One Theme Equals Momentum and Success

“So what are your plans for next year?”, I asked a student the other day. He looked down, sighed, looked back up and said “Well, I’m going to work on a book, finish my real estate education, keep attending your teleclasses, work on my marketing plan, and… “

I’d heard it a hundred thousand times, mostly from the creative, attention deficit entrepreneurs and small business owners I work with on a regular basis.“WAIT!” I interrupted. How can you focus on so many things at one time? Multitasking without a common reason is NOT the answer.” “Oh, but I’m a really good multitasker!” he replied. I took a deep breath. If he was such a great multitasker, then why wasn’t he achieving the level of success he wanted?

All successful people know this – FOCUS is the key to success. One thing at a time. One purpose at a time. Finish one and go on to the next. That kind of focus is almost impossible in today’s hectic, information-overloaded world.

Instead, we work ourselves so hard and don’t give ourselves the time or effort it takes to really be successful. So many people get just to the TIP of success and then WHAM! – fall right down the mountain, exhausted, convinced that the principles of success somehow aren’t meant for them.

It’s not fair.

And it doesn’t have to be that way. If you’re creative and have multiple irons in the fire, so to speak, multiple projects and things you’re working on – you can gain great momentum and success with those projects IF you follow one simple rule.
