Another injurious effect stemming from the dynamic duo of bad advice is opportunity compression. Opportunity compression limits your exposure to new opportunities in alternative industries that are ripe for new value offerings.

If those industries represent only .00002 percent of GDP, you limit yourself to that small pool of opportunity. Don’t microscope yourself into a puddle when you should be surveying the ocean.
