Playing the Game of Business

Imagine that you lived in an odd world where everything seemed very real, but was in fact a game.

If you lived in such a place, how would you play the game of business?

Here are the rules:

1. Use your imagination and personal genius to create the conditions that allow you to continue to play and win.

2. You can do anything you want in this game; you just have to be able to get important things done that set up conditions that allow you to eventually win.

3. Winning or losing the game of business is based on your personal assumptions and desires. You create the conditions of winning. Not playing hard or smart enough will cause you to lose, however.

4. There are people who can help you achieve more of what you want and extend what you are capable of doing in the game BUT you have to expend energy of some sort to engage these “helpers.”

Sometimes you’ll find that you either don’t have enough energy or you run out of time to take advantage of the super-boost these other players can give you.

5. You have to consistently reach out to people who do not know about your entry in the game and let them know you’re there.

6. You must help other players see the advantage of playing with you and get them to merge their game into yours.  

7. You also have to develop conditions that allow the two of you to continuously play the game with one another or you will have lost a playing partner.

Remember, it's harder and more expensive to find someone new to play with than it is to keep playing with people you already connected with.

8. And you have to continuously find new people to play the game of business with or you will run out of energy and will be eliminated from the game all together.

Once you reach your desired outcome in the game you have won.

At that point, you can continue to play the same game, stop playing all together or create a brand new game of business and start all over again.

So, how’s the game going for you?

Are you clear on the rules? 

Do you have a way to attract other players into your game and help them see the advantages of playing with you?

Once you’ve attracted the interest of a new player, how do you help them merge their game into your game?

Once you have merged, how to you encourage other players to keep playing with you and not go off to someone else’s game instead?

It’s all quite a miraculous thing, this game of business.

Are you playing to win, playing to survive another day, or playing so poorly you will eventually lose the competition and have to step down?
