Kick-Start Your Priority Focus

At a conference earlier this year, I was handed a copy of Les Hewitt's "Power of Focus" workbook, an awesome little spiral bound book that contains dozens of exercises to help individuals FOCUS in on goals, and not just any goals, but the right ones. Hewitt is the co-author with Jack Canfield and Mark Victor Hansen of The Power of Focus (more info at thepoweroffocus.ca).
There's a section in the workbook called "Kick-Start Your Priority Focus" that struck me as exactly fitting the bill for December, when we're all trying to squeeze in last-minute, year-end business and still find time for holiday madness - parties, decorations, gift lists, and, if you've really got it going on, relaxation and maybe even a little joy too.
Here's Les' list to rev up your focus:
1. Say no.
2. Delegate more effectively.
3. Communicate better.
4. Set well-defined boundaries.
5. Let go (do you really need to know all the details?)
6. Think more about targets and goals.
7. Plan and prioritize each week.
8. Reflect one hour each week. (Such good advice!)
9. Celebrate your victories
Trying to do everything on the list at once may be a tall order. And you may already being some of these things well. But I bet each of us could incorporate a couple of the items and really feel the rewards, right away. Where are you weakest? I'll be working on delegation, as usual, and letting go. For many of us who care deeply about the work we do, giving up control of the details is a real challenge. That's why it's so important to surround ourselves, at work and at home, with people we trust completely to get the job done.
Warmest,
Keith

Leanne Hoagland-SmithAre your sales where you want them to be? Will you be one of the few who achieves sales or business success or one of the many who have failed to change? Are you tired of being told you are like everyone else? Then you may find my first book on sales of interest. Be the Red Jacket in the Sea of Gray Suits, The Keys to Unlocking Sales available at Amazon or at http://www.processspecialist.com/red-jacket.htm. This book is a reflection of my no-nonsense approach to improving sales to overall business results. If you are truly committed to making sustainable changes, then I can help you secure a positive return on your investment because I focus on executable solutions not telling you the problems you already know you have. From training to corporate (group) coaching to executive one on one coaching, my approach is to assess, create awareness, build a goal driven action plan and then execute. The bottom line question is "Not do you or your employees know it, but do you or they want to do it?" Please call for a free strategy session at 219.759.5601. - Visit Leanne Hoagland-Smith's Website |
