I have to come clean.
Last year, I made one of my WORST financial decisions ever that cost me $1.2M.
If I could go back in time and undo just one thing from the past year, it would probably be this.
Read this so you don't f*ck up and repeat my mistake...
In May 2025, I was approached to invest in the Anthropic round at $67.5b, and I "declined" it.
The minimum sizing was $100k (which would be worth $1.2M now).
The part where I f*cked up:
I didn't even explicitly decline it; it just got lost in my DMs (from a reputable source), and that person even followed up twice.
That blind spot is completely on me, and it is a very valuable lesson.
Lack of organisation and system faults are silent killers - and you won't realise until something already goes wrong or is missed.
Not having proper SOPs and systems is a great way to miss out on potential opportunities (not just in investing but in life in general).
Thankfully, I've fixed this system fault with the help of AI (personal OS with AI + better SOPs for checking DMs).
Organisation & system-building is one area where AI is extremely good and can yield extremely high ROI if executed correctly.
My advice and the TL;DR: fix your faulty systems now and get your organisation in check before something goes wrong or an opportunity is missed - leverage AI to help you in this department; it's one of the things AI is best at right now.
If I had taken my own advice here, I could have made millions - don't repeat my mistake!
