I look at core businesses like formulas. You have a formula, that you know works. You work that formula. You perfect that formula. You are successful with that formula. Then you are distracted by opportunities outside you formula. You are mildly successful. But, the next thing you know your core businesses are faltering because you have ignored them. You see a lot of this with big companies seeking bankruptcy protection. Your core is your strategy, it works for you, stick with it and prosper. Get distracted and you increase your risk of not being as successful as you would like. Invariably every business, large or small, struggles with focusing on their core businesses.
