FOCUS
ZONEWritten by David Lanre Messan
Get into the 'FOCUS ZONE’As an entrepreneur, it is imperative you consider certain salient features,
characteristics or behaviours as part of your success strategy. Examples of
such features are hard work, knowledge, love, luck, money, leadership,
attitude, innovation, focus and so on. My emphasis today will be on
F-O-C-U-S.
In business, and to eventually succeed, an entrepreneur needs a good
dose of focus multiplied by attitude which is usually 100% by calculation.
The reason for this is that where focus goes, energy flows and as an
entrepreneur, if you don't take the time to focus on what matters, then
you are living a life of someone else's design. That is to say, that which you
think about expands – therefore, develop the habit of always focusing on
what you want not on what you don't want.
As a business person or entrepreneur, you have the power to focus
but unfortunately only a few of us really do. Despite the various
demands being made by images, sounds, feelings, people and
experiences all around us, you still have to take control and be in
charge by having a single eye system known as focus. You have to
stop the insanity caused by distractions by putting a stake in the
ground for what you want for your life and business today.
Quickly, I will share with you eleven focus strategies that will help you achieve
real results and real success:
· Have well defined goals – write them down as deadlines.
· Break the big goals into tasks – this makes life easier and business
to manage.
· Prioritize constantly – do what you should be doing and don't get
crowded with too many intentions.
· Track your progress – Check on a weekly basis if your eyes are still
single on the set goals and tasks
· Be persistent – focused entrepreneurs are persistent strivers. Even
when they fail, they don't look back.
· Disconnect for Nowness – focused entrepreneurs are those that live
life in order of importance: Real-life first, and then Virtual life – so
don't hide behind the keyboard in the name of browsing.
· Focus on people not personas – The entrepreneurs that dominate the
online world are those that don't live on twitter or facebook. Many of
them usually cut off internet access most of the time, neither are they
tied to their blackberry. They simply dominate the offline world and yet
control the online world.
· Break away and go back to the basics – when it comes down to crunch
time, the focused entrepreneur doesn't mess around. You must know
when to jack and when to play, get back into your “focus zone”.
· Have positive patterns in your routine – even when you are down,
exude happy feelings, a feeling of positivity must become your daily
meal.
· Reward yourself – always motivate yourself with a “happy hour bottle”
whenever you achieve a task or a goal.
· Say, “I am a Focused Entrepreneur” – tell it to your
family, friends, colleagues and anyone who cares to
listen. Share your progress on your goals, that way you
get back to your “Focus Zone”.
In conclusion, your attitude towards everything gives
you an edge. Give focus the right attitude, and your
business and life will flourish. Sometimes, focus could
be being sensitive to even setbacks as when we look
around, we look straight ahead. Sometimes, we look
up but rarely do we look down. We miss so much that
is right under our nose.
Thank You for Reading. Be the Change. Live by Innovation. Act the Words.
Now, get back into your “FOCUS ZONE”.
