What a great post. I wrote something recently and quoted the famous Andrew Carnegie quote,

“You need to put all of your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket.”

It applies here perfectly as well. Great post.

dI agree and it is one of the hardest things for an entrepreneur to do. Entrepreneurs want to be all over the place and love jumping from one thing to the next. However doing that definitely hurts your chances at great success in any area.

So sit down think about what your doing and FOCUS.

I agree that you can’t spread yourself too thin, however, I do think it’s a good idea to know everything about what you do. I don’t think I’m disagreeing by saying this, I’m just saying that knowing about your “one” thing inside and out means you have to know many, many things. For example, i own a website developement company and i know programming. But I also have to know about business and seo and how to communicate best with my clients. You see how it really entails knowing many things?

I agree you have to have focus in order to succeed. When I first realized I “might” be an entrepreneur…I thought I’d be doing this and this and that and that over there, but what I realized is that with every good idea comes a lot of tasks and must do’s. It took a while but I realized that I am not as much as an idea guy than a guy that can organize and plan and get things done. So at any given time I may look like I am a jack of all trades, but I am trying to one thing and one thing only…manage and organize ideas, tasks and people in order to make businesses successful…ok that’s like 5 things but you get the point :0)

@Erin I agree with you. Working with someone else can be positive. Getting feedback is always a good thing as well because we as entrepreneurs may miss some critical detail by accident!

I think the funny thing, is better isn’t necessarily better. Meaning “faster and cheaper” which is always defined as better, isn’t really always better. You can be “slower and more expensive” and be seen as better.

The morale to the story is being the MOST or LEAST of something… but no matter what being on the edge.

Just look at the photo. No one cares about big hair… but that is unbelievably big, so it get’s attention. A bald head got Sinead O’Connor tons of attention. Regular hair is just, well, regular.

Go to the maximum… or the minimum… but just go to the edge.

Great post – I think it’s so true. Another great point is that you should always ask for advice and help when working on a project – two heads are always better than one. Chances are if you’re working on something someone else has done it before, and they can be of some help to you. Sharing knowledge and resources can save time, money and stress!
