There's great power in focusing on what you want. Seems like such an obvious statement, yet most of us miss it. Dreams can come true. You can get to a place called 'extraordinary' in your career.
You can find love deeper than you've ever imagined. You can realise world-class vitality and find lasting fulfilment. But you need focus. The person who tries to do everything accomplishes nothing. Most people try to be all things to everyone. And so they end up nothing to anyone. Confucius nailed the point: "Person who chases two rabbits catches neither." Big idea.
What you focus on grows. What you concentrate on is what you see more of in your life. Think about that line. Focus on financial mastery, and you'll see your economic life improve. Focus on being more loving and your relationships will improve. Focus on your physical dimension by exercising and following a superb diet and your health will improve.
Focus. Focus. Focus. That's what the best of best do. Tunnel vision around their biggest 'To Do's'. They stick to their knitting rather than scattering their brilliance.
A few months ago I had dinner with a billionaire client of mine. I asked him what was the single best thing he did to get to his financial mastery. "I made this goal my sole reference point," came the instant reply.
Back to Jon Bon Jovi. From what I can tell, he's still around and doing great because he had an idea about what his music would be and where he could take it, and then he stayed focussed on the mission.
I've heard he's faced some tough times (join the club). But he didn't give up. He didn't play victim. He remained strong and on course. He stayed true to his fans and himself.
