The Struggle you face now is not solely due to your competence. But also from the Position You’re standing. All you need to do at the moment is asking a critical question: Am I surrounded by right people and resources that are willing to push and help you towards better? 👌

Productize yourself

Wisdom: Escaping competition is actually simple. It involves identifying an activity that “feels like play to you but looks like work to others”. To you work becomes art, flow and fulfilment. Then you can outcompete everyone else through Authenticity, NOT by how smart you are. 👌

Rejection-then-retreat tactic in book “Influence” of R.Caldini: Start with a large request(rejected)-> Retreat to a smaller request(what you originally wanted). Because this smaller request looks like another person earns some benefits, so he would “meet you halfway” and agree.
