Focus

Focus

What you focus on in your personal and business life is a distillation of the noise around you, the noise within you and your ability to choose a path through it all.

We often set priorities but when faced with the craziness of our regular day, become distracted from what it takes to achieve our goals.

The skill of being able to stay on the right path is a critical one. Nothing has more of an impact on your long-term success than your ability to focus on the right things personally and professionally.

Simple test for today. On a piece of paper (yes, I think the manual exercise is more effective than typing it onto a screen…), as you go through your day, write down what it is that you are spending your time and therefore your focus on.?

When the day is complete, step back, and do a reality check. Looking at where you are putting your time, have you got the right focus?
