While I often advocate for those that are more trepidatious than others about starting their own small businesses that they moonlight (this particularly works in the computer consulting arena but could also work in other arenas as well) to make sure it’s really for them, eventually they have to make the decision to take the plunge. There are some risks involved, but with some careful planning and dedication, wealth can and will happen. Thanks for these words of wisdom!

I'm constantly tempted to take on a million and one projects, but I absolutely agree that having a focus--a well-chosen focus--is not only more likely to result in success, it's also more likely to keep me sane. There's a difference between learning new things and developing new skills as a hobby, and trying to craft a career out of those myriad interests. That's a difference I really need to keep in mind. I also like your "first this, now this" approach. Sometimes this message is lost in media profiles of successful folks. The bottom line is that, as an example, the baseball player with the media empire didn't start out doing all of those things. At some point, he was just a kid swinging the bat over and over again. This is an excellent reminder to stay focused. I’m constantly tempted to take on a million and one projects, but I absolutely agree that having a focus–a well-chosen focus–is not only more likely to result in success, it’s also more likely to keep me sane.
