We Will Expand only when we have Mastered the Task of Cleaning Toilets

Our generation needs an ENTREPRENEURIAL REVOLUTION.

This is a in important lesson from McDonalds which I learned early on as an entrepreneur. This is a lesson on focus and relevance. The executives of McDo emphasized that they will expand only on other businesses when they have mastered the "art" (task) of cleaning toilets. This looks a simple task enough which apparently they failed to achieve for a long long time.

They did expand into McCafe. But it was just recently. Some serial entrepreneurs fall into this trap of over expanding into unrelated ventures and then fail.
