Last year,
over 10,000 romance novels
were published.
543,000 new U.S. businesses
are started every month.
When I applied for a job
at a major beverage company,
human resources looked
at the first 800 resumes
and discarded the rest.
It doesn’t matter which businesses we start
or which careers we choose,
we will face competition.
Yes, you should be aware of the competition
and know the odds of success
but you can’t allow
fear of competition to stop you.
If it DOES stop you,
consider whether or not
you truly want to pursue the business/career.
