In rugby league, there’s no greater contest than State of Origin; New South Wales v Queensland; Blues v Maroon; mate vs mate. It’s a three game series that has taken on almost mythic proportions in Australian sport.

Each year, the games seem to get tougher and the players push themselves to greater heights. The competition itself drives them to be better.

And it’s the same in business. World class success will never come from staying in your comfort zone. Take a look at your competition, what can you do differently? What will give you an edge? Can you do better? Only by embracing competition and being willing to take chances do we truly learn how far we can go.
