attacked on both flanks
excitement is getting into my nerves!
i am being attacked by two different competitors on my accuplay internet cafe and accuclear water processing at the same time. when im attacked at separate times in one business segment, i can usually fend off compet1t1on with more flexibilities. flexibilities coming from the cash flows of my other businesses that are not attacked to support a sudden shift on my attacked business. i have the luxury of time to watch their moves and counter-attack with so much force even to a point where they will eat all their moves back. "play with their minds not on the board", my chess mentor always say. i’ll admit that they are getting into my mind since they made a business stance that is based from mine. on the left flank of my internet cafe, the owner is a good client of ours who i sometimes talk about the strategies that i have in mind. things like cash cycle, costing, shock marketing, differentiation and a lot of other things. i guess she tempts my key staff to be in their boat. on the right flank of my water processing biz, the owner got the consultancy sevices of one of the key people i also share ideas regaring stategy on water. ofcourse this is the greatest complement a biz person can get, being copied simultaneously on two different fields!whahahahah
its like im playing with myself at a simultaneous game attack from two different camps. i am forced to think of strategies which could defeat my own!hehehe its ok. its what i want in life. excitement! "kid kicking people’s ass", my mind says! sige, i’ll use my chess learnings again.
in chess, when you are attacked at both corners. it is not advisable to defend both. it is also not advisable to defend on one side because it might only be a diversionary tactic. the key here is to control the "center". battling fire with fire! the only difference is in chess, i play with a single person who might "over extend" his capacity on both flanks. in this case i’m playing with two separate companies that has different stashes of resources. i wished that my accudish satellite tv was not delayed. it could have been in perfect timing. i could price them below the belt for 2 solid years getting all of the funds to support it from my satellite tv business. that could have been the "center push" that i need! its rescheduled at april 15 and maybe just in time where my new competitors would start. i would have wished a 1-2 month ahead time for these.
readers, please recommend a strategy to handle these exciting threats.
thank you!
