<\/p>\nTo find success, sometimes we have to dismiss common beliefs and rely on rules of opposites. Find out why putting all your eggs in one basket and focusing on a specific opportunity and goal could lead you straight to success.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
There are so many sayings we memorize that make absolutely no sense. Yet we say them out of habit and routine, not realizing just how silly we sound.<\/p>\n
For example: \u201cHarv, you can\u2019t have your cake and eat it, too.\u201d Well, what the hell is the point in having the cake then? Or how about this one: \u201cDon\u2019t look a gift horse in the mouth.\u201d Well, isn\u2019t that exactly what the Trojans should\u2019ve<\/em> done?<\/p>\n The point here is that success building requires a lot of deprogramming from so many common beliefs and assumptions we\u2019ve come to take for granted as true, even though a lot of the time it\u2019s the exact opposite.<\/strong><\/p>\n For example, we learned in my earlier blog post on creative financing<\/a>\u00a0that a viable way to jumpstart an enterprise is to buy your product by selling it first. You probably didn’t expect that, but it’s true.<\/p>\n Keep reading to learn two more rules of opposites to follow for success.<\/p>\n Most people will tell you otherwise. Why? Because if you put all of your eggs in one basket and something happens\u2014like dropping it\u2014you\u2019ll lose everything. But, I have a solution for that; take bloody good care of that basket!<\/p>\n We already know that no one\u2019s reaching the next level without taking risks, yes? But the way we\u2019ve come to think about our eggs and baskets is fear-based. We have a fear of losing that we need to overcome.<\/p>\n This truth is already established\u2014if you want to be rich, you\u2019ve got to be great at something<\/em>. And to be great at something, you\u2019ve got to focus<\/strong> on that something. For goodness sakes, that\u2019s where you put all of your eggs!<\/p>\n Rich people are focused. Poor people scatter their energies<\/strong>. It\u2019s hard enough to make one business prosperous let alone divvying your focus and energy up into dozens of different places!<\/p>\n "Find something you're naturally good at and learn how to make a living doing it" @JudgeJudy<\/a> #RedefinePower<\/a><\/p>\n — Moira Forbes (@moiraforbes) June 13, 2017<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\nRule of Opposites #1: Put all your eggs in one basket<\/h3>\n
