I was talking with a client who is a super successful Business Development guy with unparalleled expertise in his field. Seriously, he’s one of a kind and at the top of his game.
Yet, like many of us, he’s having a hard time staying on task and getting what he wants to get done, done.
In a world of constant change and distractions, how do you stay on course?
You focus on your top priorities. You create boundaries with your schedule and with people. You monitor your thoughts and emotions so they are positive and don’t run on the fear track. You make discipline your mantra.
The truth is, sometimes we can control what’s going on around us, sometimes not. Here are some things you have control over:
👉 You can turn off devices or notifications when you’re working on a deadline
👉 You can create blocks of time on your calendar to get things done
👉 You can respond to texts twice a day – rather than 100
👉 You can minimize time on social media and how often you read/listen to news
👉 You can discipline your thoughts so they are “CAN DO” vs. “CAN NOT”
👉 You can make your goals a priority over those of others – YES you can
