space tourists will be ranked on the Mizar leaderboard. At the end of the competition, prices will be distributed 🥇🥈🥉

How do I participate?

For now, simply register your interest and follow us on Telegram and Twitter. We will provide you more information in the upcoming days.

Will the travel be safe?

The travel will be super safe. Mizar’s spaceship 🚀 has been designed and developed by expert engineers with long experience in the field. Mizar will provide a built-in swap service, with prices based on Binance. Since there might be turbulence during the trip, the competition will not use real but simulated tokens. There will be absolutely no risk of a crash! 💥

What’s next?

Mizar is preparing to launch its native token: MZR. The token will be used as a way to pay, get rewarded, reduce fees, and unlock features on the Mizar platform. Winners will be rewarded with MZR after launch. 🤑

We’ll be releasing more details on the competition every few days as we move towards the departure. Follow us on Twitter or Telegram to keep up to date 📱

The Mizar’s crew wish you a pleasant journey 🚀

Netflix’s Q4 Earnings and What to Expect.
By: Business Stance
Tags: Netflix, Growth, Competition, Earnings, Disney

Netflix will be releasing its Q4 earnings report tomorrow, 19th of January, after the close of market.

“Revenue Expectation: $6.6 billion, Earnings Per Shares Expectation: $1.35”- investing.com

When it releases its earnings tomorrow, investors will be looking for solid evidence that the company hasn’t hit a roadblock in the explosive growth experienced last year during the lockdown period (It attracted more subscribers as people who were locked down indulged in binge-watching). They will also want confirmation that Netflix remains buoyant enough to defend its position as a market leader in the streaming service.

Despite Netflix’s strong position in the market, it’s unlikely that the explosive growth, experienced last year, will continue forever. In Q3, Netflix merely added just 2.2 million new subscribers, a shortfall from the 3.32 million predicted by research analysts and Netflix (N.B: It predicted that it will sign up 6 million new subscribers in Q4).

The incredible demand for streaming content attracted an influx of other large players, making the field a bit more crowded and also creating uncertainty about the future growth of Netflix. Its main competitor is Disney (NYSE:DIS). Through its Disney+ app streaming service, Disney is gaining considerable ground in this field (it added more than 80 million subscribers within the first year of its launch). Other competitors include: Comcast’s (NASDAQ:CMCSA) NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service, and AT&T’s HBO Max streaming platform.

Aside from the competitors, what also threatens Netflix’s growth is its tight cash position. Because Netflix spends a lot on the development of its exclusive shows and the acquisition of international markets, it ends up burning a lot of cash every quarter. To improve its cash position, Netflix raised prices for its most popular plan last quarter, which is counterproductive in an environment where people are losing jobs and competition is heating up and could negatively affect its growth.

Netflix’s remote appeal produced awesome gains for investors in 2020, but as its competitors increase, some investors aren’t too sure whether this explosive growth rate will continue.

That said, Netflix is still far ahead in its international reach and content depth (areas not covered by Netflix’s competitors). Due to this strength, in our view, any dip in the price of Netflix’s shares after its earnings report should be taken as a buying opportunity.

CVI Beta Platform Competition — The Results!
Tags: Competition, Blockchain, Cryptocurrency, Trading

On December 30th we launched the beta version of the CVI trading platform. In order to encourage users to test the platform before it goes live on MainNet and to educate our community on Volatility Trading, we performed an incentivized trading competition on the CVI platform.

The competition started on December 30th, 2020, at 4 pm UTC and ended on January 17th, 2021, at 8 am UTC. At this time exactly, we ran the snapshot of all participants’ P&L (profits and losses).

This competition was a great success and allowed 1700 users to familiarize themselves with the platform. These users participated and competed to get a share of the reward pool of 150K $GOVI. Not only were they awarded for their participation, but it also allowed us to have valuable insights and form new, interesting ideas. Some of them will be implemented in the MainNet version, and for that, we’d like to thank all the participants who took part in this beta testing.

Here are some key insights into what happened on the platform during the entire duration of the competition:

Participation

More than 1700 users participated in the competition and tested the system.

15,160,621$ test USDT were locked into the platform of which: 6,915,572$ were deposited in liquidity and 8,245,048$ were the current trading positions.

