The 7 Enemies

Every hero needs an enemy. Selecting the right one can be a matter of life or death of a brand.

I. The Giant

The Threat: A dominant leader towers over the market, controlling perception and dictating terms.

How to Fight It: Flank the leader with a focused sub-category and own it outright.

II. The Relic

The Threat: Outdated traditions and legacy systems that cling to power and slow progress.

How to Fight It: Expose them as obsolete and position yourself as the modern alternative.

III. The Labyrinth

The Threat: Competitors who bury customers in complexity, bloated features, and bureaucracy.

How to Fight It: Cut through with ruthless simplicity and make adoption effortless.

IV. The Corrupt Order

The Threat: Entrenched players who profit from pollution, exploitation, or broken trust.

How to Fight It: Confront the corruption head-on and rally customers around your cause.

V. The Weak Core

The Threat: Market leaders who overextend, dilute, or lose their essence while chasing growth.

How to Fight It: Strike where they've lost focus and stay true to a single, unshakable center.

VI. The Vault

The Threat: Gatekeepers who lock customers into closed systems and rigid platforms.

How to Fight It: Break open the market by offering openness and freedom of choice.

VII. The Mirage

The Threat: Competitors built on false promises, hype, and inflated claims.

How to Fight It: Stand for truth, prove your value relentlessly, and watch illusions collapse.
