The way I am handling my current business competitor (Growth is all that matters).
Beautiful project hope members, hope your September is going well already? Anyways mine is going pretty cool although I am still struggling with meeting some daily targets basically because I just keep waking up late every day and I guess one of the reason behind that is that I sleep quite late too so I am just going to have to work on sleeping a little bit early maybe this will help me wake up earlier the following day.

This beautiful Monday morning I want to talk to you about how I am gradually overcoming the dislike I have for my next door competitor, I have previously told you about how much she annoys me because she started competing with me and even displays her wares in a public space which sometimes prevents others from seeing mine. At first I was really angry and frustrated about this action but over time I learnt to be more peaceful with myself and pursued every form of peace.
Competition is certain in business, people wake up every day with the intention to build a type of competition to a business place which is not completely a bad idea because without competition, the market place will not be flooded with variety for people to choose from.

While handling competition, I have learnt not to place my mind on my competitor, the only thing I should do is to learn from her (if there is anything to learn), but making my competitor my major focus or major disturbance is not healthy for me and my business. The fact that I now have a competitor does not mean my business will deteriorate at all (except I permit it), most business owners panic when a new competitor surfaces basically because they are not ready to face the competition (which is what happened to me also).
The truth is you have no reason to panic whenever a competition comes around, you just need to relax and calm your nerve and think of ways to beat the competitor, there is no reason to even hate the competitor at all because there might be lessons to learn. Re-strategizing is all you need, you have to think of ways to continue to have your customers knocking on your door step and also think of a way to get new ones.
Business should not be this difficult is one thing I have learnt overtime, you do not have to kill yourself over anything, no matter what happens just ensure you are making progress and you are doing everything in your power to stay on top of your game (I hope I am making sense a little bit), I don’t want you to overwork yourself or frustrate yourself too much over something you just need to work upon with adequate calculation.
Thanks a lot for reading, stay motivated and loved. Have a beautiful week ahead, I am @oluwatobiloba.
Hello @oluwatobiloba
It makes me laugh about waking up early, my wife is also one of those who has a hard time getting up, and it makes me laugh because for me it's normal to get up at 4 or 5 am, the alarm goes off and I get up, already, without thinking much about it. I don't even need an alarm to get up, because it's a habit.
As for the competition, there will always be in all businesses, it is necessary in fact, is what in some way challenges us to seek more options.
It is a big deal for me maybe because I sleep pretty late but is that an excuse... That early morning sleep always draws me more into bed.
Hello friend, very good publication, I believe that the competition will always exist, so we must give the best of us so that the clients want our products and our attention. We have to keep on working because in the end we all have the right to do it.
Right.... Giving our best will make our effort worth it at the long run.
