If you have an inquiring mind
You can turn any topic, situation, or journey into something worth paying attention to
It doesn’t matter how boring, unnoticed, or unpopular the subject is.
You don’t need a trending niche.
You just need to notice
You can create stories out of anything with an inquiring mind
Because it picks up what others miss
You notice things that other cant but would love to be told about
That’s how you make your name in anything:
By noticing what no one else is paying attention to.
Curiosity lets you apply your view to anything.
And once you form a clear opinion, convexity begins
People react to them
Opinions are anchor which people can use to stand for or against you
Thus your mind can turn anything into something interesting for yourself and others as long as you are inquiring
So as long as you’re inquiring,
you’ll keep finding things worth sharing.
And the world will keep giving you stories to tell.
It’s not just creative.
It’s valuable
It is a literal money maker
Any niche is monetizable these days with an audience
And of course, that audience will be built by whatever the inquiring mind encounters.
The premise I’m going for is that
If you have an inquiring mind,
You will notice things that others don’t
And the act of noticing creates stories.
You go off on tangents.
You explore dead ends.
You chase something unexpected.
You circle back.
You shift directions.
It creates a whole epistemic journey.
And that can be a story
That epistemic journey can include you having to interact with the physical world or talking with people.
It is brewing to the brim to create stories
And the more you notice,
the more stories you end up with.
Here’s the interesting part:
If you’re noticing something about a topic that nobody else cares about—
or you’re noticing something new in something boring—
that means your brain stayed with the thought.
That’s proof it was interesting.
If it wasn’t, your mind would’ve dropped it.
But it didn’t.
It ran with it.
That’s your proof of concept.
Even if the subject is unpopular,
your idea is strong.
And strong ideas in weak markets?
That’s low competition with high upside.
The thought itself is the signal.
It sustained a chain of reasoning.
It grew.
That means there’s something there.
Because if that were not the case
Your brain would have stopped way earlier
Instead it nurtured it into a long chain of thought
Treat your longest thought chains as intellectual capital.
What sustains them is worth investing in.
If it captured you
It will capture millions
And that’s the advantage of an inquiring mind.
