This is a techniques used by Richard Branson and Donald Trump. Most often someone who opens a business lets say a car dealership, will most likely open another car dealership because this is the industry they know and understand.

These are two completely different businesses in two different industries. When one industry slows down the other industry produces income. As well, his Virgin media can supply the in flight entertainment for his airline. Because he diversified his business and has two businesses in non related industries, his business structure is more safe and stable for long term growth. Have a large sum of liquid cash.
