The starting point of wealth is rarely a large capital. Usually, it's that moment when you suddenly realize—how to view the current predicament.
Ordinary people often say there are no opportunities or resources. But what really gets stuck is the mindset. Relying on a single channel and sticking to outdated methods, when the market changes, you're caught off guard. What about those who dare to change their perspective? They turn the dilemma around and it becomes an opportunity.
Think about scenarios where resources seem limited. A piece of forest land is unsellable—continue to lose money, or reconsider other possibilities for this land? Someone discovers the advantages of shade and ecological integrity, and thus creates a new business model—revitalizing resources, achieving both economic and ecological benefits. This is not coincidence; it’s a true reflection of "when in hardship, change; when changed, succeed."
The second key is leverage thinking. Simply put, don’t get trapped by the logic of "using time to exchange for money."
Most people’s most valuable assets are not money, but time, skills, and accumulated knowledge—intangible assets. How to make good use of them? Let effort generate multiple returns. A content creator, in the early days, relies on taking orders, quickly hitting a revenue ceiling. By shifting to sharing traffic and results with partners, a single piece of content can create value for multiple parties. The result? Income doubles.
All these point to the same principle: cognition determines the opportunities you can see. If you can’t see them, even if resources are right in front of you, it’s useless. But once you change your perspective on the problem, the original bottleneck can become a breakthrough.

That's right, but I think most people actually know they need to change their mindset; the real problem is that it can't really be changed. Mindset isn't something that's easily flipped.

That's right, but I think most people are not really facing a mindset issue; it's a lack of execution ability and risk tolerance. It's easy to want to change, but actually doing it is the real challenge.

That's a good point, but I think this set of theories is especially applicable in the crypto space. Look at validation node operations—initial investments seem low, but the key is to understand the mechanism, grasp the consensus efficiency, and calculate the long-term staking yield curve. Most people get stuck on the idea of "time for money," passively maintaining nodes every day, unaware that optimizing node stability to enhance network reliability contribution can actually reduce risk and increase returns—variable thinking determines the ceiling.

Honestly, ideas are really worth much more than principal value.
Cognitive upgrade = direct iteration, this is what I’ve always believed.
Going solo will definitely get you overwhelmed; leverage thinking is the way out.
What you said is correct, but the key is to dare to try.
What seems like a deadlock is actually an opportunity to redefine; it all depends on whether you want to turn around.

That's right, it's really just a matter of mindset. I used to be someone who relied on a single source of income, and I got hit pretty hard... Now I'm learning to leverage and reuse knowledge, and it's truly different.
