An important aspect of understanding your business ecosystem is knowing your position within it (positioning), whether you hold a higher or lower (subordinate) role, and whether your offerings are substitutes or complements. Netflix started as a DVD rental service. With the rise of online streaming, Netflix saw it as a replacement for DVD rentals. Kimbap and Ramen are complementary goods, but Ramen and Udon are substitutes. This is why, even when setting up a snack bar, paying attention to the menu is crucial. Complementary goods increase sales, while substitutes are more likely to lead to no change or even a decline in sales. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
There are many reasons why a business is challenging. Still, the most general and essential mistake is the inability to distinguish between “good and bad revenues” and “good and bad debts.” Competitors take away good revenues if you are not competitive, and relatively inadequate revenues are selected. If the financial situation is terrible, choosing a lousy debt rather than a good one will be possible. Sometimes, your situation makes a bad choice, but somebody stands up to the problem and endures a chance. In other words, emotion and patience are more important than the situation.
