What Can You Learn from Your Competition?: Crash Course Business Entrepreneurship #4

[@ShaneHummus]

Knowing your enemy is the best thing to do to make more money in your market. It will also help you review you and your business if you are still on track and still solving your target markets problem.

[@charlesphilips2045]

I really needed Anna Akana in my life today, and CrashCourse made that happen. Awesome series. Very helpful.

[@Colonies_Dev]

BEST HOST

[@arminrau-makingstartupspro7878]

I believe the best way to beat any competitor is to truly understand what the customer wants and match it 100%. Empathy is key.

[@asliyase]

Who else loved the parks & rec reference

[@chillsahoy2640]

It's kind of eerie how the forces which are good or convenient for entrepreneurs are usually also bad or inconvenient for customers. "Competition is good, it drives innovation and keeps prices cheaper! Oh but if you're a business owner competition is bad because it lowers your profits and forces you to come up with ways to get ahead of your competitors."

[@rea8585]

Me: So, what do I have to do so other people won't steal my ideas? CrashCourse: Your ideas have to really stink! 😀

[@Mr.Turano]

Funny, and clear. Keeping up the crash course tradition. Great job.

Cersei: I destroyed the sept of Baylor Daenerys: oh sweetie

[@JeroenDoes]

On the one hand i find this serries fasinating. Business is maybe the biggest factor in our modern live. That being said I always get a existential crisis when watching, my body just reels against the thought of compitition. The moment i start thinking in that way I imidiatly start stressing and losing focus making me preform worse. But that is my problem.

[@lorddinosaur9885]

SPOILERS So Daenerys learned burning excessive amounts of people from Cersei?

[@zachheilman784]

The 5 forces are great to be aware of for entrepreneurs and small business, but holy cow they match up almost exactly with shady stuff that large businesses do that makes customers lives' miserable (here's looking at you, Comcast et. al.)

[@thegabrieljulie]

liking competition can help you to go harder and faster, but I think you shouldn't get to watch what they are doing. You could be influenced in a bad way. Stay in your lane and crush them!

[@theguardian3431]

Anna Akana in Crashcourse? Hell yeah! Stay awesome, Gotham!

[@moonflower-lavalamps]

i'm using this as an audiobook, i was about to sleep but i'm pretty sure that's from parks and rec

Competition isn’t bad, it keeps prices low. It’s actually illegal for businesses to “cooperate” in some ways such as setting prices

[@kingsickpuppy6227]

Destroy your enemies completely and utterly. Conquer what is rightfully yours

[@abuhuraira3685]

There's how most individuals and businesses fail They endlessly debate how to move forward while standing still

[@AngelAnthony.]

A pretty face can make anything seem "not so cut throat" ... but the reality is competition at it's core is a bi-product of greed, scarcity and ignorance. Which is a state of mind the leaders of this world are still in today.

[@elijahtrenton8351]

Mister_A they’re kind of like Apple even though other companies make movies or computers in apple’s case no one make it the way they do everything time. They’ve created a brand where you know what to expect and have exclusives title that have childhood memories or proprietary software that your learned as a child/teen/young adult and know like the back of your hand.

[@bjf10]

Imagine how much we could learn if we worked together instead of constantly stabbing each other in the back in a race to the bottom.

[@ddddddd3578]

That's called collusion and the government will actively try to hinder what you're doing so businesses have to constantly compete & innovate in order to make customers better-off. Invisible Hand seems great :)

[@bjf10]

Better off? No, business compete in order to steal as much surplus value as possible. They will do absolutely anything, no matter how immoral, in order to increase their profits; if they do not, a more ruthless capitalist will come along and drive them out of business. Imagine how much better life could be if nobody was motivated by greed and profits, but instead we worked together.

[@ddddddd3578]

@@bjf10 it's impossible to do in today's world sir. We can't dream up an imaginary world where everyone works together to solve problems (although it is a future wanted by many) so we have to take the state of the world as given, and turns out the best way to maximize efficiency in this world is to have competition and "greedy" capitalists run the system. It ain't perfect, but it's what we got goin

[@bjf10]

@@ddddddd3578 Incorrect. The capitalist class grows fat off of our labor because we let them. All we have to do is say no, and they starve.

[@ddddddd3578]

@@bjf10 well we can't really say no to the capitalists, we need food after all. There has been some attempts to create a good enough Welfare system so no one will starve to death, but in this world to gain a higher standard of living is to work, and almost everyone would love a higher standard of living than what they currently occupies (also to maintain existing habits & lifestyles) so we also need businesses to employ us ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ P.S try to compare real wages of american workers to real profit of businesses, they often rise and fall at the same time.
