you can't build a team without a common goal.
It is very difficult to build a strong team unless its members are working towards a common, agreed upon goal and have a clear vision for the future. When entrepreneurs start pursuing other opportunities, the management team becomes confused. They start asking questions: "What are they supposed to do?"; "What are the priorities?"; "Why are we doing this?" Pursuing other opportunities creates unnecessary confusion and dysfunctional conflict within the team. A company that sold remanufactured office furniture starting selling new office equipment. Unfortunately, this only confused the sales people who no longer knew what to sell...new or used.
You'll achieve lower costs, and higher margins. Staying focused has a direct impact on the company's bottom line. It will keep your costs down because it will eliminate expenses that would be wasted on low-probability opportunities. At the same time, focusing will increase your margins, enabling you to provide the product or service more effectively than any competitor. Your product or service will become a better value and your customers will be willing to pay more for it.
