AoM - When to explore, when to exploit

The Art of Maneuver

Mar 23 2021 • 4 mins

Recognize when you should be in the Exploration stage and when you should be in the Exploitation stage. You must go through an exploration stage first, where your knowledge and intuition is built up. But then you must transition to an exploitation stage where you simply trust your intuition and act on the wisdom. Don’t be sucked into exploration any more.  Know what is worth exploiting and what efforts simply don’t produce much opportunity. It is a natural progression. It’s like the difference in the “sewing” season and the “reaping” season. Then you learn what is worthy of your time and how to choose fertile soil for “sewing” next season.
