You just failed at business. The person just told you exactly what they wanted, and you told them no.

In this case, the business owner seems to think they do not want to or cannot compete in the “white socks” market. There’s nothing wrong with that.

It’s better to focus on one’s strengths.

Did Steve Jobs fail at business when he said “no” to people wanting to buy Newtons?
