Have You Ever Felt Discouraged by Competition?
Hi everyone,
I’m not sure I’ve ever felt truly discouraged by competition, but I’ve definitely looked around and thought, “This road might be longer than I expected.”
It’s easy to see people who are years ahead, with established audiences and strong authority, and wonder if there’s even room for you. But I try to remind myself that everyone started somewhere—and that consistency and clarity often beat speed.
So, I’m curious:
- Have you ever felt discouraged by the amount of competition in your niche?
- How did you deal with it—or how are you dealing with it now?
Drop a quick comment. I’d love to hear your experience.
Thanks again to everyone who keeps this conversation going.

Hi Dan!
No matter the niche, whether online, retail, or other, there will always be competition. The best way to deal with it is to be unique and just plain better. By examining the competition and finding a unique selling proposition within the niche, you can achieve this.
Hi Howard, thank you for your comment. That is so true. As we keep improving and learning, we get better. Also, finding a unique selling position can give you an edge and help you establish authority. Well said.
Hi Dan, you really hit a very important point because COMPETITION activates all those FEARS about the fact that we cannot make it.
I hate competition because I see it as a primordial form of expressing myself, BUT since I am living in this world with these rules, I have to learn to COMPETE IN MY OWN TERMS.
My first competitor is myself and my fears. So instead of focusing on others, everyday I try to discover those beliefs that hold me back and re-address my attention toward the NEW energy I want to embody!
Hi Romy, thank you for your comment. You made a great point. I, too, believe that we should be focusing on ourselves first and foremost. Only we can control what we do and how we do it. Ultimately, the key is to persevere long enough, and the work will eventually pay off.

Great questions....
I didn't feel the competition except when I did freelance marketing like graphic design ec. It was as if everywhere I turned, there was competition and I felt kinda far when shorts popped up.
Hi Monse, thank you for your comment. I know graphic design and freelance marketing in general can be very competitive. I can see how seeing other content from established designers can feel intimidating.
Did you still manage to find clients and have success despite the competition?
I was able to get a client here and there but not something stable. Or there have been refferals and when I tell them how much a logo would be, thet expect me to charge them a dime.
I see, I think that is a common thing. Many people seeking services expect to pay less, even though a higher price often means better service as well.
