What It Means

Successful people think about leveraging existing assets across industries rather than staying within current field constraints

Why It Matters

This thinking pattern enables career reinvention and non-obvious opportunities that competitors miss

When It's True

When you have built transferable assets (audience, reputation, skills, network) and face growth constraints in current field

When It's Risky

When you haven't built significant assets yet or when your current field still offers substantial upside

How to Apply

1

Inventory your transferable assets before making career decisions

2

Consider all possible applications of assets across industries

3

Choose paths based on asset utilization rather than industry convention

Example Scenario

Successful podcast host considers launching products, consulting, or live events rather than just making more podcast episodes
