Notable Takeaways:
Opportunity is easier to find when you look for yourself.
Many warnings come from fear, not reality.
Markets look crowded until you actually engage them.
Abundance feels like luck to people who never searched.
The real obstacle is listening to the wrong voices.

What would change if you tested that belief yourself?
Whose advice is based on fear instead of experience?
What “acorns” might already be around you?

“The work isn’t finding the acorns — it’s stopping yourself from believing they aren’t there.”
