Live Your Joy - Focus on the Goal

Every day brings new adventures, new opportunities and of course new worries. Many times we fail to see the first two because our worries seem to be more dominate stealing us of our joy. 

I know it is not always easy to keep your worries at bay but ther is an old saying that goes like this:

 "Never borrow from the future. If you worry about what may happen tomorrow and it doesn't happen, you have worried in vain. Even if it does happen, you have to worry twice."

This doesn't mean you have to not think of tomorrow for only failure can result if you do not. Be a tomorrow thinker and not a worrier. Understand your situation and focus on what it takes to correct and get back on track.

Your time is limited here so don't waste it. To understand more about being a tomorrow thinker, read the article at http://www.infoworthsharing.com/a-14.html

Enjoy and live your joy.

Do Your Ideas Die?

When you get a new idea, somthing that you think will propell your business to a higher level or simply improve on a process, do you act on it or does your idea simply fade away and die?

If it dies, then here is a good way to keep it alive. This is not rocket science now and most people do not do this. The ones that do are those you see in the front running of their business.

So what's the simple technique to keep your ideas alive?

Write them down and post them where you can see them. duh...

If you see your new idea everyday, then chances are you will act on it and it can become a point of leverage for your business.

What's your new idea? Write it down.

Focus On Results

I'm sure you have heard the term "multi-tasking" and you probably think it is a very productive way to achieve results. I have found that you will achieve results but they will be far below your overall objective.

Say you are working on just three projects at the same time. You work for a couple hours on one, then a bit on the second, and finally a few minutes on the third project. Even though you made progress on each, none of them are complete.

Had you focused on results and taken the most important project and put the same amount of time into it that you put into all three, chances are you could have finished it therefore greater results faster.

By focusing on results is sort of like a small child learning to walk. First they learn to roll over, then they can sit up on their own, next they learn to pull up holding to an object and finally they walk.

Some times you do have to have more than one project going on at the same time but I encourage you to "focus on results" and work to finish one project before moving to the next. You can be assured you will have greater results.

Enjoy...Ocha
