Before you hit play, I want to introduce this video to you.
It’s not brand new in terms of when I recorded it, but the message in it is still 100% central and paramount to just about everything I teach here. In fact, you’re even getting a sneak peak at what will be included in the upcoming video training that we’ve got scheduled for mid-November.
Anyway…
This short video is pulled out of the bonus section of my flagship training, The Focus Course. So when you watch it, realize that it’s a little bit out of context, but that’s okay. I wanted to share this with you because the video still totally stands on its own.
Check it out to get an excellent overview of why you need a focused life and how vision and clarity fit into the big picture of everything else.
Plus… you’ll also get some high-level perspective about things that you may not be thinking about, even if you already feel “focused”.
Why Does This Matter?
As you may have read in your results page yesterday, by far and away, the most common point of frustration I hear from people is two-fold:
- They don’t know how best to be using their time to do the things that are most important to them. (i.e. they lack clarity)
-
Even if they did know, their schedule is completely full and they don’t know where to find the time. (i.e. they do not feel in control of their time and energy)
You’re here because you know you’ve got awesome work you want to do. You have something valuable to share with the world. You have friends and family you want to build thriving relationships with. Your best work, your best ideas, and your best relationships are all still ahead of you.
Your Takeaway
Living with diligence and focus is not a personality type — it’s a skill. And since it’s a skill, it means you can learn it.
Today, I want you to change your mind. Change your mind about how you think of a life vision, and how you think of your own life.
Start by telling yourself you can change. Because you can. You can get a vision for your life. You can get clarity get better at how you focus your time and energy.
Again, think about the most accomplished and the most successful people that you know. Do you notice how they always seem to know what’s next for them? They’ve got something that they are working towards.
There’s a confidence that isn’t just a personality type. It’s a confidence that is based in experiential knowledge. This inner peace that comes from having direction and knowing where you’re going and having a plan for how to get there.
To grow in your new skill of living with focus and clarity means that you have to practice (like any other skill).
Soon we’ll dive into what that sort of practice looks like.
Talk again soon,
