Thank you, it is an excellent post. Your thoughts are very similar to the ‘’Atmamun‘’ philosophy. You wrote about Naval Ravikant, and he has a mentor, whose name is Kapil Gupta. You can find his book about ‘’Atmamun'' on Amazon.

I like your idea of a directional mindset when you aren't yet clear what you want to focus on. Some people have very clear and specific goals. For example, students who attend Embry Riddle Aeronautical University are clear about wanting to be pilots. Their milestones march them, step by step, toward their goal.

If the goal is more of a pipedream, then creating opportunities that open doors to explore makes a lot of sense. It sounds like that's what you have been doing. You have, however, stayed somewhat in your 'lane' - technology. And that makes sense. You have created milestones within that lane that have led you to NFT, which opened the door to writing, and subsequently to your Substack, which is reaping dividends.

Your initial goal of escaping the 9-5 may be in sight, perhaps just through a different door than you originally imagined. I'm rooting for you.
