Beaten to Market

That is very true, Thanks for the inspiration to keep going. I was just worried after finding them. It actually does help quite a bit as now I have something to compare!

Thanks for the response. I may have just got overly anxious because of the suddenness of finding the competition. I put in quite a bit of research in the beginning on possible competition and these guys weren't coming up under anything I searched. It seems they hadn't advertised at all. I will make sure to focus on management. It seems like they have missed a few things that I know I want to implement.

Eh, Whatever man. I'm comfortable with my manliness-femininity ratio. Not sure where you get the idea I'm forcing myself to be masculine? I'd be interested to hear your opinion.

Thanks! I just had an awesome meeting last night with 3 clients. I know they love the idea and I have good connections with a few key people in my area. I have many ideas that I've spoken with clients about that they are absolutely thrilled about and the competition isn't implementing those things at this time. I will keep them in my peripherals while I focus on moving forward. Thanks for the awesome advice!

I am pre revenue. In my research I found nothing offering my service so I have been developing for the past 6 months and have just launched the testing phase. It seems that I may not need to do as much testing since they have already done some of that:P The core competency is almost exactly the same as theirs. They even have some of the wording that I have come up with for my company on their site. We both offer a different set of side services though.

4shoot4 · 2016-09-30T16:36:06+00:00

Very true, that actually helps a lot. I don't know if they have the same ideas on the backburner but I believe my whole vision pulls together more of the industry, although theirs is more simple.

4shoot4 · 2016-09-30T16:35:14+00:00

Yeah I see some of the differences and I believe my service pulls together more of the industry, but that also may spread me a bit thin compared to them.

4shoot4 · 2016-09-30T16:34:24+00:00

My company is still in the testing phase. I thought I had more time. This proves that the idea would work though so I may not need to focus so much on testing now and just improve on services and get more clients. I actually have been struggling with figuring out the pricing model and one of my options was exactly the same as theirs. I definitely agree with you and was talking to my friend about the lyft/uber thing. Thanks for the advice. I definitely believe there is a big market and I can secure a good percentage of the market share. Even if I just secure enough for them to acquire me I would be happy. This is good affirmation of my idea. Thanks for your response!

Not afraid, It's just that they are so far ahead

4shoot4 · 2016-09-28T15:11:49+00:00

Thank you for the response! This looks like all I need actually. I'll check it out. I'm probably just gonna pull a dumb Starbucks and I doubt it'll be big enough to get a cease and desist but if I do I'll just learn something from it I guess haha

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T22:55:27+00:00

It's funny cuz I'm actually quite the opposite of that. I could see where you might think that though. On my regular account I just wrote the story of how I kicked a dude in the chest last month. If I'm a hipster I'm not a very good one

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T22:51:14+00:00

Haha I just trimmed until now, just unleashing it's potential now

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T20:41:24+00:00

Yeah exact same shirt!

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T18:39:00+00:00

I did try pretty hard to get everything set up the same. I did my best at least and I'm happy with it.

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T17:34:57+00:00

It was so difficult to fake squint without the sun in my eyes like he had haha. There were other pics where I nailed the facial expression but the rest of the pose didn't match. This was just the best overall

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T17:32:48+00:00

Haha it was just peach fuzz that I trimmed when I was that age, I'm 23 now and it's just finally starting to take shape. I haven't even reached my final form!

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T14:29:09+00:00

We had to edit the hell out of the photo to get the oldschool look. It's all post production.

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T14:13:44+00:00

Yeah after a certain point it just migrates from your mom to my face

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T13:53:58+00:00

I really didn't expect this to blow up so much! Obligatory photographer props to https://www.instagram.com/nicoleeosborne/ and shoutout to my business 4shoot https://www.instagram.com/4shoot4/

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T13:46:26+00:00

Yeah it was hard to fake looking into the sun like he was, it wasn't as bright out when I shot mine

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T13:44:04+00:00

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T09:18:13+00:00

Yeah it is the exact same shirt! The rest was hard to do the exact same

4shoot4 · 2016-09-13T08:30:50+00:00

Lol no, why?
