Winners Know When To Pivot

There’s this thing many entrepreneurs do. We see opportunities and start chasing them, sometimes even neglecting our core businesses and what makes us money. We stop making the main thing the main thing.
It happens for many reasons. Maybe we’re bored. Maybe we see the opportunity to make a lot of money. Sometimes it works. Sometimes it doesn’t. We call it “shiny object syndrome.” Luckily for Brad, he kept his focus on his core business while he made some shiny object mistakes. In this episode, I talk to my close friend and baller entrepreneur Brad Ball about this topic. Brad has become one of my closest business confidants in the last few years. He is the owner of the growing Poogan’s Restaurant Group in Charleston, as well as a short-term rental company in South Carolina, Georgia, Costa Rica, and maybe other places I’m forgetting. Recently he’s gone hard into early-stage investment. I hope you learn a lot from this chat.
