Episode #47: Your Competition, Isn’t

In this solo episode, Chuck Blakeman challenges one of the most deeply held beliefs in business: the idea that you have competition.
What if competition doesn’t exist?
Chuck shares how adopting a scarcity mindset—where business is a zero-sum game—leads to fear, stress, and toxic culture. But when you embrace an abundance mindset, everything changes. You stop chasing other people’s success, and start building something truly your own.
You’ll hear:
✅ Why “competition” is a distraction, not a threat
✅ How copying other businesses leads to mediocrity
✅ Why abundance-minded leaders build more successful (and joyful) businesses
✅ Real stories from Microsoft, Apple, and Chuck’s own journey that illustrate the difference
✅ How to focus your time and energy on your unique value instead of playing defense
💡 “You weren’t built to chase someone else’s dream. You were built to create your own.”
If you’ve been looking over your shoulder, measuring your value by someone else’s success, this episode is your wake-up call.
