Want To Win? Focus is Crucial

Consulting
Written By Rick Watson

Focus!  If you describe what challenges you are trying to solve in the next 6 months, how can you know if you are laser-focused? 

One measure I have is can you describe your goals without using the word "and".  The number of "and's" in your vision will really let you know if you can.

HERE'S MINE: IN THE NEXT 6 MONTHS I AM LOOKING TO BUILD OUT THE SET OF SERVICES I CAN PROVIDE GROWING COMPANIES. 

How's that?

As an entrepreneur, you only have so many hours in the day.  You have a million things you need to do.  But in terms of what is strategic for your business, there is likely only 1 major thing that if it is not done in the next 6 months you will truly regret it.

What's that thing for you?
