Understanding your Circle of Competence: How Warren Buffett Avoids Problems - Farnam Street
Highlights & Notes
Understanding your circle of competence helps you avoid problems, identify opportunities for improvement, and learn from others.
The concept of the Circle of Competence has been used over the years by Warren Buffett as a way to focus investors on only operating in areas they knew best.
The size of that circle is not very important; knowing its boundaries, however, is vital.
Circle of Competence is simple: Each of us, through experience or study, has built up useful knowledge on certain areas of the world.
“I’m no genius. I’m smart in spots—but I stay around those spots.”
— Tom Watson Sr., Founder of IBM
You have to figure out what your own aptitudes are. If you play games where other people have the aptitudes and you don’t, you’re going to lose. And that’s as close to certain as any prediction that you can make. You have to figure out where you’ve got an edge. And you’ve got to play within your own circle of competence.
If you want to improve your odds of success in life and business, then define the perimeter of your circle of competence, and operate inside.
