To be truly successful, you’ve got to be a monomaniac on a mission.
They say, “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”
But here’s the secret no one wants to admit — the people who say that rarely own any chickens.
To be successful at something, you need to be a monomaniac on a mission. The great ones don’t scatter their attention like birdseed. They point it like a laser. They wake up thinking about it, go to sleep dreaming about it, and talk about it until everyone around them gets tired of hearing it. Then they do it anyway.
Diversification protects you from failure — and also from greatness. It’s a fine strategy for people who want safety, not glory. You can’t climb ten ladders at once, and you sure can’t reach the top if you keep moving yours to a new wall every week.
Focus has compound interest. Every hour you pour into one thing adds up, stacks up, and eventually breaks through. Obsession turns average into mastery. While the “well-balanced” folks are spreading themselves thin, the monomaniac is digging deep — and that’s where the gold is.
So yes, diversify your portfolio if you must — but not your purpose.
Pick your basket, guard it with your life, and hatch your dragon.
