Hello everyone!
I know it's been a long time since my last post, but I've been busy. Busy reading Unscripted again, busy picking up some niche freelance work for money, busy trying to reflect back to the past when I first read the book, and how my life has changed since then. I've been trying to "Start as if I were to continue" as @Andy Black said in another post and thus, I've been redesigning my life according to that. Frankly though and upon reflection, I've done little to no actionable progress towards progressing my business. But on the flip side, I've been expanding my opportunities in that niche freelance work that I'm doing, which is closely tied to entrepreneurship.
Now to the topic at hand. I've been thinking of starting up two businesses. One revolved around software, and the other one around providing convenience in the automobile domain. Both pass (and Fail the S. Dictat) the C.E.N.T.S. Framework, but those issues can be resolved by restructuring once the businesses can turn a profit. However, I'm curious. What's the better practice? Working on both or focusing on one at a time? They require different timeslots/actions and also skillsets. In theory, both can be done at the same time.
But I concede the fact that in TFF, people leagues ahead of where I am right now can answer these questions with insights I have yet to obtain.
So what are your thoughts? How are you working towards or already achieved your success?
EDIT: I would be remiss not to mention that reading The dog and the nail parable made me think about this all night long. I've got to thank this thread specifically about my bad night's sleep!
