Why You Might Be Failing at Everything 🫠

Well, bonjourno to you all !

In a recent video that I watched from a YouTuber - Ali Abdaal, he shared a lesson that totally changed my perspective on the topic of focus.

Some background first:

He admitted to failing with a recent product launch (He created a mechanical keyboard).

He had a major keyboard reviewer give a horrendous review about his product.

Not only did he experience negative publicity, but he also lost around $250k.

At the end of the video, he said that because he couldn’t give enough focus to creating the best product ever, it failed.

Now here’s the lesson:

“Don’t take on a new project unless you can commit a large amount of focus to it. And doing something half-baked is worse than not doing the thing at all.” - Ali Abdaal

My personal reflection:

I recently wanted to start another business venture on top of what I’m busy with now. (Full-time job; ACCA Student; Youtuber; Work part-time at 2 businesses and own an advertising company).

My bias is that it could be a success. But, at what cost? And to what benefit more importantly?

I just do not have enough “FOCUS” to give in order to ensure a success.

So, I have decided to put this business idea on the back burner (I have a notion page for this) for the time being.

When I can commit more focus to it, then maybe I’l consider doing it.

Hope you do the same. :)

Cheers
