"If you have a land that sprouts whatever is planted, you must manage it so weeds do not grow." While Oktojiryeong boasts blessed receptivity, when its flow turns cloudy, it can cause the side effect of starting too many things without finishing them or accepting others' proposals without filters, leading to scams. Here are three key solutions to govern this fertile energy.
1️⃣ Regular Weeding of 'Selection and Concentration': Since you absorb whatever you learn, everything looks interesting and you easily end up starting too many projects. Enforce a weeding routine to clear out side projects or relationships except for the 'top 3 core projects' you will carry to the end.
2️⃣ Equip a Quality Filter for Seeds (Ideas): Having a weak filter for people and information makes it easy to lease your fertile soil (capital, time) to superficial proposals. Never accept collaboration or investment emotionally; only pour your energy in after a '3-step data validation (profitability, risk, feasibility)'.
3️⃣ Visualize and Early-Harvest Outputs: You tend to rot seeds too long in the ground chasing perfection during the planning phase. Rather than launching a 100% perfect platform all at once, plant an MVP (Minimum Viable Product) quickly and refine it through user feedback in an Agile manner.
