“When I meet with the founders of a new company, my advice is almost always, ‘Do fewer things’”
— Evan Williams
Simplified Meaning:
Starting a new business can be very exciting, but it can also be overwhelming with all the things that need to be done. Sometimes, new business owners try to tackle too many tasks at once because they want their business to grow quickly. However, trying to do everything can make it hard to focus and do things well. Take, for example, a chef opening a restaurant. If the chef tries to serve every type of cuisine, like Italian, Chinese, and Mexican food all at once, it might be difficult to make each dish taste great. Instead, if the chef focuses on perfecting a smaller menu, say, just Italian dishes, the food will likely be much better, and customers will notice the quality. Similarly, new business owners who focus on doing a few things really well can build a stronger foundation for their company. This way, they can ensure their core products or services are excellent, making it easier to succeed in the long run.
