Are you a proud multi-tasker?
If your answer to that question is “yes,” the power of focus is probably eluding you.
To focus means to concentrate attention or energy on something.
Focus requires discipline. Focus doesn’t happen by chance.
Without the ability to focus, to concentrate on your goals, your chances of bringing your goals to fruition are slim.
Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen, of Chicken Soup for the Soul fame, are two of the co-authors of the book, The Power of Focus. In the introduction, the authors note: “Remember, it’s all about focus. The main reason most people struggle professionally and personally is lack of focus.”
In an interview with Entrepreneur magazine, John Osher, serial entrepreneur, cites lack of focus as one of the most common mistakes that causes start-ups to fail: “Many entrepreneurs go in too many directions at once and do not execute anything well.”
The ability to focus is mandatory if you are to achieve your goals. Personal goals or professional goals. It doesn’t matter. The bottom line: winning requires that you focus or you will lose.
