We've been asked many times: ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐ ๐๐๐๐ ๐๐ ๐๐๐ ๐๐๐๐๐๐๐๐?โฃโฃ

Sigh. If youโre a new or mid-level entrepreneur then you ought to learn that business is not a game for the faint of heart. Your biz is your livelihood. It can be fun, but also dangerous. And unless youโre a pro, serial entrepreneur with tons of experience, getting a single business off the ground is going to take all your focus.โฃโฃ

Think it through, if youโre not a pro juggler, you shouldnโt be juggling 3 chainsaws, right?โฃโฃ

You should be practicing and getting the feel for a single egg until you basically never drop it. Only then do you add a second egg.โฃโฃ

Focusing on one business is highly f**king recommended.โฃโฃ

This applies to trying to grow multiple platforms, juggling multiple projects, and publishing multiple content formats too. Just be smart, please.โฃโฃ

I can hear your argument... BUT I AM FOCUSED, Cyn, honest!โฃโฃ

Are you?โฃโฃ

Does this sound familiar?โฃโฃ

You scroll through your feed at 100mph, eyes flitting around like a hummingbird. Your vision rests briefly on a guru saying โInstagram is the best place to make money.โ You immediately spend your day making your grid look nice.โฃโฃ

Three people see it.โฃโฃ

You take the next day 'off.' You take it offโ to recover from all the โproductiveโ Instagram content you made the day before. Plus youโre on your period and the kids are home from school, so obviously the dayโs a write-off. Ah yes, time to binge Game Of Thrones, itโs a great relief, escapism matters, after all.โฃโฃ

โSelf-care is so important, woo-hoo!โโฃโฃ

The following day...you wake up & decide to do something different. You do not revisit your Instagram. Instead, you choose to post in your Facebook group โfor a change.โ An article you read said solopreneurs must avoid boredom, so as a focused person, you donโt want to get bored with the โgram. And hey, youโre psyched to get your groupโs 40 members up to 50, anyway, so you start reading about โGroup Engagement.โ โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
You go down a rabbit hole and by the end of the day, your member countโs up to a whoppingโฆ 41. โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
You scrunch down your disappointment at a wasted twenty-four hours, then rationalize it away by saying โHey, at least I got one more member.โ Itโs progress!โฃโฃ

Your pretty grid, GoT-binging, and Facebook Group efforts have gotten you nowhere in your biz. These annoying realizations trigger you to spend your day whining to family & friends about how hard & depressing business is. They donโt want to talk to a negative-nancy or a sad-sack, so they shut you up by saying โitโs not your faultโ, then distract you with fun jokes & conversation.โฃโฃ

Every new or mid-level founder says theyโre focusedโฆ but theyโre nearly always deluding themselves.โฃโฃ
โฃโฃ
Just because you occasionally mention your dream or post on socials, doesnโt mean youโre really focused on it.โฃโฃ
