Reading around and I notice people trying to do the same old things.

Which is fine in certain situations I suppose.

But why would you jump into a competitive market when you're just the same as everyone? You work harder and profits get competed away. Typically I would never look to start a business in a competitive market if I was undifferentiated. You're just interchangeable at that point and add nothing. Incredibly difficult to create and capture lasting value. A lot of people think they are different when they actually are not.

If you have not read Zero to One by Peter Thiel I would highly suggest it. I found it to be a good book and it has some useful nuggets of wisdom.

Figured this would help some people out.
