      a better way of phrasing it could be "wealth is started by specialisation but grows by diversification".

      Great takeaway, this principle applies to investing too
      Focus, then diversify after a certain point

    Specialise (necessary) early, so you become a generalist (enjoyable) later.

      Pay, this is tearing at me a bit. I’m about to launch a Crowdfunding campaign to enter a really competitive market and I have been thinking of leaning into the audacity of “just coming out of the blocks hard”, getting people psyched on being pat’s of the 1st percent of something huge.
      Maybe even highlighting the fact that 99% of people do it the sensible way, we want to be the radical 1%.
      Thoughts??

      @luistrejo7249 4 года назад

      I am specializing like a consulting engineer, focus on adding value in 2-3 types of activities, with a great team of professionals in their fields. When we will grow and stabilize to a certain level, adding more value proposals to new clients and contracting more employees/partners I think is the rational path for prosperity.

  • @kurts3779
    @kurts3779 4 года назад

    This video is geared for businesses. For most employees it may make more sense to specialize. Most entrepreneurs usually have to wear many hats. I've been both but I remember when I was an employee I was never one to say that it's not my department. My mentor and former boss, a very wealthy man, allowed me to work in all departments and that was set me off to starting my own business. Too many employees, especially Engineers, are notorious for saying things such as "that's not my department". Perhaps Pat can make a video from moving from a specialized employee to entrepreneur.
