My First Million
The best business ideas come from noticing what's working and doing it better, faster, or for a different audience.
“they didn't just ask what should I do next as a YouTuber they were like what can I do next using this audience”
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
Inventory your transferable assets before making career decisions
Consider all possible applications of assets across industries
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”
