Well said - but to note, diversification is no kid's play. Take one wrong step and you'll get burnt down - I tried to diversify too much only to find that I don't have the resources to manage everything.

But yes, when 80 percent - if not all - of your profits originate from one single business, diversification is a must!

Wow, Tom. A rude awakening, but really true. Markets are often changing and your business needs to change with them. Thanks for sharing this post with the BizSugar community.
