Expertise Over Trends

• Don't chase every new trend
• Double down on existing expertise
• Warren Buffett example:
  • Avoided tech companies until recently
  • Stuck to known areas for wealth building
  • Only invested in Apple later with expert team support

• Track and analyze mistakes
• Make adjustments to avoid repeating failures
• Use failures as lessons to refine success path
