IMO there are two types of failure; poor planning or poor execution. If you focus on yourself you should be ok. If you don't plan or don't execute you will fail.
These types of people that are "stealing" your jobs are everywhere, especially in an easy entry type business. They will fizzle out and unfortunately when they do another one will take their place. If you want to grow; don't worry about the types of jobs people like them can get. You typically will want better or bigger jobs than they could ever handle. You will never " out cheap them" don't ever get into a price battle with someone like that because price based modos typically will fail in the service industry unless you have a ton of money backing you.
Would you rather do 1 $500 job or 5 $100 jobs?
