Dsanka’s Pensieve

I recently finished reading a book called The Dip by Seth Godin (author and marketing expert).

Its a really short book with a very simple premise. The book talks about one of the basic tenets of success (something we seem to forget all too often) – Focusing on what matters. When we try to do too many things at once all it ends up doing is diluting our talent, motivation & energy which leads to results well below our true potential. Bottom line we can’t win every battle but what we can do is to pick the ones that matter the most to us and to our goals.

This book has re-affirmed my decision of dropping grad school and moving on to being an entrepreneur full time. I have been telling myself over the last year or so that i can manage both school and a startup but in all honesty i am doing justice to neither of them. Which is why at this point i have decided on picking what matters most to me and sticking with it.

That’s my side of the story. Any thoughts/comments?
