Overcome the Competition Inside.

“Fight your fear, your laziness, your ignorance before you worry about fighting the competition.”
― Amit Kalantri,Wealth of Words 

An entrepreneur can only become a successful if he looks at competition in the face everyday and vow to rise above it,but an entrepreneurs biggest threat is his own vices

Everyone hates to fail, but for some people, failing presents such a significant psychological threat that their motivation  to avoid failure exceeds their motivation to succeed. This fear of failure causes them to unconsciously sabotage their chances of success, in a variety of ways. But one can always overcome this by taking control of the situation Identify aspects of the task or preparation that are in your control and focus on those. And then own fear – meaning that It is important to accept that failure makes you feel both fear and shame, and to find trusted others with whom you can discuss these feelings. Bringing these feelings to the surface can help prevent you from expressing them through unconscious efforts to sabotage yourself.

Laziness is a trait that everyone has but for an entrepreneur  this trait is something that he has to keep in check all the time because if he lets laziness overcome him then his very existence is questioned . and everybody likes a Saturday off or procrastinating a work for the tomorrow that never comes and its very easy to do that. But an entrepreneur must always be alert and ensure that laziness is not part of his routine.

Ignorance is not bliss like many would like us to believe. Ignorance is one of the main reasons why entrepreneurs are not successful. Only if he/she knows what is the necessity of the community that he is serving, and understand the pros and cons of different ways to tackle that problem and come up with a working idea, can his idea become successful. Ignorance  will be the downfall of any entrepreneur.

Therefore before fighting the competition outside an entrepreneur must fight the threats inside to ensure that he/she is successful.
