This short article will reveal a very unique but overlooked trait that seems to separate those who are highly successful from everyone else.

I was recently thinking about entrepreneurship and what I noticed was there were varying levels of achievement among entrepreneurs. So you have some that are doing pretty good. But then you have others that are doing really extraordinary things.

The specific observation I made was that the best of the best, the winners, tend to be highly competitive. This trait, this mindset often translates really well, particularly in a business setting because just like athletics, the ones who really want to win and the ones who really want to be successful are usually the victors.

This doesn’t necessarily mean that you will always win or be the best. But the embodiment of competitiveness is something that should be a distinguishing quality if you want to be among the best.

Everyone has the potential to achieve greatness. But very few ever live up to their full potential. And what you will find is that the one-percenters treat everything as a competition, which makes them more likely to be successful at whatever they do.

So, this is something to consider for anyone who wants to dominate in business or in life. Try to approach everything as a competition. Study it. Prepare for it. Obsess over it. Then, go out and get it! Because that’s what the winners are doing.
