Hello everyone, I am aware that focusing on one business is the best thing and most of the time the results don't come right away. What I'm wondering is how do you figure out if it's worth continuing to work on that business or if it's time to move on to something else? MJ DeMarco failed in various businesses before he became rich, but if he had insisted on one of those maybe now he would be even richer. I hope I have explained myself, good day everyone.
