One reason so few of us achieve what we truly want is that we never direct our focus; we never concentrate our power. Most people dabble their way through life, never deciding to master anything in particular.

It's so funny watching the different personalities emerge when it comes time to the party food.

There's the 'gotta have a little bit of everything on my plate, and better do it fast before it runs out' kid. Then there's the 'I love those lollies/party pies/grapes and I'm gonna grab the biggest handful I can, and then grab another one just in case' kid. 

There also seems to be the 'I'll just hang back here until it's not so scary and hope there's something left' kid. Oh, and the really lovely 'I'll just take a bite of this and ewww, I think I'll put that back where I found it' kid.< /font>

I've found it's also interesting watching the different business personalities emerge

There's the 'gotta have my fingers in lots of pies in case one of them pans out' Mumpreneur. Then there's the 'I am going to throw myself into this business lock, stock mortgage and kids' Mumpreneur.

There's also the 'I really want to start my own business but I don't know what to start it in so I'll wait for someone to come along who can show me' Mumpreneur. And of course the 'I'll start this business and ewww, it's not making money fast enough, let's try the next one, and oops, the next one, and oops, the next one' entrepreneur.

You know, I think at some stage throughout my life I've been every one of these entrepreneurs. Strange as it may sound, I'm really glad I have been. Because each phase has taught me something new about business, not to mention something new about myself.

So what's the best way to eat party food?

Well when you think about it, I guess eating one thing at a time makes the most sense right? Even if there are a few different things that you've carefully selected on your plate, you can only fit one thing in your mouth at a time.

And that's what I've found so far with being an entrepreneur. It's OK to have more than one thing on your plate (although some of us are better at it than others), but to do anything well you need to focus on one thing at a time. This includes what you are focusing on within your business as well as any different businesses you may be 'sampling'.

Leap 'n' Bound: If you feel a little divided at the moment, take a stand and choose the one thing you are going to focus on for the next x number of days. You don't have to let everything else go, but perhaps just shelve it for a while until what you have chosen is working as well as you would like.

Do you see yourself in any of what I've discussed? Do you agree or disagree with my conclusion? Why not share your experience with your fellow Mumpreneurs on the blog at http://www.mumpreneurs.wordpress.com/.
