Chapters

Instead of starting another business, you should definitely look at what are the problems inside of your own business that are driving you to start another business. I say often that distraction is the greatest destroyer of wealth. And a lot of people, when their business starts to become difficult or when there's a problem they can't figure out, they think there must be something wrong with that business or their industry. So then they jump ship and they have this grass is greener mentality and start from scratch all over again. But the fact is, if you have a business that's already working for the most part, it's much better to hone in, find an expert to help you solve that particular problem rather than giving up hope and jumping to something new, because we all know it's much harder to go from zero to one than it is to grow something and scale something that's already working.
