Don't niche down.
Everyone screams "specialize or die." But early on, being a generalist is smarter.
Say yes to random projects for 6 months. You'll discover:
What you actually enjoy
What pays unexpectedly well
What problem you love solving
Then niche with real data—not guesswork.
Generalize to find your edge. Specialize to scale it.
