Focus Vs loading the gumball machine

[Primer]

hi, I wonder if you could help me make sense of something.

I’m well aware of the need to focus on a product/business - however @MJ DeMarco also talks about loading the machine with gold balls (apologies if that’s not 100% how it’s described in the book).

I am dedicated to, and focussed on my business, but this week I came across a other idea that I think has legs, and I really want to start executing on it.

What’s the play here?
