THINK ON IT: What deserves your attention tomorrow?
I bet you’ve got a “to-do” list a mile long. So many things you need to attend to right now.
But what deserves your attention tomorrow — and the day after that?
Are you putting out the same fires today that will come back around tomorrow? And then again the next day, like a scene right out of Groundhog Day?
Ask yourself, what’s the most important thing in my business to focus on?
It's simple neuroscience: focus creates awareness. You buy a new car and suddenly, it seems, there are so many more cars just like yours on the road. You didn't just ignite a fad, however. You ignited your focus.
So are you igniting your focus in the right direction? Are you not only putting out the right fires — hopefully once and for all — but building an organization that becomes a little more fireproof each day? One that allows your attention to reach farther into the future, not tending to issues stuck on repeat?
When you look at the things in your business that presently command your attention, ask yourself if they should. What are the truly important things that warrants your attention today — and tomorrow?
