"it doesn't matter how many times you strike out in business because you only have to be right once, and that "once" can set you up for life In other words, be in the business of home runs." - FLM

so I've been thinking about this lately and I do understand the above quote but at the same time trying to go for the homerun without the basic necessities/surviving is scary. I guess it's a balance like in the beginning when MJ was working on his limo website, he would make other websites for clients if ends didn't quite meet.

It feels good to work on "singles" because it's a quick payoff for my work but of course it's not fastlane. It's important to have the bigger/long term picture always in view.
