If there is a demand for something, somebody somewhere has most likely already cobbled together a solution to meet their own need, and then turned around and resold that solution to other people.

It's extremely rare to find a widely spread problem with zero pre-existing solutions or competitors in that field.

Escaping your competition by blowing past them is a fundamentally different concept than finding problems to solve that don't already have solutions and existing competition though...

This is more intensely competing so that you never compete again.
