Do one thing, Do it well; Focus

All of us are extremely good in somethings.
This is TRUE for Individuals, Small Companies, Large Companies.


All of us think - Some of us are extremely good at everything.
This is the root cause of problems for individuals, startups, and conglomerates.

A doctor trying to write code; and an writer trying to build a house;
are examples of "Some of us are extremely good at everything".


Coming back to startups, we can be an end-to-end solution provider
or be a value addition in an entire supply-chain of an industry/vertical.
Startups with FOCUS on a speciality beats the competition to death,
and comes out as a Success in Flying Colors.


Examples of Successful Startups include
Google - Focus on one speciality - Search - and then build a business around it
Intuit - Focus on one speciality - Small Business Accounting - and then build business around it

As an Individual or as a Company, if we find out our Strengths and Weaknesses,
and Focus on one speciality - we would all be so successful.

Wishing you All The BEST
