Mr. Monopoly Got It Wrong: Cooperation Makes More Money Than Competition 
By Kalinda Rose Stevenson
«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»¥«¤»§«¤»

Monopoly is a zero sum game based on competition. 
Since the money supply cannot increase, the players 
can win only by taking money from other players. 
The fundamental belief behind Monopoly is lack of money. 
This means that the only way to get more money is to take it away from others. 

This zero sum competitive game reflects the economic 
realities of the Great Depression. While thousands 
stood in breadlines, a handful made fortunes. 
For one to player to win, the others must lose. 

The rules of the Monopoly prohibit partnership. 
You cannot create joint ventures. You cannot loan money 
to another player. You cannot borrow money from another player. 

The psychological effect of playing this highly competitive game 
is that you are a solo player doing whatever you can to force 
the other players to go bankrupt. The last thing you want 
to do is to help someone else stay in the game because 
that person might go on to drive you out of the game. 

As an economic model for creating wealth, Monopoly 
teaches that competition is the way of the world. 
It reinforces social models based on competition, 
and the idea that success is a lonely climb over the heads of others. 

The belief that success means competition reinforces 
a whole array of social models and beliefs about the 
"survival of the fittest" and the "law of the jungle" where 
only the strong prevail. You can see the same belief 
behind the American mythology of the self-made man 
who pulls himself up by his bootstraps. 

Even Abraham Maslow's "hierarchy of needs" is a model 
of the individual striving to succeed as an individual. 
It is all part of the belief that success goes to the individual 
who wins the competition. 

This kind of imagery is deeply embedded in our consciousness 
about what it takes to make money and what it takes to 
succeed in business. Monopoly simply reinforces the fundamental 
belief that the road to success is paved with the bodies of your competitors. 

As a success model, what is the effect of a game based 
on competition for a limited money supply? You don't have 
to look any further than the statistic that 96% of the population 
will reach 65 without enough money to be financially self-sufficient. 
Instead of congratulating the 4% who somehow manage 
to create financial freedom for themselves in this economic 
system, you need to ask, "What is wrong with the game? 
Why do so many lose?"

The short answer is that our economic models teach 
competition for limited resources as the foundation of wealth. 
The model itself demands that almost everyone must end the game broke. 

What happens when you attempt to create wealth in 
business according to Monopoly Money Rules? 
It's a highly competitive game and a lonely struggle. 
You use your own money and do it alone. Will you succeed? 
Maybe. You might be one of the lucky few who manage to 
do it all yourself. More likely, you will end up as one of the 
casualties of those who tried to start a business but never 
made enough money to succeed. 

As a model for creating wealth, Monopoly is stuck in the 
mindset and money beliefs of the Great Depression. 
In the Monopoly game, the winner amasses money but 
does nothing to create money through transactions. 

The Great Depression ended more than sixty years ago. 
It's time for a new game with a new understanding of money. 
The fact is, you'll make more money in transactions than you 
will in takeovers. Mr. Monopoly had it wrong when he thought 
that winning meant driving competitors out of business. 
Yes, I know. The business world is still full of "black knights" 
and hostile takeovers. And sometimes the worst people seem to win. 

When you take off the Depression era Mr. Monopoly glasses, 
you can see a new vision of money and business. Money is 
not currency. Money is an idea, and the only limits to money 
are the limits of your vision. With this vision, you'll see that 
you will make more money in transactions than takeovers. 
In this era, the most enlightened business people understand 
that you will make more money in joint ventures with others 
than you will by competing against them.

5.) HOT BIZ*TIP
_____________________


Are You Being Banausic? 

Here is a little trick I use when writing. Every once in
awhile, when proof reading an article, I see that the same word
was used more than once in the same paragraph. 

A nifty thing about Word for Windows is that the Replace command
tells you how many words it found, and replaced when it's done.
You can take advantage of that to see how many times you use a
certain word in your document. 

As an example, suppose you know that you used the word "capable"
way too many times. One or two instances of "capable" are okay,
but more than that and you're being repetitive. 

To discover how many "capable" words (or any words for that
matter) are in your document, go to the Find and Replace command
and enter the same word (capable) in both the "Find" and
"Replace With" boxes. Click Replace All and Word will count the
instances of that word in your document. If you just want to
check part of the document, highlight the text you wish to
check. 

Nothing is replaced with this trick because you're searching for
a word and then replacing it with the same word. 

It just might be possible, you used the word "capable" too many
times. If so, it is time to break out the thesaurus -
http://thesaurus.reference.com/  Just for fun, look up banausic
under the Main Entry of Monotonous.

Basically, this little trick will word with any word processing
program that has a "Find and Replace" command.
