CarTalk with Kartik #260: How Underdogs Win
from CarTalk with Kartik · host Nitin Kartik
CarTalk with Kartik #260: How Underdogs WinDo we need to win immediately to win long term? That’s the question one of the CEOs I work with asked me recently. Having worked with over 50 CEOs, fueling millions in revenue growth, here’s my answer.When you are competing against a giant, the goal is not domination on day one. The real goal is credibility. Earn a seat at the table. Launch boldly so the market knows you are serious. Then focus on what you can win with the resources you already have, not what you lack. Growth compounds when you stay in the game long enough to build momentum. The CEOs who play the long game are the ones who eventually change the category. And that’s how underdogs win.This insight comes from page 184 of my bestselling business book Wisdom From Wizards.
