20 CEO’s Reveal Their Top Business New Years Resolutions
011. Ali Din, Founder, dinCloud
“I resolve to ‘do a few things very well.’ Often times, the opportunity to serve multiple customer segments or offer a different product (than what you do today) is very attractive. Instead, we are going to focus on a few core offerings, to a specific segment with a strong commitment to delivery. Personally, I am taking this focus to heart and honing my time and effort on my experience and education in marketing and branding to accomplish our goals.”
