Business IS war!!

[iamivanlee]

Business IS very much war!

If you really want to be an entrepreneur than this is something you simply must come to grips with.

Here is the ugly truth.

War consists of espionage, public relations, misinformation campaigns and bloodshed.

Business is the exact same except replace bloodshed with bankruptcy.

As an entrepreneur I form alliances with other entrepreneurs whom have similar goals and beliefs that I have. Together we are at constant war against all of our competitors. There is no mercy. I will take you out in a heartbeat. We will steal your idea if we think it will give us an advantage and we regulary spy on our competition.

In business just like in war there is only win or lose. YOU DO NOT WANT TO BE ON THE LOSING END!!

You are so right on! If business is not competitive, it's not business! This idea that everyone can work together is hogwash - imagine if Toyota said to GM, "You're right, it's our turn to make crappy cars for 20 years so you guys don't continue to suffer." If you don't have balls enough to compete, then find a new hobby.

Now with that being said...

No one is saying that you cant have friends in war on the contrary. Countries form strategic alliances all the time. I suggest we all do the same. Just remember that at the end of the day it is all about winning NOT how you play the game. "ahh they went bankrupt but they were such a nice company." is not going to make you feel any better. If it does you might want to think about starting a non profit. (heck, even they are ruthless!)

buisness can turn out to be personal

this reminds me something i just saw, it's called thick black theory, some old chinese banned strategy, which tells you how to be a successful but kind of bastard person. i didn't read it in english yet.

It's wise to remind yourself that business CAN be war, but treating everything in business as though it IS war won't get you very far.

Yes, I agree with you. Besides this, this thread reminded me of the book The Art of War.

I think business aint a WAR.

All you have to do is create....Look at Rolls Royce or Hilton Hotels
No competition....All they d is create. its all about creating
and understanding that the customer is king or queen.

If you think business is a war....your gonna have a tough time
being relaxed because you will think your always being attacked.
