Peter and Nicholas are owners of a lawn care business. In a neighborhood, they service two houses next to each other. Peter work at one house while Nicholas works at the other, which takes them the entire day to complete.

In 'specialization', works tend to be divided among workers depended on their specific skill set. By doing this, the overall time needed to complete the work will become much more efficient.

For example, in lawn care business, there generally 2 main things to do.

- Get rid of unwanted debris (which require more physical power)

- Create an artistic cut to make the lawn more aesthetically pleasing (which require an art-related talent).

Using the concept of specialization, peter and Nicholas need to decide which one of them is the one that more prominent in one aspect of the job. After they decide it, they can focus on doing that thing alone between houses and reduce the overall time needed to complete the job.

As for expanding the job to more houses, the only thing they can do is to hire more workers with that specific specialization skill sets. By doing this, they can finish more lawns without having to be physically present and spend their own time.
