Don't Get Harvested by Trends

I've seen too many people chase trends and end up as bagholders these past two years. When short videos were hot, they jumped in. When the metaverse was trending, they went all-in. When AI became the rage, they went all-in on AI. And what happened? Nothing got done.

The people who actually made money all dug deep into one field. Because only by going deep can you build moats and continue eating well in the next cycle.

And here's something especially important: don't touch projects that require recruiting people. If you make money, it's yours, but if you lose, you lose friends. Your reputation is worth far more than money.

Of course, you should still experience new things when they come out, otherwise your knowledge will fall behind. But experiencing is one thing—don't go all-in.
