Here are my key takeaways: 1. Niching down isn't a scarcity mindset; it's where opportunities thrive. A past tweet by Nicolas highlighted this, and the podcast echoed it by emphasizing the value of creators sharing niche experiences, even within highly specialized niches, like building an in-person studio, which could have greatly benefited both hosts. 2. In the pursuit of your goals, it's essential to occasionally pause, reflect on your journey, and appreciate how far you've come. Take a moment to enjoy the scenery at your 'base camp,' practice gratitude for your progress, and use this reflection as motivation to gear up for the next climb. Each step of the journey builds the foundation for reaching new heights. 3. Just as it takes the most force to initially move a boulder, the first investment in a project or venture often seems expensive and challenging eg paid courses, coaching etc. However, over time, the value of these initial investments becomes apparent, and they continue to benefit you in the long term.
Raising the Bar with Every Investment 1. Taking Risks is Personal Growth: Making investments that seem out of reach at first can act as catalysts for growth. It wasn't just about securing a physical location; it was a powerful statement of self-belief. The investment was uncomfortable, yet it served as a commitment to rise to the occasion and grow into the space they had envisioned, thereby unlocking potentials they might not have explored otherwise. 2. Balancing Creativity and Monotony is Key: It is a complex dance of maintaining and growing a business. While it might be tempting to constantly chase the thrill of creating something new, Dickie and Cole learned the value of pausing, maintaining, and allowing their previous creations to truly flourish. 3. The Art of Starting Small: As they navigated through the journey of building their studio, the Dickie and Cole embraced the art of starting small and learning along the way. This approach allowed them to understand the cost, limitations, and potentials of their space, providing valuable insights that would inform their future decisions and expansions.

Great episode, guys!
Cole, that lesson from your agency (focusing on building your personal funds vs pouring into business) was gold.
