00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:01,440
Welcome to today's episode.

2
00:00:01,960 --> 00:00:05,800
Let's dive right into the concept of leveraging limitation as a strategic

3
00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:09,940
advantage, a perspective that has been pivotal in my financial success.

4
00:00:10,740 --> 00:00:12,420
Constraints are not impediments.

5
00:00:12,520 --> 00:00:14,420
They are catalysts for innovation and focus.

6
00:00:15,520 --> 00:00:17,160
During my journey, I imposed artificial constraints on my ventures, like

7
00:00:17,160 --> 00:00:22,660
limiting startup capital or setting ambitious deadlines.

8
00:00:23,340 --> 00:00:24,799
It's not about massagecism.

9
00:00:25,160 --> 00:00:29,440
It's about clarity when you have less, you prioritize ruthlessly

10
00:00:29,480 --> 00:00:31,100
and improvise more creatively.

11
00:00:31,580 --> 00:00:35,439
Conventional advice suggests to diversify, yet I chose a different path.

12
00:00:36,119 --> 00:00:38,740
Specialization was the keystone of my approach.

13
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:42,299
The temptation to cast a wide net is strong, but mastery in a

14
00:00:42,299 --> 00:00:43,919
niche, grants a competitive moat.

15
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:45,720
I honed in on one field.

16
00:00:46,060 --> 00:00:48,939
Mastered it and then monetized my expertise.

17
00:00:49,400 --> 00:00:53,060
The narrower your focus, the deeper your understanding grows and

18
00:00:53,060 --> 00:00:55,060
depth is where true value lies.

19
00:00:55,520 --> 00:00:59,419
A well-known saying goes Jack of all trades, master of none, but few

20
00:00:59,419 --> 00:01:02,700
remember the rest, but oftentimes better than master of one.

21
00:01:03,799 --> 00:01:06,919
I say, be the master of one until the one becomes lucrative.

22
00:01:07,620 --> 00:01:08,980
Another unpopular belief.

23
00:01:09,220 --> 00:01:10,820
I scaled businesses slowly.

24
00:01:11,400 --> 00:01:14,180
The startup world idolizes rapid growth, but I found

25
00:01:14,180 --> 00:01:15,860
measured steps more sustainable.

26
00:01:16,260 --> 00:01:19,339
While my peers sprinted I paste refining my product and

27
00:01:19,339 --> 00:01:21,080
understanding my customers deeply.

28
00:01:21,680 --> 00:01:25,139
This slow growth built a resilient foundation, which meant I could

29
00:01:25,139 --> 00:01:26,199
weather storms that others.

30
00:01:27,940 --> 00:01:29,279
In the hair and tortoise tail.

31
00:01:29,360 --> 00:01:32,180
Remember the tortoise one on hiring.

32
00:01:32,239 --> 00:01:34,800
I never sought the best by conventional standards.

33
00:01:35,160 --> 00:01:38,599
I looked for the obsessed passion Trump's pedigree in my book.

34
00:01:39,120 --> 00:01:42,239
The person captivated by the problem at hand will outperform the Ivy

35
00:01:42,239 --> 00:01:45,480
league graduate hire for fit and train for skill.

36
00:01:46,059 --> 00:01:47,800
Now let's talk about personal habits.

37
00:01:48,639 --> 00:01:52,160
I limit decision-making in irrelevant areas each day.

38
00:01:52,820 --> 00:01:55,379
I wear similar clothes and eat similar meals.

39
00:01:55,839 --> 00:01:59,279
It frees cognitive resources for crucial business decisions.

40
00:01:59,800 --> 00:02:02,959
It might sound trivial, but decision fatigue is real.

41
00:02:03,519 --> 00:02:05,800
And protecting your mental bandwidth is paramount.

42
00:02:06,379 --> 00:02:07,459
In finance too.

43
00:02:07,559 --> 00:02:08,679
I go against the grain.

44
00:02:09,160 --> 00:02:13,300
I don't touch trends like cryptocurrencies or NFTs, not because they don't hold

45
00:02:13,300 --> 00:02:15,399
promise, but the noise is deafening.

46
00:02:16,100 --> 00:02:19,720
I invest where I understand the value proposition, in assets with

47
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,839
inherent and understandable value.

48
00:02:21,960 --> 00:02:26,160
The old school might seem outmoded, but there's wisdom in stability.

49
00:02:26,880 --> 00:02:31,100
In closing, remember that the entrepreneurial path is not one size fits

50
00:02:31,100 --> 00:02:36,339
all. Question the status quo, not for the sake of being contrary, but with the

51
00:02:36,339 --> 00:02:39,880
intent to find what aligns with your unique vision and capability.

52
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:44,100
Apply your resources where they can be leveraged best, even if it means

53
00:02:44,100 --> 00:02:45,660
going against popular trends.

54
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:48,119
