Steve Jobs was once asked what he was most proud of in his career. He didn’t say it was the iPod. He didn’t mention the Mac. He didn’t even hint at Apple, NeXT, iTunes, or Pixar.
He said that he most proud of all the great opportunities he said no to.
Successful entrepreneurs have the discipline of focus. They cater to and focus on their one thing. They protect it. Everything else, no matter how great of an opportunity it may be, is turned away.
You grow by saying no.
