Most of us grow up believing that we know everything — what’s best for us, what we want to do with the rest of our lives… — only to discover, little by little, that there are billions of ways to live a life. Our experiences, preferences, and beliefs are just one combination of limitless possibilities. If this resonates with you, then you understand what it means to shift your perspective.
The shift was gradual, more like an epiphany with little effort required. We didn’t have to ‘do the work.’
On the other hand, sometimes we are forced to reckon with the fact that everyone around us seems to believe the same flawed thing. Those cases tend to take a bit more of our effort to accept that the long-touted message might be wrong.
Enter CEO and Founder of Epic Mining, which mines Bitcoin and pays out monthly to its investors, Mitchell Weijerman. We sat down with the young visionary to discuss the importance of reflecting on and altering perspectives to gain success. Weaving his personal and professional tale of pivoting across the globe as an entrepreneur, we are left with a remarkable narrative that highlights the power of adaptability.
Question Your Assumptions
In speaking with Weijerman, he comes off modest and unassuming — seemingly unaware of how his wealth, daring nature, youth, and fearless drive set him apart from many of us. He is the kind of guy who might spark a twinge of envy in those feeling stuck in life; however, his genuine, friendly, polite demeanor makes him effortlessly likable. Plus, since Epic Mining is open to investors, you can be a part of his success too.
In asking the Founder about his business’ profitability, which makes Bitcoin Mining easy, accessible and profitable for investors from all around the world, he said, “For 99% of people, it won’t be profitable. Why? Because the way that people look at Bitcoin mining is the traditional way: You buy a machine, connect it to your home electricity, and produce Bitcoin. But, most people don’t have access to cheap energy at home, or cheap machines, or contacts to get those machines.”
He’s right. Many websites scam people out of their hard-earned money, never even shipping the paid-for machines to their buyers.
“Even if you manage to get some machines, you need the technical know-how to manage them,” Weijerman said. “99% of people won’t be able to do that. But there’s another way to do it, which is the way that we are doing it: We are managing the entire process for our clients, because we can buy the machines in bulk at the lowest possible price, we have so many machines under management, and we’re always finding new energy sources to get the lowest possible electricity rates.”
According to him, that is the magic combination, giving Epic Mining the perfect setup to mine Bitcoin very profitably.
“You need to shift your perspective from trying to do it yourself at home, to outsourcing it to someone else and having them manage it for you,” Weijerman explained. “Identify and question your assumptions. What if the opposite were true? Thinking about life that way can uncover hidden biases and open up new ways of thinking.”
Seek Diverse Opinions
Weijerman didn’t roll out of bed one day and decide to be a professional Bitcoin miner. In fact, he successfully exited his prior Amazon-like enterprise in The Netherlands mere months before discovering it as a viable option. One day, chatting about investing with some friends on a terrace over beers, an acquaintance shared that he mined Bitcoin.
“He pulled up his phone and said, ‘All right, yeah, I do Bitcoin mining,’” Weijerman recalled. “So I looked at his phone, and I saw the numbers he was doing. I think he had like 50 machines or something, and they were doing great. I was inspired, and I wanted in. See, you have to approach situations with a curious mind. Ask yourself why you think the way you do, and learn about other people’s viewpoints and ways of living. If I had been too stuck in my own head that afternoon, I wouldn’t be where I am today, and I wouldn’t be able to help so many people.”
Take a Break
On the other hand, sometimes stepping away from a situation can provide necessary clarity. A brief pause can refresh your mind and offer a new vantage point for when you circle back.
That night, Weijerman went home, locked himself in his room, and opened up YouTube.
“Like a true millennial!” he said.
The curious serial entrepreneur typed in ‘how to get started with Bitcoin mining,’ leading him to various videos.
“They were all super technical guys, bragging about their homemade mining setups,” Weijerman said. “It was like they were on another planet, I couldn’t keep up with all the buzzwords they were throwing at me.”
So, he closed his laptop. When he woke up the next morning, he realized that if he was going to crack Bitcoin mining, it wasn’t going to be by watching videos and taking notes.
“If I hadn’t stepped away and slept on it, I might have kept going down that confusing rabbit hole,” he said. “Next day, I took $100k out of my bank account — the amount I was willing to lose to learn a valuable strategy that wouldn’t destroy my life if it went wrong — and I bought my first machines. Sometimes, you just need a good night’s sleep to change your mindset, so you can keep moving forward.”
It worked. With 80,000 machines serving over 450 customers around the world from three locations, Weijerman undeniably did himself a favor by shifting his perspective throughout his professional journey.
