I have 10 items in my "active side projects" list. 10!
While my focus is being subconsciously split at least 10 different ways, my business drives 99% of my regular monthly income. It's crazy, I'm the first person to advise young entrepreneurs on the importance of focusing on one thing, but I'm breaking that fundamental tenet myself.
You can probably guess my results...
I've been constantly chasing my tail–a symptom of chasing the money. Rather than follow and apply advice I give so many others, I've been living the "do as I say, not as I do" lifestyle and suffering the consequences.
The Millionaire Fastlane reminded me of the error in my ways. @MJ DeMarco, you call this Tekel Syndrome. Pop culture calls it Shiny Object Syndrome. I'm calling it Old Yeller. Today I'm taking my rifle and killing this thing. All of my many side projects will still be there once I've gotten rich and made my first $2.5 million bucks. Until then, singular and decided focus married to deliberate action in one direction is my M.O.
