13.4 — Sin #3: Niching by Industry
People say:
- “I help people in real estate.”
- “I help people in hospitality.”
- “I help people in fitness.”
- “I help people in tech.”
Industries aren’t niches — they’re ecosystems full of microcultures.
“Fitness” includes:
- CrossFit
- HYROX
- bodybuilding
- powerlifting
- F45
- Pilates
- running clubs
All different identities, different languages, different worlds.
“Tech” includes:
- backend engineers
- frontend devs
- data scientists
- UX designers
- DevOps
- AI researchers
These people do NOT share the same reality.
Industry = too broad.
World = specific.
If your niche is industry-sized, the brain can’t recognise itself.
