Why You Shouldn't Worry About Competition

Our competitors were better on all fronts.

They had it all:

• Large funding, while we were bootstrapped.
• Media spotlight, while we were quietly building.
• Prestigious accelerators, while we refused to join.
• Large teams, while we were a handful of founders.
• An array of features, while we focused on the core.
• Dedicated sales teams, while I was on double duty.
• Generous salaries, while we couldn't pay ourselves.
• Top-tier execs, while we were multitasking endlessly.
• Lavish marketing, while we relied on word-of-mouth.

On paper, we shouldn't have stood a chance.

Yet, here we are, while most can’t tell their side of the story.

They ran out of money, or they simply gave up.

If you’re worried about competition, just stop.

Focus that energy into building a business that lasts.

And when you do, you’ll be the one beating on all fronts.
