Name the most successful lawn mowing, gutter cleaning, lawn raking, chimney repairing, fire making, cooking company that you know. Nothing bigger than the local Jack of all trades…. you know, the YES MAN." My answer is Google. Easy! What would you say about Google?? Do you have a term for Google? Take a look at this http://chaudharyp.blogspot.com/2010/02/dilution-or-diversification.html I guess what I mean to say here is that it all depends on what vision you keep.

I definitely understand the desire to want to give as much as you can to your clients and potential clients in an effort to WOO them and create evangelists out of them but the more you continue to give in and say "yes", the more you continue to spread yourself thin. Spread yourself too thin and that just leads to disaster. I think that this is especially important to the solo-preneur where you wear many hats (accountant, customer service, sales, management, etc.). You can't afford to spread yourself to thin.
