The glue that holds a goal in place. An insurance policy on your journey to success.

A message from Sandy. What exactly is focus? It could be described as simply a goal in your mind’s eye of something you want. Your focus may be spelled in CAPITAL LETTERS to you, how about your team? Do they know what to focus on?  Focus is the equivalent of Moby Dick in a goldfish bowl—to powerful to ignore.

A successful focus is based on the concept of singularity. Your goal must create in your mind both the perception and reality of importance. The most important aspect of focus it single-mindedness. Everything you do moves you closer or further from your goals. If everything you think, say, and do moves you toward your goal, then everything requires focus! Focus creates a powerful force–goal power. This is the basis of the book “10 Rules for Achieving Success,” by Gary Ryan Blair.

The moment you focus on a goal, your goal becomes a magnet, pulling you and your resources toward it. The more focused your energies, the more power you generate. There is a noticeable shift that takes place when you move from decisiveness to focus. The shift is caused, enhanced, and accelerated by the intensity of your focus. Focus is like plugging into a power source all its own.

Two elements that should be joined at the hip, are decision and focus. They feed off each other. Decision makes focus possible, and focus makes decision easier. The moment you energize a goal with focus it will be as if the train you are riding has switched tracks, now going in the right direction at a high rate of speed.

We are all vulnerable, it’s easy to lose focus. Accept the hard fact that you must repeatedly recover your focus. A brief loss of focus is a minor derailment, but if not regained rapidly, a loss of focus could mean a train wreck. Focus, readjust, and realign–a recipe for great achievement.

Guard your focus, determine not to be distracted. Without focus, you lose your way….enthusiasm disappears.. goals become faded aspirations. Every opportunity competes for your time and focus, where will you allocate yours?
