Here’s the Biggest Mistake You’re Going to Make…

by Neil Patel on January 26, 2010

big mistake

Everyday, I am constantly seeing entrepreneurs make one big mistake. It isn’t that you spend too much money or that you’re stuck in a bubble and refuse to get out of your comfort zone. It’s that you can’t focus all of your energy on one business!

I don’t want to hear bullshit excuses coming out of your mouth. Your new business doesn’t tie in with your existing one! You can’t try out a few business ideas before you pick the best option!

If you don’t focus on one business you’re bound to fail. Hypothetically, even if all of your ideas are revolutionary and they are bound to do well in this world, you’ll make them crash and burn. Why?

That’s right, although the year just started, I can confidently say that you have already failed. Now it doesn’t mean you can’t change this, but you are going to have to make some drastic changes. [click to continue…]

bad boss lazy

My business partner and I have been working together for about 8 years now and since then we’ve both learned a lot about business. When things start to go well you’ll start to feel like you know everything. But the harsh reality is, you don’t.

Just the other day my business partner and I were talking on the phone and we were trying to figure out all of the small things that the company could do to increase revenue and profit.

Funny enough, the majority of the ideas I came up with required our employees to put in some time. The problem with this is that our employees are already busy, which means they won’t be able to get to these things for months.

So what do you think is the right solution for us to take? Maybe hire another employee? [click to continue…]
