The Importance of Focus When Building Your Business!

Have you ever had a business that you really wanted to make work but you lacked the focus to ever make it work?  Have you ever felt like you worked and worked and worked but you are not seeing the results of your labors?  Many times the cause is lack of FOCUS on the right activities.

We live in a world of multitasking. Tabbed browsing, multiple monitors, mobile phones text messaging, 500 channels of TV and the list goes on. A lot of time what we think we are doing is working but in reality we are unfocused on the important activities that really grow our business.

Here are a few tips to help you stay focused and get on the right track.

1. Set aside a specific time each day to work on building your business.

2. Write down your list of what you want to accomplish during that time.

3. Close down all your other browser windows except the task you are focused on.  Also turn off your phone & text messaging…and resist the temptation to check it every few minutes!

4. Only open up browser windows of what you are working on at the moment and then close them.

5. Always be evaluating yourself by asking the question. Is this activity growing my business or not?

Remember in any business you will be doing a lot of “Planting Seeds” and may not always see immediate results but if you stay focused on the right activities, you will soon find that your efforts will pay off big time.

As you’re marketing your business, there will be times when you’ll wonder whether what you are doing is working. Sometimes you’ll get immediate results, but most of the time it won’t happen that way. It’s important to be consistent in marketing. Often what you did weeks, months, or even years ago pays off. Marketing is not a one-time effort…it should become part of who you are! We can work with you to develop a marketing strategy for your business, whether in a local, regional, or international market.
