Key Topics:

The childhood phrase “even a blind squirrel finds an acorn”

What forest floors and acorns reveal about opportunity

Searching for ideal customers in a competitive market

The difference between seeing and repeating what others say

Fear-based advice vs. experience-based insight

Choosing evidence over opinion

Staying focused despite discouraging voices

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.

Suggested Reflections:

Where have you been told something is “too hard” or “too crowded”?

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?

Memorable Line (Paraphrase):

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