Competition is not from the guy down the street but from how the guy down the street does business i.e. the "business model". Want to make sure you are providing value? Look at your business model and create a blueprint for delivering service. Same applies whether you are a solo-entrepreneur or a large corporation - value comes from solving a problem for a customer who is motivated to resolve their problem/challenge.

One person can certainly bring value to the table. I also agree on the need for finding the value proposition. I think if you can't really differentiate or bring a new value proposition, you shouldn't do it. Since the videos are still fresh in my mind, I think Richard Branson of Virgin nails it when <a href="http://tinyurl.com/6j9sm3" rel="nofollow">he said the same thing</a>.
