This probably makes sense if it takes up your time... That's because - if you're the only one working the business - you only have 24 hours in a day available to you.

However, if you can set things up as a "system" - so you can even remove yourself from the picture (by outsourcing much of the work or automating it some way) - then there's no reason why you can't have many things going on at once.

I think it's the difference between being "self-employed" and "owning a business" (to put it in Robert Kiyosaki's terms)...

I'm in the process of making the transition from one to the other myself... The hard part is it takes a "mental change" in how you think about things. You really have to start seeing your business as a "system", then it's easier to make the required changes in how things are done in your business so you can turn it into a "system" where you don't have to do everything yourself...

There are several Sowpubbers (now and in the past) who already do this, I'm grateful to have learned (and still be learning) from some of them!

Cheers,

Dien
