Beware of Opportunities that Distracts You
I have been spending time on automating my business by using Excel VBA scripts and Selenium IDE. Selenium IDE is a wonderful tool to automate web-based processes. The automation has saved me hours of work every month.
Someone offered me a gig to automate his business. I turned him down for the opportunity. I told him that I can teach one of his staff over a cup of coffee. Even though I needed the money, I cannot be distracted from my business. I rather spent the time to develop my business rather than getting a fast buck.
Whatever that you are doing, you have to stay focused. Beware of opportunities that distracts you from your main goal. I have spent my 20s and 30s wanting to do many things and accomplish none. I started my current general insurance business in 2020. The last five years, I lived and breath insurance. That's how I now have small successes. If I am still distracted like my younger days, I would not have survived.
In a nutshell, you must know your target in life. And say no to opportunities that may derail your main goal.
