I heard this daily in the Marine Corps "somewhere, right now, someone is training to kill you. What are you going to do today?" In the military, it was true. Some 15 year old who lives on a dollar a day in the mountains of some crap hole country is training to get the chance to slit my throat. So I better make sure I work harder today and get out of bed.
What does this have to do with business?
Hopefully your competitors aren't going to slit your throat. But they definitely want to eat your lunch.
Somewhere, someone is building something to take your business. What are you going to do about it today?
Approach every day with urgency and this mindset. Complacency kills. Don't let someone else beat you at your own game.
