Stay Focused & Keep Moving Forward
It’s so easy to be distracted by noise — whether it’s nonstop emails, texts, or just media in general. Information never stops flowing to us.
Your ability to keep that noise at bay and focus on what you want to accomplish is vital to keeping your business or organization moving toward your goals or milestones.
The first things you might want to think about as you continue to build momentum are the main goals that you want to accomplish by the end of the year, being aware that they might change or be modified as you continue your path. Focusing on the goal and what needs to be done to achieve it becomes important.
You’ve heard us say — more than once — that there is a difference between a strategy and a tactic.
Focusing on the higher level of the business is a strategy. Finding someone to do it, or delegating portions of the work would be tactics. The main thing is that you stay focused on the goal and are not distracted by whether that new hire is working out or not.
Staying focused becomes vital especially in times like this, when the noise is getting louder and louder.
