Ambition is a great thing. But combined with unbridled optimism and a lack of discipline for the long term, it can be a big problem and lead to big failures.
If you start things but can’t finish them, if you underestimate how long it will take to “complete” a project, and if you can help but have a new idea every month/week/day/hour, then your ambition will have you running in a different direction all the time – from one disappointment to another.
You can do anything, but you can’t do everything. And the more things you do at once, the less your chances of doing great at any one of them are.
Truer words have never been written!
Thank you for this sage advice!

Good morning from Carolina Basement Systems!
Another good morning from Carolina Basement Systems. Have a great day everyone.
“You can do anything, but you can’t do everything”. Love this! This is the reason I don’t necessarily believe that “multitasking” is a good thing. It just means that something isn’t getting your full attention….
So true! As an owner I fall victim to this more often then I would like. Seeing it in writing makes me conscious of it and helps me to change my outlook and improve!
Jeez….this advice would have really helped about 20 years ago!
