5 IDEAS YOU NEED TO KNOW IN A COMPETITIVE BUSINESS

This piece was spurred by a friend complaining of a drastic income reduction in his business which has made him develop the habit of grumbling about bad markets on daily basis.

He called me to seek a piece of advice. According to him, his business is not thriving since other businessmen have established around him - selling the same product.

I didn't ask him the specific business he's engaging in but was calculating how to proffer a solution.

Hey! if you're the one facing such, are you going to feel irritated against the other business partners? How will you feel if a new businessman establishes a similar business in your area?

Every business needs to strategize effectively in order not to be worried about trivial issues.

If you're in the shoe of my friend, what's your next agenda? Are you going to feel discouraged in your business? Have you imagined how people are making it on other platforms, through similar content or product?

Whenever there is competition in a business, the owners do not need to bother. You should know that people engaging in big businesses are not the only ones selling such products. Many people are selling the same product as you.
