I learned about this idea from Warren Buffet.
He was asked why he didn't invest in companies like Microsoft during the dot-com boom in the 1990s.
He said: "Know your circle of competence and stick within it. The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital."
Warren Buffet explains that the circle of competence represents the areas or industries where you possess a deep understanding, knowledge, and expertise.
It's like having your own special zone of expertise, where you feel confident in your judgment and decision-making.
This circle may not necessarily be huge, and that's perfectly fine.
What truly matters is knowing the boundaries of that circle,
recognizing what you can't do is just as important as knowing what you can do.
He says taking risks is okay, but he emphasizes doing so intelligently within the bounds of what you truly understand.
That way, you make better choices and have a higher chance of achieving success.
So, let's discover what it means for you...
"Where is my circle of competence? Where is my danger zone?"
