Summary

Think your business idea has already been done? That might actually be a good thing. In this episode, I’m breaking down why I don’t believe saturated markets are something aspiring entrepreneurs should automatically avoid - and why existing competition can be a sign that there’s already proven demand. I share examples from my own businesses, including my shapewear brand, and explain how I’ve entered competitive industries by finding a different angle rather than trying to invent something completely new. I also get into how to identify your point of difference, understand what customers are missing and give people a compelling reason to choose your business over everyone else. You don’t always need a completely original idea. You need a reason for customers to choose you. Ready to start building?
