Episode 147: It’s All Been Done Before, Why Should I Bother (FS147)

“Has my topic been done already and done so well that my take on it isn’t really necessary?”

Marissa has a specific idea for her business. It’s a good idea.

But other people have already started businesses doing something similar.

  • Should she move on to another area of interest?
  • Are there ways she can make her idea more unique?
  • Should she move forward regardless?
  • How can she tell if it’s something worth pursuing or not?

Chances are you feel the same way about your business idea. You’re not alone, and we’ve got experience and insight for you in the podcast today.

Enjoy!
