that doesn't make any sense to me.
I probably just need an explanation.
I read on here a few weeks ago about someone who had started business after business and had some insight into each business, most of them not turning out that great..
What I can't understand is why would he start a different business in a different industry nearly each time?
Why not to stick to one type and fail a bunch of times in that particular industry than to jump.
For example he said he got into selling christian stuff and that he didn't differentiate his product so it was a flop. Why not take that experience and then re-enter the same market with a new strategy based on what you learned?
To me that's sort of like playing a game of soccer, losing, and then thinking "Hm, if I had been faster on my feet, a bit slimmer, and more aggresive, I'd have done better"..
Then immediately jumping into football.
Then Tennis,
Then Bowling
Then racket ball
Eventually it's like you'll become a knowledgable business persons with lots of experience but you'll have never mastered any of these.
Or maybe it's more like you tested the waters for each to finally say "Hey, I'm more fit for tennis than for any other sport, I'll rest on this since it's what I'm most capable of succeeding the most with"
