Hey everyone, Super Awesome Gabe here, quarterback-turned-business-owner, turned mentor to millions! Are you ready to talk about competition with the kind of energy you’d expect from a fourth-quarter comeback!

Competition: My Quarterback’s Playbook

Growing up as a quarterback, I learned that competition isn’t just about winning games—it’s about leading a team and calling the right plays under pressure. My endurance athlete days taught me about grit, even when my legs were begging for a timeout.

Here’s what I picked up along the way:

• Integrity & Fair Play: Whether you’re calling a play or pushing through a marathon, it’s all about doing the right thing, even when the coach isn’t watching.
• Taking a Loss Like a Pro: Losing a game or coming up short in a race? Sure, it stings, but it teaches you resilience. Every setback preps you for that next big play.
• Winning with Grace: Celebrate the victories, but don’t rub it in. I mean, really man? Who likes a showboat? Win with style, folks!

Business: The Big Leagues

Now that I’m in the business arena, competition takes on a whole new meaning. It’s not just about snagging the big contract; it’s about solving problems and making a difference.

• Solving Problems, Not Just Competing: In business, the MVP isn’t the one who boasts the most, but the one who solves the most problems. Do that, and the wins (and clients) will follow.
• Dominate, Don’t Just Compete: Why settle for being a player when you can be a legend? Be so good, they can’t ignore you. When you excel, clients aren’t just customers—they’re fans who keep coming back for more.
• Turning Clients into Raving Fans: It’s not just about closing deals; it’s about creating advocates. When your service wows them, they’ll do your marketing for you.

Would you rather have your clients singing your praises or your competitors’? As an athlete or industry leader, critics love to talk smack. Which side of that coin would you prefer to be on?

Rethink the Competition Game

Here’s the kicker: why spend time worrying about what others are doing? Focus on being the best version of you in your field. Sure, I respect my competitors, but when it’s a choice between their business or mine, you bet I’m going all in to win that client.

Why let someone else eat your lunch when you could be setting the table for success? By focusing on excellence, you’re not just competing—you’re leading the pack.

I view competition as a catalyst that spurs greatness, creates innovation, and makes dreams come true! Would you agree? If you like to dominate, or be the best in your field of expertise – let me know! Give me a thumbs up, a shout out and express your personal mindset about competition. Keep pushing to be the best YOU can be, stay true to your inner self, and above all KEEP SHINING!
