Diversification

The definition of diversification from Dictionary.com is; the act or practice of manufacturing a variety of products, investing in a variety of securities, selling a variety of merchandise, etc., so that a failure in or an economic slump affecting one of them will not be disastrous.

It's ironic that this word would mean so much to me, because of all the times I have heard it, I never realized what it meant or really, what it stood for.
I was having a conversation with a very good friend (who also happens to be a very smart business associate) today. Initially our conversation was of the usual things; what was going on in our lives, how my house purchase was going, how my friends’ recent vacation went, blah, blah, blah....What you would normally discuss with friends right? From there our conversation turned to employment, or more, opportunities to make money, on our time, with our own rules. We have brainstormed in the past, but I think today was very prolific.
I am in a situation now, where I need to find a line of work, that is for me three things; lucrative, positive and something that fits in to my life as a mama. I have been tossing three main ideas around, but have not been able to figure out where to start because I have been over thinking each of them. I go from:
1. What do I do with these ideas?
2. Which idea do I start with?
3. (This one I like to call panic mode...) How the hell do I even get started?
From there it's pretty much an uphill battle to get ANYTHING done, because I am too anxious to even begin. My friend and business associate was able to put these ideas in to perspective for me, he essentially explained to me that I was diversifying. He said that diversification was the word of the day. At the time I don't think I realized just how right he was! I soon realized that I was on the cusp of diversification and I didn't even know it.
Today I feel like my ideas have fallen in to place. Today I have accomplished a lot. Today I diversified. Today was a good day.
