Connection Trap: Derivation differs from the original. Let’s say you’ve uncovered the secrets to investing in stocks and made a fortune. The secret you hold is valuable, but if you publish a book about those secrets and spend time giving lectures and counseling to teach others, it becomes difficult to concentrate on your main job—investing in stocks. Investments, publications, lectures, and consultations all revolve around the theme of “stocks” and are linked by a single story; however, each has its own distinct features. Expanding your work isn’t easy. Adding another item to a restaurant menu creates additional problems. We think that time is limited, but often we fail to use it wisely.

Google founder Sergey Brin, one day asked a great question. “What will happen if we give this service for free?” The result was, as we know well, “MONOPOLY”. Google gives employees 100,000 meals a day for free. This is because Google found that providing free meals is more profitable for the company. Initially, a payment system was introduced in the cafeteria. Soon, however, Google changed its mind when it saw the people waiting in line. Google learned the “opportunity cost”. Google's technology is excellent, but they realize it is not about making money. Fate changed when they discovered that the Business Model for that technology made money. - Joseph’s “just my thoughts”
