True. I didn't want my post to come off wrong. It's the same advice I'd give a close friend or family member. I believe I've given a few friends that exact advice in the past. I told them to set realistic goals and if they couldn't hit them then move on.
I'd agree with the diversify to a point. I think if you are in the middle area it's good advice. IE If you are at a point that your success isn't great but is better than average. If you are let's say FreeOnes then I completely disagree with you. If I were FreeOnes I would not diversify out of adult unless I really had the time or an unbelievable opportunity to do so. That is how I've approached our business. We've done very well. Far better than I could have ever imagined. Splitting my attention and diversifying outside of my strength and knowledge base is a risky move. If the risk was worth it (ie a great opportunity came up) then I'd say it's worth trying. But if I was diversifying simply to not have all my eggs in one basket then that would be a huge mistake.
I would say that my success really took off when I stopped worrying about diversifying. When I said fuck it, I'm in Porn and I'm going to kill it, make as much as possible and then retire from this. That is when I killed it and exploded. Before that I was always thinking about mainstream ideas and how I could build something acceptable or respectable to most people. You have to do what you are best at. Right now my time is best spent doing what I'm doing
