New Weapon, New Level

I hope I'm writing early enough to get ahead of the often-misdirecting New Year resolutions. Don't get me wrong. Resolutions are great, especially if they help you think about the changes that you want to make in your life that will lead you to more of what you want, both personally and professionally.

Honestly though, how long do people stick to their resolutions? One week? One month? Research has shown that by the 14th of February most resolutions set in the first week of January are a distant memory, and people have settled back into their previous behaviours. That's because it’s devilishly difficult to change. Period!

So, I want to offer a different approach, which has worked for me and hundreds of clients who I have taught to do this simple thing:

Focus.

Aww, are you disappointed? "She’s talking about focus. What’s new or interesting about that?"

Focus is one of the hardest things to achieve in the 21st century. The world, and especially the business climate, is extremely noisy, there’s the fear of FOMO (fear of missing out) and there’s new things constantly popping up that can make you feel like the world is leaving you behind.

All these factors, and more, contribute to the huge lack of focus I often witness in my clients, and indeed myself, a lot of the time.

On January 1st, 2019, I decided to revisit the techniques I knew on improving focus. Last year was unbelievable for my business (I increased revenue 7X); and me personally, in terms of confidence, relationships, and generally becoming the leader in my life again. 

I have created a detailed step-by-step guide that will move your career or business to new levels in 2020. I give highlights below. To read the full article, visit my website Augment Results here.

1. Build strong, lasting habits - If you've ever tried to change a behaviour, you know that it can be extremely challenging sometimes. Sometimes it works - no problem. Other times, it can be a monumental task. Take the guess work out of behavioural change. I take you through how you can build habits that stick.
2. Take Warren Buffet's sage advice in order to improve your focus in 2020. Warren Buffet is a doyen in the financial/investment world, and has consistently made stellar returns to his Berkshire Hathaway investors year on year. If he does this, perhaps you should too.
3. Decide on the systems you can create/utilise to focus more on what matters. I say the word 'systems' to some of my clients, and I can see their eyes glaze over (Uzo, I have no clue what you're talking about) or they start to quake as the thought of implementing systems fills them with dread. It's not that hard and I will get your there, I promise.

There you have it. Three weapons to bring you more success in your business and or career in 2020.
