"Most startups don't die of starvation... they die of indigestion instead!"

Afrer starting 7 companies (so far), I heard that statement for the first time today... and it struck me on how true that is.

Yes, I've been lucky to bring them all to some level of success yet it made me think of how easily a different outcome could have happened.

That made me think of all the solopreneurs, coaches, consultants and freelancers that are continuously bombarded by offers, opportunities, social media, new tools, tech and apps, etc.

To me, it raises the importance for each of us to ask "what is the one thing" that we need to focus on to reach our next success level and what do I need to "brutally cut out of my life" that doesn't support getting there.

This is the perfect time of the year to be "one-thing focused" in each of the key elements of your life. This. means business, family, health, money and faith... to me.

What are those to you and how do you ensure that your digestion doesn't slow you down or stop you?
