It's challenging to realize that it's not about the tech but rather the different perspective I can bring which adds value to all who share that same space. Now, how do I convince myself of that?
I'm working to overcome my fear of innovating in a space where people already are. I always get stuck in the "Well, people are already doing that and there's no room for one more so I better not start."
