    As soon as I started listening/watching, I liked this video, as I was sure I’d like it. But now that I’ve seen/heard it, I want to “love” this video but there’s no heart icon (like Twitter has) and so I’ll have to just leave my reaction with the simple thumbs up.

    In your closing, you mentioned about Innovator's Gift in solving our customer problem a whole lot better. You did mentioned also being different.
    And in your LinkedIn post, you mentioned
    "Different > Better
    Incumbents always win when you play the better game because of inertia.
    Break the pattern by being different, not better.
    Force a choice versus a comparison."
    Maybe the context is different, but how we see "better" in these different contexts? This is a good video every founder and team need to see. I called a team meeting because of this video. Thank you Sir!

      @@Bryanica When you change the axes by which customers judge better and go to extremes, you create something different :)
      It still needs to be “better” in those new areas but often starts out worse in the old axes.

    Many overlook the real threat-losing FOCUS on their unique value.
    COMPETITION isn’t just about others; it’s about staying TRUE to your vision. Stay SHARP, innovate, and keep pushing boundaries. 🚀💡

    If you can't find any competitors, your product either no market or you are vey smart.
    No market: somebody already innovates same product but failure and the product already inexists.
    Very smart: you innovate new products with new market.
    No competitor or having competitor , which one is risky?

    You have misunderstood the way of founders claiming they have no competition, there is a difference between direct and indirect competition founders who claim they have no competition what this really means is that they do not have direct competition who have the same innovative or differentiated products or services as themselves, direct competition means similar products/services indirect competition means different or innovative services or products that the existing alternatives do not have the same alternatives as theirs.

      I have read both books… I’ll make my argument differently. You said there’s direct and indirect competition, right? But isn’t the word competition in both? So you can’t claim “no” competition.
      The more disruptive a product the more direct threat is indirect vs direct competition. Kind of ironic, isn’t it?

      There is always an old way of doing things in business and also a new way and innovative or improved way of doing things this means a business model that is outdated cannot compete at the same level as the innovative one for example traditional taxi's cannot compete at the same level as Uber so in this case Uber has a very strong entry barrier and that makes it a company that has no competition competing at the same level as Uber.
