The Real Reason Most Businesses Barely Survive
Here's a truth that most business books won't tell you: the fundamental problem with getting rich isn't lack of hard work or innovation-it's competition itself. In truly competitive markets, profits naturally drift toward zero. This isn't pessimism; it's basic economics. Think about your local coffee shop competing with Starbucks, or a small retailer facing Amazon. No matter how brilliant the strategy, competition erodes profits like water wearing down stone. Circuit City's spectacular rise and fall perfectly illustrates this brutal reality. Founded in 1949 after Sam Wurtzel overheard a conversation about television broadcasting at a barbershop, the company revolutionized electronics retail. By the 1980s, Circuit City had discovered a temporary advantage: using its massive scale to squeeze suppliers for better deals. Between 1982 and 1997, their stock outperformed the market by 18.5 times-the best performance of any Fortune 500 company. Yet by 2008, they were bankrupt. Why? Best Buy emerged with similar advantages, and competition did what it always does-eliminated excess profits. Even genius offers no escape. Long-Term Capital Management, staffed with financial wizards including two future Nobel Prize winners, initially generated 59% returns through sophisticated mathematical models. But as competitors copied their strategies, returns fell to 25%, then the fund collapsed so catastrophically in 1998 that the Federal Reserve orchestrated a $3.6 billion bailout. The lesson is clear: in competitive markets, even the smartest eventually regress to average. To achieve spectacular wealth, you must escape competition entirely.
