Throwback Thursday: My Thoughts on Competition, and Why I No Longer Do It

This is another post in our ongoing Throwback Thursdays Series, where we share blog posts from the past to bring you a ton of value and help you learn faster.

Today, I’m sharing one of my old posts with you, My Thoughts On Competition, and Why I No Longer Do It

Let’s get to it.

My Thoughts On Competition, and Why I No Longer Do It

In my network of friends / family / colleagues, I’m most often known as ‘The Investment Guy’.

Because of this, I’m often asked about the latest trend in investing, whether it be years ago, gold and silver, the Greek Crash a couple years ago, or more recently, weed stocks and cryptocurrency.

To see our other videos in this series, where I give my thoughts on weed stocks, crypto, diversification, retirement plans and more, click here.

Today, I give you my thoughts on something a bit different.

I always have been, and still am, hyper-competitive in many things.

But today I tell you why I rarely compete in anything other than cards, games, and against my past self anymore.

Let’s get to it.

In the 14-minute video above, I tell you my thoughts on competition.

Here are some of the things I talked about in the video above.

• What I’m hyper-competitive
• Why I no longer compete in most things
• Why I try to dominate
• Why I still will work to beat you every time I play any kind of game against you
• Competitive advantages
• And more…

You learn several reasons above for why I rarely try to compete anymore.

This video from Eric Thomas further illustrates that point.

If you’re wondering how I apply this concept to everyday life, one example is my investment portfolio.

I haven’t bought anything in 3.5 years in the stock market because I won’t compromise on my strict investment criteria.

This disciplined mindset has helped me produce higher returns in the first six years of my career than Warren Buffett produced in the first six years of his career, and helped me crush the market when comparing my returns to the S&P 500 and other indexes.

I shoot for great. Always. Never average.

Does that mean I always achieve this? Of course not.

But at least I’ve learned a lot along the way and have gotten to a higher level by trying and putting in full effort.

I’m a huge believer that this mindset can help you too.
