How do you stay focused?

I watch motivational videos and reading books that teaches me something and/or inspire me

Its all about mindset i program my mind every night and morning also i follow napoleon hill think and grow rich

Me personally, I give my wife my credit card and send her shopping, so I can focus.

Believe me or not but physical exercise helps. Strong body, strong mind.

Every morning I do what I call "Emotional Manipulation". I will listen to YouTube videos on motivational speakers with powerful messages in the video playing. I listen to sleep hypnosis every night that programs my brain to be a success! I wake up and do my stretches and 200 pushups. This keeps the blood flowing and keeps a balance in life. I truly believe if you keep your mind, body, spirit in alignment then everything else comes smoothly. Vitamins and eating healthy is a big one too! Certain foods causes sluggish thinking. Eat guacamole, blueberries, and other health foods.

Entrepreneurship isn't supposed to be healthy, right?

Logout to facebook, Whatsapp and Focus on your main goal

1). Have a clear vision of the end result with a strong reason WHY.
2). Definite, measurable goals and milestones with deadlines.
3). Executable plan of action aligned with goals.
4). No excuses.

Once you have #1 in place, the rest is easy.
No need to waste any more time reading or listening to "motivational" BS.

I try to think about what I would do if I'm not doing what I would do now. Then I think of the consequences.

All the best,

Sasha.

I have to confess....

Other People's Income Statements!

Just typing it made me want to go work harder.

Hmm if you need all these bells and whistles, I'll say: You don't have a big enough Why.

It's easy to focus when you have that.

When Covid started I saw all the conventions and tradeshows in my industry shutting down. These folks depend on these meetups, and the 1:1 time that comes with them. Immediately I knew putting on a conference myself, a virtual one, was what I had to do. And I had the skills and experience to do it.

I was likely the first person to host one in that industry--people told me so--and many other followed the idea. That first decision gave me all the focus I needed. Instead of foundering around, wondering what to do, I had my clear idea. And execution--autoresponder, signup page, organizing speakers, taking payments, getting a paid moderator to run things with me, getting the webinar infrastructure together--all that was a natural outgrowth of the focus I had on the idea.

That focus gave me the organizing principle for my day. I was on a mission. For the three weeks preceding the event, that was what I was doing. All the energy I had supported this one idea.

I say: if you don't have focus, you don't feel confident in pursuing an idea. Better work on that first. Then the focus comes naturally.

The question seems very simple but is very complex. The biggest issue is it depends on a person. A thing which motivates me may not motivate other person. I think the best is to start with just say 3 things which motivates you like for me its traveling and traveling needs money. Also it is much easier if you really enjoy what you do for example if you are in internet marketing just for the sake of money it won't take much time to get demotivated and then you will leave it.

Hello,


I cut off all distractions and detractors and get to work.

I work in short 30 to 45 minute bursts

I then 'recharge' my focus by reading stuff that relaxes me while containing info that can help my business

Then I get back to work on the next burst

Looking at similar people in my niche of work and check out their posts/success. Also motivational pages etc they just give me a boost. Music actually can help me depending on what I have to do.

I am listening to subliminals on youtube.
They give me extreme motivation and focus to do what I need to do.


I am not sure if it is allowed to post youtube links here, the headline from the one which works great for me is this one:


Motivation To Get Things Done - Subliminal Message Session - By Thomas Hall


Apart from that I also have a morning routine including meditation, reading and sports.
This helps to start the day right and never lose focus

Five ways to harness your determination and stay focused:
- Set up your day the night before.
- Do the most difficult things first.
- Eliminate distractions and time-wasters.
- Regenerate and keep up your energy.
- Constantly remind yourself of your ultimate goals.

Imagine your dream first before you start doing your task.

Imagine the happiness and the positive result when you finish that task.

In that way, it can help you focus on what you are doing because you know your WHY.

Hope this helps.

I use lists and planners, set
a timer for certain tasks, and
keep strict track of my time
(but not always since I am
not a robot). I stay motivated
by setting goals and the rest
of what I do are proprietary
trade secrets.

If you work a full-time job but are working on your business on the side, my recommendation is to decide the night before the ONE thing you need to accomplish in your business the next day so that you will feel like you actually did something productive on it.

Oftentimes this will motivate you to do that thing first (which could mean waking up early before your day job) and as you string these daily productive tasks together, your business, and skill set naturally grows.

I read daily so that amplifies my mind .Prioritizing what is and what's not important helps me get things done alot faster

Guided meditation and mindfulness training regularly can help a lot to keep your mind focused. Ten minutes before sleep and 10 minutes after you wake up will do a wonder. Do it for few weeks and see the results. Make it a habit and daily routine for long term effect.

