Good, you are already one step ahead of your competitors who don't realise the same. Now read business books, philosophy books, The Prince and Art of War

Running a business isn't like running a mafia, its a network of people that try to find connections between what they do and making money.

Also, the business world isn't as cut throat and nasty as you think it is, people legitimately try to be supportive of one another while making money.

You view of things is a 'hustler' mentality and those people are the ones who fails within a year.

If you're white american it's gonna be a lot harder too. If you are hispanic you are backed up by other hispanic people, hell even if you are white but some other thing like Italian, German, whatever, you are gonna have that community to back you up. Part of having a successful business is catering to a large community of people and providing a service for them.
t. mom is Puerto Rican and she serves that community in her business, and has a steady flow of cash going because of it

google the words "lifestyle branding" to make you stand out from the other plebes.

Also hire a goon to knee cap them with a tire iron

>immediately realize there are thousands of competitors who do the same thing as you
This is only correct if you don't provide anything new to the table...
Sure, if you're thinking about joining a crowded market & you don't stand out in a significant way, I'd recommend not even starting, but if you really got something needed & not present yet, go for it.

[Anonymous No.12668233]

>>12667689
branding isnt about catering to a race or gender.
Its about catering to a lifestyle.

Only low iq shitskin monkeys fall back on thier race. Its why all the successful business men are elon musk or steve jobs tier white guys.
Also it isnt very hard for those white guys to market to low iq shitskins either.

You have to create a unique brand to stand out from the competition. And you dont target demographics. You use psychographics.
You need to make the customer think that buying your product is part of their lifestyle and that by buying it they are exercising their identity through the purchase of a commoddity .

There are basically two ways to go about running a business. Either supply an existing demand, or create a unique brand.

Like if you are going to be a capitalist scum you go to go all in. You got to learn everything. You should even read anti capitalist literature. Might find some good ideas in there

I used to work at a family business and our competitors were mostly imcompetent boomers. This is in the trades. Yes, owners pulling in 10M+ in revenues, 1M+ in profits that cannot really do any technical work besides read/send emails and print bank statements. No marketing, no financial modeling, no sales software, no accounting/working capital management (just send bank statements to accountant at the end of the year and order inventory as needed). It's a mess I tell you, the only reason these guys are in business is because they have good "people skills" and underpay their employees (lots of illegals).

white people have the best dice roll in life. You are significantly more likely to have ancestors who lived better lives than the minorities and through nepotism they already can hook you up with a decent career. Being minority puts you at a huge disadvantage because you don't have parents who can slip you into their company.

you have to make your way without looking at others companies
same for the reviews, they put fake review? then put fake review too (on your business)
reality is, you can outrace everyone of these losers if you stay serious and keep working days after days and weeks after weeks
no one just create a company and get rich 2 weeks after
its not a sprint, its a marathon
