My fourth topic of today is from X Twitter and it's a tweet from Sam Parr, co-host of My First Million.
He says, one reason why entrepreneurship is hard is because you fear that what you're working on today won't pay dividends in five years and that it'll be a waste of time.
And so you switch from thing to thing to make yourself feel that you're addressing that fear.
Not true.
He says in all caps, constant switching will kill you.
The focus is the hard part and will increase the likelihood of the desirable outcome.
The price of the payout future profits selling company is the focus.
If you've listened to this podcast for any length of time, you'll know that this is something I harp on a lot because there are a lot of people making excuses for being distracted and for engaging in
feeding their entrepreneurial ADHD or their shiny object syndrome or their, I need to be diversified or it's all a matter of luck.
So I need to make a hundred bets because one might pay off, et cetera, et cetera.
I don't believe that.
I think it's terrible advice.
Sam Parr doesn't believe that.
Jason Cohen has come out, doesn't believe it.
He's come out in favor of focus.
And I love it when someone like Sam, who by all means has been very successful and is now on his
second successful effort.
He sold his first startup.
I believe he's been public about it, that it was an eight-figure exit.
And now he started Hampton.
