It’s plain in hindsight, but when I saw this it was a real “Aha” moment for me- here’s how Dennis tells it:

Before proceeding with making my list of projects, I tried to define in my mind what guidelines I should use to find and choose a project to concentrate (focus) on.

Then something else hit me. In the past, I had tried to go for home runs with everything I did.

If I didn’t get a home run, I thought of it as a failure, a waste of time, and went on to something else. In fact, when I didn’t get the home run in the first at-bat, I got discouraged and tried to find another game to play.

I should have realized far sooner that nobody can hit a home run every time (or score a touchdown or a goal, depending on your sport of preference), it’s just as true in internet marketing as it is in sports.

What I determined, in addition to becoming more focused, was to be less choosy about my projects.

I made a very crucial decision: No longer would I care if something would be a home run. No longer would I care if a project would make me a thousand dollars overnight like the gurus all said they could do by sending a single email.

In fact, I started to think that an overnight thousand dollars wouldn’t be good enough, certainly if I couldn’t do it on demand.

If I could only make a thousand dollars occasionally, even if once a month, that wouldn’t even pay the mortgage, much less the rest of the bills.

Then it clicked. Ah ha! If I couldn’t figure out how to make a quick thousand dollars, what number could I figure out how to obtain?

My magic number: Five dollars.
