Is There Really Too Much Competition?

According to host May Yeo Silvers, one of the main reasons that many eventrepreneurs get discouraged from entering the market is because they believe there is too much competition. While there are many people who run successful event planning businesses, May explains that the only competition you need to worry about is yourself.  In the event planning business, competition is actually a positive because it proves there is a demand for event planning services. Entering into a market with no competition would require you to be the industry pioneer; and while you would initially get all the business, May explains that competition is always inevitable. That is why there is no reason to become discouraged by the success of others. If you focus on the growth and development of your business, you will see results.  Tune into this week’s episode of The Unstoppable Eventrepreneur Podcast™ to learn how your business can thrive even in an industry full of competitors.     Quotes • “When there's no competition, it means there's not enough demand.” (01:35-01:40) • “In the events field, competition is great.
