Have you ever lost a business deal or contract to your competition around you before? There are certain jobs I have lost to others in a similar line of work as me who I know. The feeling can be painful but I usually do not let it get to me, it's business there are some you win and there are some you loose, the key is to keep growing your business and services to be able to satisfy your customers.

No, I haven't joined a competition like that. I don't want trouble and stressful competition that affects my mental health. It's good if there's a big capital because win or lose money is still there for me to multiply.

A large number of people have cheated,robbed and exploited me, because they are well connected from rich and powerful communities with relatives/officials supporting them in all frauds and lies. Most women have their husband/boyfriends supporting them in faking computer work, bank account to get government salary and it is difficult to fight 10-15 cheater couples alone.

In all the business I have go into I have never lost to a competitor because I planned ahead sighting a competitor and I always give room for my customer to tell me where to improve on

These things do happen but you need to know the reason why you lost to another person and work more on that , you also need to know what such person or company is doing differently do you can come up with a better one.

Well said, every situation we find ourselves, should be seen as a means to grow ourselves and learn so we can do better next time. There is always something to learn from our competition.

No, I never, I always won even during the bidding competition with the insurance companies. The bid was awarded to me and the insurance company I was representing congratulated me and rewarded me with cash.

It is a normal thing losing in a competition. It is always the case to have only one winner, the rest losers.
There is no one who will be happy to lose in a competition but there are times when it just have to be like that. We cannot always win so when we don’t, we should go harder

I have failed three times and I did not fail due to competitors, I failed becauase of the market condition and my own inefficiency.

No, I don't own a business, but it happens in life too. Sometimes you lose to your competitor, but that's fine because in a race, one has to win.
