This implies you think selling something "new/different" will be easier to sell. But that might not be true.

- Competition is good because it validates the product/service. It means there is a market and people are buying already.

- "New" things will also have competition (in a different form). Your prospects will likely already have a product/method for accomplishing the thing your product/service provides. For example an air conditioner doesn't just compete with other air conditioners. They must also compete with other ways of cooling like fans or even water.
