Ignoring Business Opportunities

You set out to start a business and problems attack your business.

Other business opportunities look good - even better. Now you start working on a separate project and drop the first one.

If you want to start a business and then build a lasting business legacy, then I suggest you put on blinders and start ignoring business opportunities that aren't your central focus.

The thought came to me after reading a blog post from a 22-year-old man, Dontrell Lyons, who outlined the differences between an entrepreneur who builds a business for the long-term and an opportunity seeker who's swayed by every money making deal that sounds hot.

I recommend reading through the list Dontrell compiled.

In the meantime, do you have a long-term value-added outlook for your business whether it's your own or someone else's and you're hired to work?

Building long-term value is a satisfying pursuit and can take you through the discouraging times when cash flow is tight.
