FOCUS focus!

As you may have seen, I've not been blogging much recently, one reason is a bereavement in the family, this naturally has taken the wind from my sails. Another reason is that I have been practicing what I preach in that I've been focusing on writing promotional material for my children's entertainer project.

I realised that I have been spreading myself too thinly and that I need to focus my energy onto this one project. Being of an artistic/creative nature, it is difficult for me to stay focussed on just one thing! However, after listening to some Brian Tracy recordings- I realise I really need to focus hard in one area to progress.

For those of you setting out on the journey to add to or entirely replace your day job income with another form of income, focus is absolutely key. The internet is an amazing tool, but, being so vast and so full of interesting distractions it can sap all your valuable time and blur your focus.

Similarly, if you pressurise yourself too much and end of avoiding a task then feeling guilty ad infinitum. Take away the pressure and just spend 5 minutes on the task- you will very probably find that the process of doing something leads you to do more. It's a fact that frequently, motivation follows action.

So, clarify what it is you really want and keep clarifying this each day until you have one specific goal- do this on paper, it wont work if you try to do this in your head. Then really focus on all the ways you can make this goal a reality- again , do this on paper and make a file just for this project which you refer to daily.







MAGIC MONEY!
