Why You Should Put All Your Eggs In One Basket

What? I am contradicting myself?
Andrew Carnegie is believed to have achieved the greatest fortune ever. His net worth when he cashed in his businesses, is estimated at well over 200 billion dollars in today's dollars, considerably more than any of today's billionaires.
Andrew Carnegie's advise was:
"Put all your eggs in one basket, then watch that basket very carefully."
Thinking about the new year it occurred to me that many of us are guilty of chasing after the so called "shinny new objects," thus wasting money and precious time without results.
What would happen if we dumped every other wasteful and confusing program that doesn't produce results, and concentrated on the path to wealth that Wealthy Affiliates provides us.
It would a lot like putting all your eggs in a tried and tested "basket" that will work if you devote the necessary time and effort to it.
The beginning of 2013 is a great starting point to try Andrew Carnegie's strategy using WA.
