I used to worry about the big players in the market and how they might overshadow my startup. But I’ve learned that with patience, persistence, and hard work, there’s always room for products created by passionate and dedicated individuals.

Absolutely, there are moments when I feel intimidated by competitors, especially when they seem to be ahead in ways that I admire or aspire to.
But honestly, I’ve learned to reframe that feeling as a motivator rather than a setback. When I catch myself comparing, I remind myself that everyone’s journey is different, and my unique strengths are my real edge. Competitors push me to be better, and that’s something I’ve grown to appreciate even if it’s a little nerve-wracking at times!

Focus on your unique value prop and keep innovating - that's the best way to stand out from competitors. Ultimately there's room for multiple players if you execute well on solving customer pain points. A little healthy competition keeps you on your toes!
