Summary

  • I lost half a million dollars in crypto within a few weeks, starting with Bitcoin at $60,000.
  • When everyone thinks something is a great idea, it's usually a bad one. The opportunity often closes by the time you’re certain.
  • Whenever you feel FOMO (fear of missing out), pause and think twice before diving in.
  • Warren Buffett and Charlie Munger talk about staying within your sphere of competence. For me, that's business.
  • Stepping outside my core areas, like real estate and crypto, often leads to losing money.
  • Stick to what you know and excel at; other people who specialize in those areas can handle them better.

How To Take Action

I would suggest implementing these lessons to help you avoid costly mistakes and achieve success. Here are the steps you can take:

  1. Pause When Feeling FOMO:
    Whenever you feel the fear of missing out, take a moment to pause. If everyone thinks it’s a great idea, it might be too late. This pause can save you a lot of money and stress.

  2. Stick to What You Know:
    Focus on your core strengths. If you excel in business, stay there. Venturing into new areas like crypto or real estate without deep knowledge can lead to losses. Think about what you are already good at and stay within that sphere.

  3. Seek Experts in Other Areas:
    For areas outside your expertise, rely on the experts. Don’t try to do everything yourself. Let the people who have spent time mastering their field handle those investments or tasks.

  4. Keep Learning and Developing Skills:
    Continue educating yourself within your sphere. If you’re a small business owner, keep learning about business strategies. This helps you stay competitive without needing to dive into unfamiliar territories.

  5. Low-Cost Strategies:
    Start with low-cost tasks that can provide high value. For instance, if you’re an entrepreneur, focus on improving customer satisfaction or streamlining operations. These actions don’t require huge investments but can yield significant returns.

  6. Reflect on Mistakes:
    Take time to reflect on past mistakes. Understanding what went wrong in previous ventures can help you avoid similar pitfalls in the future.

By implementing these strategies, you can avoid common mistakes and build a more successful, focused path forward.
