The Relationship Between Focus & Success

In today's world and especially among the women I work, with it is not a question of coming up with what to do, it is a question of which one of these million thing to focus on. Today we are proficient multi-taskers with limited attention spans. Eager and excited to do everything we find ourselves juggling 10, 11 or even 20 balls in the air at one time.

In answer to this I ask;
how many balls can you juggle, consistently, without dropping one?

Focus is powerful and a key component to your success.

To illustrate my point visualize you are sitting at your computer. You open up outlook check your e-mail, click on one, perhaps an invitation to "Break Thru Your Invisible Barrier to Success" which peeks your curiosity. When you get there it offers a free PDF on defining success and you click to download it. While it is downloading you put a CD in and itunes opens up so you can listen. Then a balloon pops up saying you have updates for itunes would you like to upload them now? What the hell, why not you think and click yes. You then log into your newsletter program to finish up your monthly newsletter, the reason you are at the computer in the first place. It's going really slowly as it loads so you decided to go into my documents and open up a word document on "Breaking Thru to Success" to quote in the newsletter. You click on my documents and go completely blank. Looking down at the toolbar you see you have 10 programs open, the computer is going really slow and you have absolutely no idea why you are in my documents. Sound familiar?

Opportunities are like candy, too much of a good thing can make you sick. So going back to the original question: How many balls can you juggle, consistently, without dropping one.

Multi-tasking wastes a lot of time. When you slow down your computer and overload your mind you spend a lot of time repeating things you've already done, waiting for the computer to respond, forgetting to do things and not doing things to your full potential.

Do you want to be a master juggler of 3 balls or a bad or mediocre juggler of 10? You decide.
