Another Dose of Focus

Thank you for your feedback on last week's newsletter - it looks like continually focusing on value adding activities is important to us all.

One query that I received was; Anton, how do I really create and maintain my focus?

To address this query, I want to take you through a process that you can use yourself any time that you are faced with a challenge, and you are having trouble getting on top of it...

Now, this will only take a few minutes, and you can either think this through, or you can actually take out a pen and write.

Firstly, get comfortable, and relaxed. Now:

Step 1: Imagine an obstacle or challenge you are facing.....

Step 2: Ask yourself the following questions: 
 
Question 1:  How could I solve this challenge if I remembered all the creativity I already have?

Question 2:  What would I do if I used my imagination right now to take up this opportunity to focus and complete this task?

Question 3:  What would a person I know and respect suggest I do at this moment?

Question 4:  What would I do if I was going to do something to take up this opportunity right at this moment?

Now, if you ask yourself these questions, and you get the right answers, and you take action immediately, you cannot lose focus. You will have a clear course of action, you will be guided by our own intuition and you will get great results – what are you waiting for.

See, there is power in questions, especially when you are in the right frame of mind to answer them. Use these questions any time you are faced with a challenge (or opportunity).

Until next time, keep living your dreams.
