FOCUS


 WHAT IS FOCUS?

Focus is a critical element - the power many of us overlook, ignore, and side-track; yet capable of actually changing the equation of our life for the better. In this article, I shall tinker with highlighting how focus determines our future as well as helping us to create our fortune(s).
To gain access in life, you do not necessarily need a bunch of keys. You only need the right key for the right door. In essence, you do not need too many keys like a janitor experimenting and/or going through a trial-and –error process, dissipating your energy, mental resource(s), intellectual capability, emotion(s), social capital, economic power, and ability to grant favours. What you need is to fully pour your attention and devote your resources in a certain direction to deploy with specificity, determination, and ‘power’ for the door you are zero-ing on to open; or, shall be opened and, also, the barriers shall be broken down and be consumed with the power of your ‘focus-ing’. Please, understand that your desire should be: to be the master at a specific thing and not just a mediocre at many things.

Incontrovertibly, it is extremely critical and essential for us to focus our emotional, physical, and mental ‘energies’ on one thing we are sure of possess the potential of transcending our lives, than dissipating our energy and mental fortitude on numerous options. The truth about excellence and achievement is not what you are doing; but, it is, ultimately, how well. The overarching question, then is not about how much efforts you are putting into doing something; but, in the end, how well (or better) are you doing it?


Research has shown that it is better to be a superb specialist than is a sloppy generalist.

  • A Specialist is someone who knows a lot about a specific area.
  • A Generalist is someone who knows a little about many areas.

In effect, a specialist is an expert in a chosen field of endeavour. Therefore, s/he is able to generate ideas faster and with penetrating results about the specific area s/he has mastered, while a generalist has his/her fingers on many pies, wherefore s/he is a mediocre at diverse fields of endeavour. Thus, they are generally regarded as “jack of all trades” and, invariably, a master of none. Of course, in social life, we need both of them. However, when it comes to the area of your career, you need to be wholly focused to be productive at whatever you find yourself doing in order to develop a commensurate traction and build a magnificent edifice that is noble and admirable while, also, commanding the attention of people.

LEARNING FROM CHAMPIONS- The Inspiring Story Of Peter J. Daniels

Image
Born in Australia, his parents were third-generation welfare recipients used to being poor. Peter attended elementary school in Adelaide. Because of a learning disability, he found it difficult to understand and assemble words. Consequently he was labeled stupid by teachers who were either too busy or didn't care enough to find out why he struggled. One teacher in particular, Miss Phillips, would make Peter stand in front of the class where she would berate him with, "Peter Daniels, you're a bad boy and you'll never amount to anything". Of course this did nothing for his self-esteem. As a result, he failed every grade in school. One of his earliest career choices was to become a bricklayer.

6 FOUNDATIONAL HABITS FOR WEALTH BUILDING

Hence, the need for you to handle money with intelligence and intention. With that in mind, let's look at the six foundation habits that will help ease your financial pressures as we round up our course on finance management. 1. Develop a Positive Attitude about Money. Attitude is important when it comes to money. In fact, attitude is the driving force in your subconscious mind. Attitude shapes your self-talk and ultimately your financial reality. If you constantly say to yourself, "I'm broke, I'm broke", your subconscious mind hears these negative words and sets up your actions to be consistent with the message. If instead it hears, "I'm building wealth, I'm building wealth", it sets up your actions to become a wealth builder. These messages are sent to your brain and are heard as absolute truth whether they ...
