Suggested Improvements — Week 10: The Niche Trap
Questions for Personalization
- Which identity are you defending that costs more than it earns?
- Where did you choose a lane because someone told you to?
- What project did you kill because it did not fit the category?
- Which of your intersections is the most profitable secret?
- What would you do if the category you are known for disappeared tomorrow?
Suggested Improvements
- Add a domain mosaic exercise: map your last ten projects not by type but by energy source.
- Include a section on “the person you pretend to be for money”—name it and compare it to the person in the archive.
- Expand the log with a check for one intersection prototype that cannot be monetized.
San Michele Reference
“To become a good dog-doctor it is necessary to love dogs, but it is also necessary to understand them—the same as with us… It is easier to understand a dog than a man.”
Adicheo Reference
The Sacred Fool Identity as a cognitive error—taking yourself seriously is the fastest way to stop learning. The niche is the mask.
