Without diversification, you are always just one step away from ruin. With diversification, you can be several steps away — with each step being less likely to occur than the previous.

Well said - but to note, diversification is no kid's play. Take one wrong step and you'll get burnt down - I tried to diversify too much only to find that I don't have the resources to manage everything.

But yes, when 80 percent - if not all - of your profits originate from one single business, diversification is a must!
