Focus. It seems simply enough, but I don’t think I really understood the point of it till now. I’ve always wanted to try out new ventures in life, but I often found myself trying to juggle way too many variables around that it just felt completely overwhelming. I learned this week that focusing and simplicity can often be key when trying to accomplish anything.
I think sometimes I get fooled into thinking that multitasking is amazing, but all too often, the end result is not optimal. Working on GetListed, the action of staying focus seems paramount, as there are so many variables in the big picture reality of the company. Taking a moment to breath and focus on our customer segment seems to be an important learning from this week.
I think focus is probably one of the most eye opening realities in building any business as a lack of focus can really make starting a company really hard. So instead of making a solution for your customers, you’ve made a problem for yourself. This week encourages me to move forward with my idea into an execution that has a focus customer segment and focused actions.
