Guest speaker, Jake Thompson, Chief Encouragement Officer, challenged our members to better business owners by “Competing Everyday”. Pulling from his unique professional career, Jake distilled the art of competition into actionable tips such as: take control, don’t let fear guide you, be courageous, and press onward. Jake describes our real competition as ourselves. Real competitors have “grit”; “employ setbacks as a lesson”; and “end on empty”. He recommends having a goal to catch and pass the “next runner”. Competitors finish what they start and finish on an empty tank. Jake created a successful business utilizing these techniques and offers weekly encouragement via his podcast; “Compete Everyday”.
