Day 254 - Your real competition https://golifelog.com/posts/your-real-competition-1631331883486
Over and over, this lesson repeats itself on my indie hacker journey. The breakthroughs I had were always more about pivoting myself.
Your competitor is not your real competitor.
The real competition is:
• Your ego and stubbornness in face of data
• Disinterest in learning, or not learning fast enough
• Procrastination or hesitation to take a risk
• Opportunities that are distractions
• Bad working/management habits
• Self-doubt or lack of confidence
Basically, willing or unable to adapt and change when the context had changed.
Pivoting oneself over pivoting the company.
Compete against that.
