Breaking a "no-compete" provision of a contract will subject the person breaking it to a lawsuit for damages under both a breach of contract action and the tort of interference with business opportunity action. Those damages would be reimbursement to the other party for all income it lost because of the violation of the no compete clause. Many no-compete contract provisions will also state other types of damages that could be recovered, such as forfeiting all income earned and paying attorneys' fees. There might also be punitive damages. Punitive damages are not a usual remedy for breach of contract cases, but they are a remedy for intentional torts as interference with a business opportunity most likely is.
