The reason why many people did not go far in their business life, is because they wanted to do it all alone. They wanted to keep all the profits to themselves, and not have to share it with anybody else. But a smarter businessman knows that when smart people cooperate, good profits tend to be generated.

Most people don't think deep enough to understand that, having part of a big profit, could be more beneficial to you; than having the whole of a smaller profit. Let's take for example, a man who owns his business, and decided not to cooperate with other businessmen like himself.

Such a businessman may generate 100x worth of profits in one month - and keeps it all to himself. But if that same businessman, had cooperated with other businessmen; and they all gathered resources together to do the business, he could have generated 2,000x of profits in a month.

Meaning that if he had cooperated he could have made a lot more profits for himself. And there are cases, where in other to scale up your business, you simply have to get other people involved. But businessmen who don't know how to cooperate shut their doors to others.

Learning to become more cooperative is very useful in the business world, because two good heads tend to be better than one. But it should be noted that when you cooperate with others, you all should be winners and the cooperation should be mutually benefitting for all parties involved.
