Chasing Two Bunnies

Which Bunny are You Chasing?

I recently read a blog article by David Nagle that said that trying to run two business is like chasing two bunnies. He goes on to say that what you focus on is what will grow and you should try to focus on one thing at a time.

I totally get this. When inspiration hits, I get a lot of ideas at once. There are times that I wanted to pursue more than one business, so I could serve people in different ways. I feel passionate about all of them and have to make some decisions about what to focus on.  Did that ever happen to you?

Can you visualize yourself in your yard with several bunnies running in different directions and you are trying to chase all of them? They may all be fuzzy, cute and tempting, but you can’t possibly catch them all at once.

In order to figure out which bunny is the best one for you, you need to ask yourself which one you want the most and why. What is the underlying reason you want that particular bunny? You also need to explore whether or not you have any fear around pursuing these options as well. Confronting your fears will help you move past them.

You may also get stuck because you want to pursue one option, but you’re afraid the other one will go away. Remember, you can always come back later and pursue something else. If you think the opportunity may not be there later, but you know there’s another option you want to pursue a little more, let it go. If it was meant to be, it’ll come around again.

Just be sure to pick one direction or you may find yourself wasting a whole lot of energy running in different directions without any bunnies to show for it.
