- 🎠The Law of Opposites
It’s no secret that 85% of the population does stupid things.
Blindly trusting the government with everything they have, having terrible financial lives, and overall, just making dumb decisions.
But did you know you could leverage this as a tactical advantage?
Let’s waste no time and immediately enter discovery.
🎠The Law of Opposites
The Law of Opposites states the following: If everyone does X, do Y.
If everyone sells their crypto out of panic, buy it
If everyone does remote work, open a co-working space.
If everyone consumes content, create it
The 1850s California gold rush is the perfect embodiment of this principle at work! A store was grossing $202,239/day (in today’s money) by selling equipment to everyone hoping to get rich digging for gold.
If everyone digs for gold, sell them equipment.
Another great example is the whole C-19 situation: If masks become mandatory, you supply them. The mask-manufacturing industry has never done so well in its entire lifetime!
Knowing this concept can drastically help you in business. It could help you get started, it could help you scale.
…And it could help you see through a lot of BS.
Just know that if the whole world is talking about Bitcoin hitting $100K, it’s probably the right time to sell your inventory because at this point, every naïve Get Rich Easy hustler wants to hop on the bandwagon and “invest some” himself.
But on the other hand, hypothetically, if everyone’s panicking about Bitcoin hitting an all-time low, or the currency plummeting—It’s the perfect time to get your hands on as many units as you can.
My point: Do the exact opposite of what the masses are doing.
Since opening my eyes to how the world truly works, I’ve been able to see “opportunities” for what they truly are.
When someone tells me to get into NFTs because "everyone does it,” I know it’s too late and the ones getting in now will be disappointed in the weeks to come.
Look at the incoming hype trains and analyse how you can capitalise on them.

MJ DeMarco
If you blindly follow the crowd, you’ll get what the crowd gets—mediocrity. Wealth is not found in following the masses; it is found in doing what the masses will not do.
Book: Millionaire Fastlane
The most successful entrepreneurs don’t chase trends—they anticipate them.
Move against the herd, run head-first into the storm, just do what’s against human nature and capitalize on the overlooked opportunities.
🌟 Today’s Epiphany
When everyone jumps on an “opportunity,” it’s probably too late to get in and you’re better off doing the exact opposite of what everyone is doing.