During the competition time, the CVI rose to an all-time high of 156.5.

Stats

Buyers of CVI (LONG CVI):

1296 users of the platform have chosen to buy positions, expecting more market volatility.

The buyers’ positions size was: 8.24M USDT

As it turns out, those users were correct in their predictions, some making a profit of over 78% during the 17 days of the competition.

The collateral ratio, which is the ratio between the amount of all the buyers’ positions and the total liquidity available, was at 72.6% on January 17th. This is just below the threshold, so the buying premium fee was zero.

Esports should be considered a sport
Tags: Dota, Videogames, Call Of Duty, Esport, Competition

Esports (electronic sports) is a competition where instead of using a ball or doing anything physical, people play video games competitively as a career to win money.

Now Esports is the most watched and streamed event on Twitch and YouTube combined, and is being considered a sport as big time owners of regular franchise teams are buying teams for competitive gaming.

Many people do not realize but the same amount of characteristic that are required by a sports athlete is the same as a professional gamer.

Professional gamers practice for up to 7–9 hours a day, probably even more to get better then there opponent. Like a sports team, there are professional gaming teams.

Most of the big teams pay big to have the best players, which means those who are striving to reach the level of being a professional gamer is not easy as some think it is.

In 2008 is when computer and console games were hosting tournaments for players who wanted to compete.

Since then the final prize money was only up too $200 starting out since there were no big sponsors wanting to invest.

Now in 2021 In Dota 2, a player can win up to $40 million in a tournament.

For the Call Of Duty franchise a player can win up $4 million where as back then it was only a $1,000.

There is no question as to now video games are very popular, but the skill gap that comes with it as anyone who has talent has a chance to make it competitively.

Esport teams are popular then ever as they have started to get entertainers, rappers, and actors to get involved in there teams.

Post Malone who is the most recognized artist joined the COD team Dallas Empire, making him partners with the teams.

It could only be a matter of time as we start seeing videogames on live tv.

Burger King Does the Unthinkable, Acknowledges McDonald’s Exists

“brb, going to McDonald’s,” Burger King tweeted back in December.

Which had us like, “k, cya lat — wait WHAT?”

Like many other followers, our gut reaction was that BK must have been hacked. But shortly after the tweet, the company told us they had indeed sent the message, which was to serve as the kickoff for their latest campaign.

The full statement reads: Introducing the #WhopperDetour. Order a ‘Whopper’ for a penny only “at” McDonald’s with the BK app. Yes, you read that right. Drive near a McDonald’s and use the BK app. No need to go to their drive-thru. Get yours before December 12th.

Notorious for trolling their biggest competition, the campaign is designed to encourage customers to show up at McDonald’s to order a whopper, only to be directed over to Burger King.

Here’s what we like about it:

It’s genius and grabbed our attention.

It’s kind of funny (if you don’t work at McDonald’s — and if you do, we agree the stunt is totally outrageous and not at all funny).

It drove a tremendous spike in downloads for BK’s app (reportedly 1 million new downloads, crowning it the king of the app store).

It does what many companies consider unthinkable — acknowledges competitors exist.

That last point is our favorite. Many companies spend a lot of energy pretending their competitors don’t exist, particularly on social media. We get it — they don’t want to fuel their competitor’s brand equity by acknowledging and sharing their competitors’ thought leadership, but we also see this avoidance as a missed opportunity.

If a competitor produces an exceptional piece of content and it is getting a lot of attention, why not chime in? Getting involved in the conversation could result in more engagement with your brand and endear you to consumers who are impressed by your humility and collaborative spirit.

What should you do if a competitor mentions you? Our best advice is to be a good sport about it. Give thanks when there’s praise, or react with humor if it’s a little bit of a dig.

In this case, we think this is a great opportunity for McDonald’s to show it has a good sense of humor. Unfortunately, we’re still waiting for their response.
Living is so Easy, Competition is not Real and has no End

Survival of the fittest. This is the prominent idea in the general perception of evolution. Unfortunately, this glib phrase eclipses the right depiction of evolution- the symbiosis of all life.

All life is bound together through mutual support and interdependence. Life is characterized by togetherness. There is coexistence in the universe swarming with interdependent elements.

