jaja, i love the drawing, anyway there are many sayings in my country that speak about lack of focus , one that comes to my mind is “el que a dos amos sirve con alguno queda mal” it means something like , if you serve two masters you will end up wrong a least with one of them

Ideally that would be anyone’s goal, but it takes a ton of hard work and dedication on your end to make it happen.

Its never a good idea to spread yourself too thin. If you can focus on one company till it grows to a point where you don’t don’t have to be as hands on..then you can start working on the next project.

Interesting! I have to admit that making a schedule has saved my life many time. Or at least my time. If you plan your day or the whole week you can see before how are your next days gonna look like and if you plan it carefully you will have as much as you need for yourself.

For the most part yes, unless that particular key word was that powerful enough, you’re right.

Neil,
For me, IMHO if we will relate it in search engine optimization, for example. It’s better to rank 5, 6, 7, . . . as long as it is in page one and ranked almost of my target niche, rather than having one keyword that ranked one in search engines. In that way I can spread my keywords and internet can easily find me. Having multiple keywords is better than focusing in one keyword.

But still, we are entitled with are own opinion. Your great in creating topic.

No, because if you don’t put focus on one project, you’ll spread yourself too thin.

I agree with you about focusing on a single business but wouldn’t putting all the eggs into one basket a bit risky?

That usually is the million dollar question. You need to do a lot of testing and understand that it can take 6+ months.

Having found a good niche, my biggest challenge is driving traffic from all the markets related to my niche.

Hey if that works for you then great… but having too many things won’t do you good. Instead of having multiple company’s products or services …. do one and do multiple things within that one idea.

Focusing on too many things will just worsen your chances of making something succeed. Never cut yourself too thin.

While I do agree with you that it is important to focus. I am so A.D.D. and impatient that I need multiple things on my plate so that I’m not going crazy waiting on people. May sound ridiculous but is very true.

Thanks for the stats about sleep, lol, thats really true. Yes you are right we need to focus on one thing well.

Schedule requires strict discipline on your part. If you truly want to be successful, focus on following one daily.

By: catalin@paydayfinancial

catalin@paydayfinancial — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 11:04:52 +0000

You are right, but that depends if you are able and strong enough to respect that schedule. If you want to be really successful it’s sure that you will respect it, but if else, failure is an option

your absolutely right, those are key traits one must have.

Good for you to realize it Joe. Hopefully you see what I mean.

lol… yes exactly It’s like a regular marriage.

If you set up a schedule and follow it…. and most importantly… you’re disciplined, you can have a very accurate estimation.

I all depends on how you are able to split you time. If you are able to concentrate on 2 businesses and keep them both working you are doing great. Be careful not to loose focus though.

Focus, innovation, adaptability. I think these are the most important things in order to succeed.

I like the ” He who chases two rabbits comes home hungry quote”.

I like to get to the point where I feel like I’m holding one using it to coax the second.

Launching new business ideas and websites that use your current successful site as a launch pad makes sense and reduces risk because you already 1. Know there is a Market and 2. Know enough about it to make cash flow and profit.

Seems all good entrepreneurs have a knack of Laser focus and when they are scattered they are just like anyone else…. just being busy.

Thanks Neil.

Yeah, you have to look for the right partner and when you are certain you found him (her) you have to “propose”

But as I said, I don’t think this can be generalized. A person is acting different every day and what you do depends on your mood during that day and this is why I am saying that you can’t really say how many hours a person spends on different things.
