Two entrepreneurs discuss how making money tempts you to chase everything at once. One tried adding online education and affiliate marketing while running their core business, and both agree that early focus disappears once you can afford to lose it.
My focus started getting screwed up when I started making money.
Yeah, because you thought you could do everything. I remember there was a period of time you saw things going well with online education. I'm going to do online education. I'm going to do this affiliate thing. I'm going to do this, right? So it dropped down quite a bit for you.
Yeah, but when people are young and starting their first business, they usually have decent focus because they can't afford to not have any focus.
That's true.
It screws up when we start making money.
Yeah. This lesson is helpful for everyone because there's like ebbs and flows with focus and we learn over time. We're just hoping that you can learn that lesson sooner. And even if you're younger right now, you're probably going to think that you can do everything. Trust me, you can't.