“The soil is happy to share its nutrients with the plant kingdom”.

“The plant kingdom is happy to share its products with the animal kingdom”.

“The animal kingdom is happy to self regulate by having carnivorous animals remove the weak, the old, and the diseased”.

Only human beings need to realize this reality of coexistence.

The misuse of imagination has made human existence a battle, a race for outdoing each other in fulfilling material needs and desires. This competition is a threat to the human race and its survival on the earth. It’s a race to the bottom for everyone participating.

Competition results in people pitting against each other and life becomes a battle. Being able to value oneself correctly is of course an important trait. But, the valuation should be done in alignment with the natural inborn instincts and not the comparative showoff stuff in contemporary cultures. Valuation based on how fair, just, truthful, empathetic, and compassionate one is will transform the course of human existence. A human being can invest his whole life competing with his own brethren and will not find contentment or bliss, instead will lead a shallow, chaotic life.

Instead of trying to compete with one another and depriving each other of food, shelter, and protection, human beings must think of a harmonious survival as a species. The need of the hour is to create a space where individuals are brought up with human values and introduced to the reality of coexistence. Human beings need to evolve into the next species with human values and humane Nature.

Art of War by Sun Tzu is one of the world’s most revered books on strategy.

The Art of War, Sun Tzu — Summary

Art of War by Sun Tzu is one of the world’s most revered books on strategy. Below is a summary of the most critical takeaways from this book.

Know which battles to fight.

There should be an objective for a war and evaluate if the battle that you choose, helps you inch towards it. You don’t have to fight every battle. Pick and choose them wisely.

Each and every attribute of your competitors needs to be evaluated meticulously and well in advance to understand their strengths and weaknesses in comparison to yours. If the enemy is really strong compared to you, then you should choose not to fight.

Only enter battles you know you can win. You should have your victory even before your first move. Secure yourself and wait for the opportunity for victory.

2. Know how to deceive the enemy.

Feign weakness and disorder while you have strength and discipline of the highest order. Maintain secrecy and element of surprise while you make a move. Deception should be of the highest standard.

Have a clear plan laid out for every move and counter moves of your competitors and only then you can make your enemy do what you want them to do. There is a need to have a high degree of situational awareness by understanding the whole environment of the competition. The list of all forces acting on the competition and their impact, should be predicted in advance.

Have your own unique plan that the enemy just can’t anticipate. Take them by surprise and hit them at the most appropriate time when they expect the least, and at a place that inflicts the most damage.

3. Know your team.

Establish a deep connect with your team and treat them genuinely. They will stand by you, till their death. There should be a clear ‘unity of command’ and there should be no conflicting orders. Rewards and punishments should be judiciously administered and in time.

Have a clear mode of communication and communicate your intentions clearly and well within time. Instil in them a sense of discipline, urgency and belongingness in whatever they are expected to do.

Ensure that your team is provided in time, with the best of the trainings and the tools that complement their skills. This will guarantee that they are better than the competitors, so that they can strike effectively and quickly, making conflict decisive, in your favour.

To Survive And Stand Out In A Competitive Workplace
By: Gigi Aurora
Tags: Workplace, Wellbeing, Work, Mental Health, Competition

In a world where we humans are always more numerous and always more qualified – where the demand is higher than the offer on the job market : how do we set ourselves apart from the rest?

That’s not you against the world. That’s you against yourself.

Competition along humans feels heavier than ever. We tend to think that “ it’s me against the others”.

The truth is that we will always be compared to others, no matter what we do, no matter the area, no matter how hard we try.

Here where the shift should take place in our mind:

Rather than constantly comparing your own performance with others, take a step backward to analyze the situation as a whole. What’s your own performance within the context ?

The major thing in life you need to compare is you today against yesterday’s version of yourself.

Comparing the performance of the others with your own can terribly exhausting sometimes. This robs you of your mental energy. And it might leave you empty and depressed.

Keep that energy to do your job well instead.

Focus on your own thing.

Focus on being great rather that just being good enough.

Focus on always being better each day.

Look for being 1% better everyday.

The major thing in life you need to compare is you today against yesterday’s version of yourself.
