Narrowing Focus Outshines Mediocrity

Prioritizing what to decline is more crucial than what to accept in business. Initially, entrepreneurs may feel compelled to say yes to many opportunities for financial gain. However, as businesses grow, maintaining focus is essential. Projects and personnel that are only average—rated as seven out of ten—can detract from overall success. These 'sevens' often clutter priorities and hinder progress, leading to an inefficient use of resources. Instead, concentrating on a select few high-quality projects yields better results than spreading oneself thin across many mediocre endeavors.
