Over time, you'll love the fact that you know a lot about the possible risks and how to troubleshoot them before they get worse. The rudimentary guide in starting a business is always "know it before you start it, otherwise you might end it before you know it"
You're approaching enemies through competition

Facebook was not a smash hit in a lot of Asian regions until a year ago when it dominated over Friendster and MySpace by a mile because of the former's intuitive interface and planet-wide community of users and developers.
A recent report in Alexa now shows that people are spending more activity on Facebook than searching on Google. If Facebook keeps up with the demands of its users in the next three years, it will surpass Google's net worth and might even be diversifying its array of service, not only to software-based products, but also hardware as well.
One thing to know when you're running a business is that people will compete with you if you're raking in the big profits all for yourself.
