Competition Should Always Be Admired..

Competition should never be feared, it should be admired. A lot of people when it comes to business always fear competition, but they don’t understand how beneficial it is to their own business. The essential part of competition especially in a business industry is it’s healthy and it grows the industry. The more attractive the industry is the busier everyone will be…but you need to hustle. Case in point, 10 years ago if I ever told you that there will be leagues that will consist of video game championships that will fill a 19,000 seat arena would you believe me? Probably not. But E leagues are a specific and essential part to our culture, believe it or not. The growing competition in E leagues primarily on the title of the game and it’s genre, Play a central role.

Well that probably means that you are in the wrong "echo chamber". You maybe saying to yourself right now...what the heck does that mean?!  An echo chamber is not a futuristic sci-fi capsule to keep you forever young, it's a fancy new term ...that means your surroundings and the people that are in it.         An echo chamber can either derail you or lift you to the next level of your life.  It all comes down  to who might be within it and what they are trying to echo throughout the room.  But if you happen to be in one that might make you feel heavy, negative, not promising, or too self centered...you need to leave it and say goodbye....no matter how personal the grouping might be to you.  Your mis
