Are you feeling overwhelmed juggling multiple roles and responsibilities? Do your businesses feel like they’re all just competing for your attention? If you’re nodding emphatically, then listen in for some practical insights into the benefits if simplifying.
In this episode of the Dadpreneurs Rising, Carl discusses the importance of focus for dadpreneurs juggling the demands of entrepreneurship, fatherhood, and personal life. From Carl's own experience of juggling multiple businesses early on, he emphasises the mistake of spreading yourself too thin.
Carl stresses that if your primary business hasn't reached at least $1 million in revenue with a comfortable 20-30% profit margin, you should avoid the distraction of starting additional ventures. He stresses that humans can only truly focus on one thing at a time, and multitasking is really just task-switching. As dads juggling entrepreneurship, fatherhood, husband duties, and personal roles, avoiding distractions is crucial.
Don't chase multiple rabbits — put all your energy into maximising one business before diversifying. Cutting out distractions and maintaining a laser focus on one primary business is pivotal to your success as a dadpreneur.
