“One of the main benefits of growing your businesss in an oversaturated market is “the market gap” that no one has explored yet”
Oversaturated- to provide with more than sufficient amount of a substance; To unite with the greatest possible amount of another substance.
One of the most common roadblocks said to hinder millennials from breaking into their desired profession is the “oversaturated market” claim— the idea that there are too many people in a particular field and because of that, it will be nearly impossible to produce a successful outcome.
MY FAITH FORCES ME TO DISAGREE.
I believe that conforming to the idea of an oversaturated market and allowing that to intimidate you is indicating that you believe that the competition is so great and at capacity that nothing you were blessed/gifted with is influential enough to puncture that profession, successfully—that your raw materials are not sufficient enough to sustain or to solidify your position in that market. It shows lack of faith in God and in His ability to place you in an exclusive position to shift the dynamic of that industry.
WHEN YOU ARE CHOSEN BY GOD,
your ONLY competition is your “yesterday’s you.”
Yes, there are several people who are in the same field as you, who, for years, have done what you desire to do, and have not only mastered it, but may be more “qualified” than you, but so what?!? I serve a supernatural God, who doesn’t follow the rules! When the favor of God is over your life, it’s not about how many people are in that same category because He is ambidextrous and omnipresent—He can work on me and you, at the exact same time. Believing that the oversaturated market applies to you limits what you believe that He can do in your life. Never put God in a box. Never conform to the idea that He can only bless one person, in one particular field, to be the best at it.
I’M WHAT’S MISSING.
Consider this scenario when someone tells you that your area of interest is overcrowded:
You are participating in a pie baking competition, and you team with a group of people, each responsible for bringing an ingredient to help bake the pie. You are responsible for bringing the flour, someone else is responsible for bringing the butter, eggs, and so on.
Familiarize yourself with the other ingredients.
Don’t be afraid of collaboration with people hoping to accomplish the same goal, because every individual will function at their own capacity. It will always be beneficial to build with people who are skilled in different areas than you, and better at it than you—it creates a more solid foundation, well roundedness. If everyone came to the pie competition and brought flour, the greater goal will never be met.
DON’T FORFEIT!
Your focus is to remember your assignment and show up, confident in knowing that what you have brought to the table is necessary. The market is depending on you to do your part. You cannot arrive at the pie competition, look at the person beside you who brought the eggs , and feel insignificant. Nor should you be intimidated by the cost of the butter your teammate brought because your quality of flour is equally as important in this process as theirs. Remember that you are the missing ingredient if you do not submit yourself.
