Episode notes
Don't Rely On Day Trading As A Business
- Treat day trading as high-risk and unsellable because profits depend on your active skill and many people lose money.
- If you can consistently beat the market, consider scaling into a fund rather than trading alone.
Don't Build A VA Agency—Build AI Instead
- Skip building a virtual assistant agency unless you want low margins and finicky clients; AI will replace many tasks.
- If you do it, consider moving into AI automation to capture higher margins and defensibility.
