How Can I Focus In The Midst of LIFE?

How Can I Focus In The Midst of LIFE?

It’s volleyball season at our house. My younger daughter has been working hard in the off-season, and now the season has arrived - and more hard work is in store.?

5 nights a week, Monday through Friday, she’s at either her team practices (3 nights a week) or at a gym where she focuses on specific conditioning and skills that she needs for her position. It’s not for the faint of heart. Those workouts can be brutal.

Why spend so much energy and time on this?

She’s focused on her goal. She wants to play in college. And the hard work now is the price she will pay to achieve that goal. Her focus is clear and laser sharp. And she won’t let anything stand in her way.?

Watching her clear-minded focus reminds me of a lot of entrepreneurs and business owners that I work with. They too are working hard, day in and day out. They too are putting in the reps, are willing to work hard, and want to see the results.?

But do you want to know the big difference between my daughter and some of these leaders?

They lack the clear-minded focus I see in her.?

The chaos of the day to day, of reacting to what is happening all around them, of responding to clients, team members, and anyone else who has their contact info, leaves them exhausted at day's end.?LIFE happens, and they are just reacting to it.

What are they working toward? What do they want to achieve? WHY do they want to achieve it?

Without clear-minded focus, you will be STUCK in reaction mode instead of proactively planning and executing with a purpose. You will NOT move into a place where you can lead from calm control instead of reacting to the chaos of LIFE. And you will NOT achieve a mental position of confidence - and that will be felt by every client you encounter and team member you lead.?

For myself, I want the focus. I want to lead and execute from a place of calm control. And I want to lead from a place of confidence that demonstrates not only my mastery of the subject matter, but also of my mindset.?

How about you?

If you want that too, but doubt whether it’s possible, let me share something with you.?

It’s not only possible, it’s possible for YOU.??

Remember: whatever you are not changing, you are choosing.?

I’ve helped entrepreneurs, business owners, agency owners, and leaders choose the better way. They have seen the results and achieved this.?

And I want to help you too.?

Remember what Nelson Mandela once said: "It always seems impossible until it's done."
