I have a bit of a curse and blessing.
I can become focused on a specific task for a short period, and I can also lose Focus on a long-term project.
It's one of the reasons I have set myself the goal of creating material every day for 90 days.
Today is day 84! Yay for me. This time next week, I will be able to celebrate.
That will be 90 days of content shared across

Throughout my career, I have had many different businesses.
Some of them failed, and some of them were successful.
The level of Focus you have will not only affect the outcome of your business but will also impact how you feel about your performance.
It's easy to get distracted when you are in business. However, you will undoubtedly have many new ideas, especially when things are going well.
You might even think you have enough success and momentum in your first project that you could quickly start another.
You may start something completely new, add another product, or create a new offer.
Not only will this take time and energy away from your first business, but what about when things go wrong when you hit any number of road bumps?
It would be great if every business were a Nike swoosh of acceleration, growth, and profit. Still, you will have problems with
suppliers, staffing, cash flow, and fulfilment. Unfortunately, that is a reality for many businesses. Scaling requires a massive amount of attention, funding, and Focus.
But what about when the business, team industry economy is going through a rollercoaster of ups, and downs, corkscrews pirouettes and collapses?
You need to maintain Focus. Focus on one single outcome will significantly increase your chance of success.
How many yachts can you captain at once?
Make sure you can safely and healthily operate your business. This includes taking full responsibility for all of it.
Here are my top five tips
1. Outline a defined period where you will solely focus on one goal, 90 days, or 180 days. There will be times when you need to stay the course, primarily through tough times, build up some callouses and become comfortable with pain.
2. Identify your distractions and use a strategy to get past them—the shiny object syndrome.
3. Outsource what you can and leverage other people's expertise and experience.
4. Task management v Task excellence once you have excelled in that task, you will more than likely
5. How will you measure your success and progress?
