Hey Adam,

I agree with keeping iPrioritize running and reinvesting the profits from SEO and DI. Down the line, you want a business like iPrioritize that makes you money while you sleep and is scaleable. Plus, I still use iPrioritize .

Hey Adam,

I have had a similar problem. Along with my full-time job (I am a manager at my fathers company), my wife and I own a small bookstore, which we are currently moving and expanding into a coffeehouse, and I recently started a custom woodworking business on the side. I feel like I am being pulled in a million different directions at times.

It is an issue all of us entrepreneurs have. We can't help it if we are always finding new areas of interest, in which to start new businesses.

Like you, I have decided, at least for the time being, to narrow my focus and concentrate on fewer endeavors at once. Therefore, the businesses I am focusing on will benefit even more, and I will come back to the other business once I have the time.

Good Luck,
Jared

Just because a business model looks great on paper, doesn't mean much for the real world!

I do a lot of SE contracts on the side also and they bring in hella money.

I agree Nev - ultimately we will probably end up with 5-10 iPrioritize's that we start with our SEO/DI money and hopefully one of those creative business models will work and hit it big. The rest will probably "fail" in the grand scheme of things, but I suppose that's the curse of an entrepreneur compared to just a regular business owner - we are willing to risk a lot for innovation rather than always doing status quo that we know will make a good buck.

Thanks for the great comments guys!