Private and quite room or place with super high speed internet. That's all I need.

I have access to mindset training in the group I am involved with, which has helped me massively.

Then ultimately, every day I think about where I want to be in life and that is free from relying on a wage from an employer! That keeps me moving forward

Need to have a Daily To Do List!
Put a Weekly Target
Reward yourself weekly based on your achievement.
If the achievement is short of your Target, then it will be a working weekend.
Finally Take one Project at time. Not more until you finished your target.

I always listen to motivational speech on youtube that motivates me to work more and I also read case study to start a new thing.

What I like to do to stay motivated is to start working and play music from my favorite artists on Spotify. Also watching motivational videos on YouTube if I'm feeling low energy. The dream won't work if you don't work!

Focus on one thing singlemindedness is what you need now till you reach that goal:

As others have said, excercise is a big one, any excercise, it helps me refocus and remain focus throughout the day afterwords. I find yoga has similar effects, though I generally do both.

I find meditation is another ace in the sleeve, nothing too fancy, just getting comfortable on a cushion and focusing on my breath for five minutes or so helps to quickly refocus and maintain perspective.

For something more mentally stimulating and less physically involved, I think it depends what drives you personally. The pursuit of wealth, lust, providing for your family, anything that can light that fire under your belly. As mentioned in the post, motivational speakers fit this line very well but I believe the important thing is to really zero in on what it your goals are and what you're actually working towards.

Focus on that one thing and see it through till accomplished, don't give up on it when your first tries flop

The real simple way to stay focussed is to have a big enough reason to succeed.

I call this 'Having a WHY that will make you CRY!'

Your driving reason for doing your business should be more than just making money. It should be about your lifes mission, something you are passionate about. It could be your kids, your wife a good cause or similar.

That's how I stay on track

Read a book. Then listen to some classical music and finally listen to some relaxation music. These steps will help you to clam yourself and to focus what you have to do. While relaxing you will get ideas to do the work ahead not them down mentally.

ONLY KEEP THE ESSENTIALS ON MY DESK WHILE WORKING.

I attend master classes, webinars, and more and see what other people have achieved. And I ask myself "Am I worse than them? - I can do it too"

1.Minimize multitasking.
2. Exercise regularly.
3. Establish a to-do list.
4. Try a small amount of caffeine.
5. Take breaks.
6. Keep work at work.
7. Train your brain to focus.

1. Set up 3 intentions I need to have accomplished by the end of the day, every day.
2. Prioritise all my tasks and make sure I'm not wasting time on tasks that aren't necessary.
3. Regularly remind myself of my goals.
4. Exercise at least 3 times a week.
5. Read a lot of books and articles on productivity.
6. Make sure I have ways that work to remove procrastination.

Forget where I heard about it (perhaps in "Breakthrough Advertising"), but I've found the Eugene Schwartz method dividing the work day into chunks of of "25 minutes of uninterrupted work, 5 minute reprieve" both very simple to implement (just requires a timer) and effective.

It is too easy watching YouTube videos when you really should be marketing your business. I follow a daily "to-do" - list where I have tasks I need to complete that day. Also, taking breaks once in a while also helps. I also like to go on a walk daily.

Great information here. Thank you! best router table

Try to remember the bigger WHY behind your actions. I would even suggest to have more than one big WHY. One why for your higher self, when you are already in high motivation and energy to push you to be focused and use it. One for your lets call it middle self, where your ego just wants money to spend or luxury or something nice. And one why for your lower self where it is all about validation, status from others for example. So have different levels of motivations / motives / why, so you can motivate and push yourself on different levels of your personality/ego states.

For me, the best way to stay focused is to rest every 60 minutes for 5-10 minutes to help recharge and restore clear thinking.

When I am getting demotivated. I Just See my parents. I see their efforts on what they have done for me.
This Thing motivated me a lot and always.
That is the secret of my motivation

The Pomodoro Method helps me a lot to focus. I also take various vitamins and nutritional supplements to help me focus and feel as vigorous as possible while completing certain tasks at work or school. One of the important nutritional supplements I take is melatonin. This food supplement is a natural sleep growth hormone and helps me to get maximum rest at night, gain energy to complete my tasks during the day. On the site https://www.vitaminexpress.org/uk/melatonin-supplements, I most often order melatonin at a low price. You can also read here for more information on the importance of melatonin.

Great question!

Your strong WHY will help you motivated. Build a dream board and put it on the wall in the room you are the most of the time.

I always upgread my dream board. Also books helps me motivated. I read book about mindset, financial goals.

Have a great day

Listen to good music + drink a good shot of espresso.
