Recently, I feel that I have been and am in a few business battles. Maybe it's the last debt collection episode, maybe it's behaviors of some competitors.
It certainly can get draining and even discouraging at times being a small business owner. In the course of over about a year. I've met many new business owners too and most times, it's everyone for themselves.
Of course, we do have very nice customers and partners who are the precious rare few. And it's these people that make the entrepreneur journey a delightful one. And I'm thankful to have met them and work together with them.
I wonder to myself whether it's my outlook and attitude. Will I behave in a menacing way when my business is more established? Will I try to kill of competition by snubbing out the little breathe of life in them?
I'm sure all businesses have their battles; it's a fight to keep your business alive. But I'm sure there's many ways to grow a business in corporative manner too. And I want my businesses to be like that.
Maybe I should view these "battles" as "negotiations" and opportunities to better myself at negotiating. It'll be more meaningful a fight then!
