This week I’ve had several clients struggling to get focused. Probably you share their drive to avoid distractions and effectively control your attention. There’s the companion question of what is the most important thing to focus on, which we’ll touch on. Why not take 2 minutes with me in this blog to boost your ability to focus.
How Can You Increase Your Focus?
Businesses are tailor made to destroy your focus. One very talented client, after two unsuccessful runs at it, determined to get skilled consulting help on her third attempt to launch a successful business. She knows she’s got to get focused — or else!
In analyzing what a business needs to achieve success, I do a quick analysis of three main areas. You might do this for your business or career as a first step to help you to get focused:
- Do you need more business?
- Do you need to get more productive?
- Do you need to get better organized?
There are whole bodies of management tools for each of these areas and plenty of statistics that reveal weaknesses in them. In her case, it was #1 above. Exploring that further, it was apparent that she had a LOT of things going for her and she was far more on-track than one would expect. So, what was missing?
Focus.
Losers Spray, Winners Focus
There are SO MANY THINGS TO DO. Which do you focus on? She was taking the approach I see frequently these days. She was doing a little of everything, trying to cover all the bases. What did I do?
I made her focus on the ONE THING that will move the needle and that will result in a successful business.
Distractions, Inc.
There are tons of distractions online. One of my clients this week stayed up till 4:00 AM following this and that endless trail on the web, and as a result, was a very unhappy camper. She was then trying to run a business on too little sleep and feeling splattered but good.
This had the undesirable effect of creating a considerable upset with herself, which makes it even harder to focus.
Here we had to utilize a magic tool called a Danger Condition that helps a person overcome bad habits and reassert their ability to focus.
There are many tools I use to address this area of focus on what’s actually important, rather than the latest Facebook scandal.
