don't burn the clam strips!!!

When you first start out in entrepreneurship, the opportunities are endless.

• Dropshipping

• SMMA

• Print on Demand.

It’s the best time to have a business.

Because all you need is a laptop and some McDonalds wifi lol.

The problem is when people split their attention in half.

When you do that, your attention gets divided.

And now you have a case of the scatter brains.

You do 2 or more “side hustles” hoping one will “takeoff”.

And after one takes off, you’ll put all your attention to it.

You could do it that way.

But how much longer would that take you to build a successful online business?

What if you just skipped that mess all together?

Because the reality is when you focus on one opportunity and cut yourself off from all the others, you’re focused.

I remember when I was a fryboy.

I fried the clam strips, chicken strips, fish and fries.

During peak summer, I’d get a line out the door of the restaurant that wrapped around to the back.

Most of the time, it was families coming in.

The cashier would take the orders and come to the line with 3x, 5x even 7x tickets at a time.

As they hung up the tickets, all I did was look at them for a hot minute.

Taking inventory, I got straight to frying.

Everything was fine…

Except for 1 thing.

The clam strips.

If I was Batman, the clam strips were the Joker.

They were my arch nemesis.

The clam strips could not be in the fryer longer than a minute.

Because if they were, they’d get burnt.

My attention was always on the fries, fish, and chicken strips.

If I burnt those, there would be bigger problems.

But that’s exactly what happens when you have more than one “side hustle.”

You get burned out.

So, why not make it easy and cut yourself off from all other fish.

Focus on one thing.

Just focus on the clam strips (one side hustle).

Improve your craft.

Learn what to do and what not to do.

Create systems.

Build routines.

This is how you will get better.

Not by doing 100 different things.

Anyway, that’s all I got for ya today.
