The original was intended as a compliment
Haha yeah I was actually planning to put the second line at the end of the post but I forgot. Which is why I love that quote, it’s so true.
Someone with a PhD is able to get to that level because of the time they spent on. I think I wasn’t clear in the post but it is specifically talking about career-wise not just interests. Having a lot of interests is generally good.
Hermes got to this point because they were able to dedicate their time and effort on one thing: their brand. If Hermes randomly stops creating whatever leather and luxury right now and the owner/founder (or whoever highest up lol) decides to abandon the project and deletes the whole brand, and decides to be a streamer or anything completely unrelated without carrying the name of the brand it wouldn’t sound nice would it? Spent years for the brand to grow where it is now only to move on to another thing basically from scratch.
That’s what I meant in the post and I probably wasn’t clear enough lol but yeah. I mean if I got to Hermes level right now any financial things wouldn’t be a problem anymore and am free to do whatever I want.
But to someone in the same boat as me who has nothing and got 3 things to do AT THE SAME TIME, how would the brand grow? Completely in different fields with each different social media accounts, communities, and identities and each account needs engagement and dedication and mental effort. It’s not the same as the Hermes situation at all since what they did was to level up for the same brand but yeah that’s what I meant.
Or probably the best way to describe it is like having 3 new businesses at the same time with one employee for all three.
Maybe a better thing to do is merge all businesses into one and just offer different products under one brand but I don’t know if that would work lol
