There is enough money in the world that if you find a niche and exploit it well you will do awesome in life and have more than enough to survive. Many people try to be Microsoft or Google, which is a great aspiration and I’ll admit to having those day dreams myself but it’s not practical. Only when you come from a strong and supportive point by exploiting a niche (something you are good at) will you likely find the energy to expand in way to reach your overall goal of ruling the world.

I believe it’s a matter of setting long term goals vs. short term goals. Any successful person usually has a task system of some sort, even if it’s just a paper list of tasks. That person usually has some short-term goals as well. Short-term goals are longer than tasks (things that take days instead of hours). Then lastly, long term goals (months, weeks, years). Without some target usually people do not get successful.

I was watching someone talk about success on twitter the other day and discussing how if you focus on success you become more successful. My response was along these lines:

"Success is like a small flame… can be difficult to start but once started if nurtured can become a bonfire with the same persistant will that it was started."

Okay, I spiced it up to get my point across. My response wasn’t as eloquent on twitter because I had less space to write. You must focus on small attainable goals to build a history of success and it’s much easier to target your focus on a niche market. Look for markets that aren’t saturated and can accept what you have to offer. There are a ton of niche communities in this country and in this world. You can be very successful just off of a couple thousand dedicated eyes and ears if you navigate properly.

Trying to accomplish too much and overextending is the death of most people and many businesses. You can’t be everything to everyone at all times.
