Focus Is Key

Even though we think that we know it, it doesn't hurt if one is reminded that focus is the key to success.

I couldn't help but share this timely blog post from one of the blogs that I follow.

Entrepreneurs are known as crazy people running around with ADD. They jump from one idea to the next. They cannot pay attention to details. They are hyperactive and get distracted easily. They find it hard to concentrate. As with most stereotypes, there are elements of truth to this perception.

However, I've known few entrepreneurs who end up successful and are truly unable to concentrate on one idea. Unless you're lucky, it takes years and not quarters to build a valuable company. And because it takes an effort of endurance, there is very little room for distractions or significant side project. Not if you plan on building a serious company that stands a chance of being bigger than you are.

Jumping from one business idea to another is a sure recipe for failure.

That means I will have to delay the second business that I had in mind until I have really established the first one.
