Every goldmine looks like empty land before it’s discovered
This is the 372nd consecutive post on MrEmogical Notes. If you’ve been following this series and are finding value from this blog/ newsletter, please consider sharing this post with one person who you feel needs to read this for their betterment.
Introduction
Business success is often about spotting opportunities before everyone else does.
One of the fastest (but riskiest) ways to get there is what I call a “risky cheat code.”
It’s simple
Invest your time, energy, and effort in the bleeding edge of new technology, systems, or processes long before the rest of the world catches on.
Why this works
Very few people actually put in the effort to study and adopt these new-age tools in the right way.
That means the competition is low, the opportunities are high, and if you crack it, you can build an empire.
But here’s the truth: it’s not without risk.
The risk factor
Not every “new technology” stands the test of time.
For example:
- NFTs and cryptocurrencies created massive hype, but most failed to deliver.
- On the other hand, Bitcoin and Ethereum still managed to succeed.
- Some technologies take years to find their real use-case.
So yes. This strategy may take a few tries before you find your pot of gold.
The Cheat Code in Action
Imagine if you had invested early in:
- Artificial Intelligence (AI) – now transforming entire industries.
- Blockchain – shaping finance, logistics, and contracts.
- Augmented Reality (AR) & Virtual Reality (VR) – redefining entertainment, education, and shopping.
These technologies were virtually unknown just 5–10 years ago. But today, the pioneers are reaping massive rewards.
The goldmine strategy
Here’s how to use this cheat code smartly:
01 - Pick an emerging field in your industry.
02 - Invest your learning time and become an expert before the market catches up.
03 - Experiment fast, expect failures, but learn from them.
04 - Double down when you see traction.
You don’t need 10 wins.
You just need one breakthrough—and that can change your entire career or business.
Food for thought
Yes, this path is risky.
But remember: every goldmine was once just a piece of land people ignored.
Find your goldmine. The sooner you start, the bigger your rewards could be.
