Want to Succeed? Get Focused, Directed, Clear & Committed!

Yeah I think getting focused in one thing and become successful on that specific thing is very important....A lot of people who is beginning their business normally try to cover a lot of things and they end up not taking care anything at all....

Yes be clear....have in mind what do you think you are going to get....Have your goals in your mind, but Remember to always have GOALS in Life. But never forget that those goals are NOT your real GOALS, but Tools, Dreams, and Driving Forces that let you find the Road of YOUR TRUE PROSPERITY

Great points! And remember noobies, Keep it Simple! The more complex the idea, the more chances it has to crumble and fail.

This one is informative post.

here's a fun way of looking at FOCUS: Follow One Course Until Successful.

Problem is of course that in practice it's easier said than done.

For most people it's not the lack of desire or the fear alone, but something that's called "ambivalence":

if your desire to make money online and your fears or desire to do stuff that's not compatible with making money online (like going to rock-concerts all the time) are EQUAL (or the non-money-making stuff outweighs the desire to make money online), then you have no chance in hell of ever making it.

Desire to make money online 10 out of 10? Awesome, but not good enough if your desire to do other stuff (or your deep down anxieties) are 10 out of 10 too.

The big problem is that a lot of people see the potential of what's possible, then engage in some glorified success fantasies (totally normal, we all do it) and then when results don't come in fast, start getting overwhelmed and lose focus.

So: get clear on how badly you want this (just like Steve says above), i.e. how much desire you have, but then also check how badly you want to go to the pub and how "afraid" you are to be salesy, how "afraid" you are of "failing" (reality is: even for the successful, the majority of projects are NOT raging successes!), how "afraid" you are of ....

All the best

Good advice, especially on the internet since you are your own master. I definitely intend to focus more this year and keep a strong mental image of what I am aiming for. If you can attach strong emotions to your desires you can keep going when others give up.

I don't have any opinion to add here further since all has been said, but will just share one thing which helps me and that is some breathing exercise something like yoga. It may sound odd but that's just what helps me to focus and removes unwanted anxiety ...

I guess having a daily, weekly, monthly, quarterly goals is important. Without a plan, you are just planning to fail. Alot of times, we know what to do, but most often than not, we don't know how to do it.

Great post Steve and a powerful thread.

Getting focused gives you power because concentrating on 1 thing to the exclusion of all else eliminates the enticing options that diminish your power.

Getting clear creates magical effects. I went through a shift recently where I became entirely clear on one area of my life. The universe responded immediately with some wonderful opportunities, as it always does.

Thanks for sharing.
