If you truly don't have competition, then zoom out until you can define some. Competition can be as simple as the reliance on the status quo, Microsoft (since at some point Microsoft will compete with everyone for everything), or researchers in universities.

Guy Kawasaki
The hardest thing about getting started, is getting started.
Guy Kawasaki
The two most important things about people on a revolutionary team are their ability and passion. Their educational level or work experience is meaningless--most of the engineers who did ground-breaking work of the Macintosh design didn't even graduate from college.
Guy Kawasaki
I don't need the rush to be happy. I'd be perfectly happy without the attention and action.
Guy Kawasaki
Writing is therapeutic. It helps you cope with issues that seem gargantuan at the time. The process of expressing yourself about a problem, editing your thoughts, and writing some more can help you control issues that you face.
Guy Kawasaki
I'm a lousy predictor of the future.
Guy Kawasaki
Happiness is temporary and fleeting. ... Joy is the right goal.
Guy Kawasaki
The A-listers and the A+ listers, are reporting the news, they're not making it.
