Is business Ying and Yang? Ying: timing is key; business success hinges on good timing of "in/out” and sizing your position correctly. Yang: Process is key; business success hinges on quality processes, consistency and industrialization. Perhaps these approaches hang together.
Difficult decisions often rest on dilemmas, sometimes those with unclear answers. Examples are: top line (growth) vs. bottom line (profits),
sales increases vs. dividends, CHF vs. USD, expansion (risky) vs. concentration (less risky). Consider both.
Focus is key. Concentrating on a few businesses or phenomena at one time allows for a deeper understanding. On the other hand, portfolio diversification can eliminate excessive risk, but the portfolio must be focused. Find the right strategic balance. https://t.co/hH6Z7EurVf
