Fear of competition: How to overcome it?

[Daniel Mendez]

Good morning members,

For those who have deals already under your belt, did you ever have a time when you were beginning where you saw how much competition there was in your local market and think to yourself "how in the world am i even going to compete or find a deal in such a competitive market?!"

How do you overcome such fear and move past it?!

I was just arrogant enough to believe that I wasn't the stupidest and least industrious person involved in real estate in my town. This joke helps.

Two men are on safari in the jungle and they hear a tiger cough nearby. One of the men stops, drops his backpack and opens it, and takes out a pair of lightweight running shoes. He sits down to put them on. The other man laughs at him. "Are you crazy? Do you think you can outrun a tiger?"

The first man finishes lacing up his sneakers and stands up. "I don't have to outrun the tiger. I just have to outrun you."
