- [[My "One Kicks"]] While it’s been great to have a single venture as my focus, I’m starting to feel too slow about it. Focus is good, but it needs to be balanced with the ability to find something worth 100% of focus. Here I think I’ve had opportunity costs by focusing on one thing too early.  I saw this recently on Instagram and it reminded me of how I had approached my ventures last year. Especially the “double your rate of failure” bit stuck with me. With one venture, I have a rate of 1. I could, and have in the past, parallelized 2 and 3 ventures.  After all... I learned last year, after publishing 10 books, that – if I do everything else right – **only** 1 out of 10 will actually work and be profitable. ![](Attachments/91b1c57c12cf70a401930dffe192b34a.png) So, here’s a break-down of what I’m thinking: Starting with the smallest unit, the experiment with its three steps, then sequencing that in one venture, then parallelizing multiple (non-cross-pollinating) ventures to double and triple my rate of failure. ![](parallel-ventures.jpeg) However, this is pretty much an idea where everything always takes the same amount of time. In reality it looks more like this: ![](parallel-venture-experiments.jpeg) So, I do have my experiment board that allowed me to keep track of my experiments before. And I’m not crazy about the Evernote style so far… Should I just re-use my tracking system? Why did I stop using it?

But I’ll find the answer! ## Related - [[The 10X Rule (Book)]]
