Focus, Focus, Focus!

Wow! Every time I turn around lately I talk to someone or see a situation unfolding where the answer is focus, and the question is usually, “How do I get to that place of being focused?” Or maybe I’m seeing this because I’ve witnessed clarity and focus, over and over, being the answer to a majority of the struggle and confusion most entrepreneurs are facing today.

This can show up in your life in two different ways.

1. The amount of information overload is escalating daily with it becoming easier and easier to be connected. Now it’s not just emails you get on your phone, it’s videos, social media and even live TV, news and sports.

Are you feeling like you don’t have the choice to turn any of it off or you’ll be left behind?

Do other people in your life expect you to be on call 24/7 and fulfill their needs immediately no matter where you are or what you’re doing?

If so, that can create an incredible amount of pressure for one thing. And on another level it leads to splitting your attention to such an extent that it’s almost impossible to fully focus on any one thing for a long enough period of time to get anything substantial accomplished.

So what can you do?

Well, you could change the way you respond to those requests for your time and energy by setting boundaries around when you will reply and when you won’t. You’d be surprised how fast you can re-train people to respect those boundaries, even your worst offenders.

2. Another way that we sabotage our own focus is by taking on too many things at one time. It can be tasks to complete, things you feel like you need to learn, books you read or even filling your social calendar to the point of exhaustion.

Being clear on who you are, what you’re here to do and what you’re going to do about that in terms of creating a blueprint for your life allows you to have a plan that all of these things we’ve been discussing gets measured against.

With your blueprint you have a plan that can be broken down into daily actions that are moving you forward to your desired end result, which is living the life of your dreams funded by a business that truly is your calling.

That blueprint helps you to say no and it helps you to know what to say yes to. It helps you to structure your time because you know what you want to accomplish and when you want it done. You are then free to choose how you spend the rest of your day and the rest of your life.

Your blueprint isn’t just a tool for productivity, it’s the out-picturing of your deepest desires. It’s the framework from which your soul expresses itself in your daily life.

It’s the foundation for everything you are and everything you create and hope to be in the future. What could be more important than that?

If you need some assistance in creating the blueprint for your life, I’m here to help.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Empowered Women’s Business Summit at M Resort Las Vegas

What’s New

Quote to Contemplate

“A high level of activity doe not necessarily translate to a high level of commitment on your part.”

Lynn Pierce

Are you creating a high level of activity and kidding yourself into believing it means you have that same level of commitment?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
What’s New
I’m home, yeah! Well, at least until 6:30 Monday morning.

Then I’m off to meet my event coordinator Audrey Hagen at a secret undisclosed location in Las Vegas to finalize a hotel selection for this year’s http://WomensBusinessEmpowermentSummit.com (you can still download last year’s calls until the new site goes up next week)

There’s all kinds of exciting news about this year’s event, but I’m not going to tell you anything until we have the hotel secured.

I’m working on the first trip for “Women, Wine, Wealth & Wisdom”. It’s going to be so much fun, I can’t wait.

When I came home this week I met my friend from Miami, Gayle Carson, for lunch at my favorite spot on the beach in Del Mar, Poseidon. It was sunny when I left my house up the coast and totally socked in with fog by the time I got down the road.

Anyway, I remembered my camera now that my version of WordPress has been updated and I can quickly and easily throw a photo up there all by myself any time I want. I like being able to do that instead of sending it to someone else to do.

Later that afternoon I took my Flip with me on my beach walk and made a short video for you. I hope you watched it. It’s posted on my blog if you haven’t seen it yet.

So watch for me to become a multi-media maven. Well, knowing how non-techie I am, that may be a bit of an overstatement.

Last night’s call was amazing, if I do say so myself. I got great emails from those of you who listened. Thank you for those. I would love it if you would follow me on twitter and tweet your happiness.

As with anything, the more you get out there and talk about it on social media like twitter or Facebook, the more people see it. The way the Universe works your comment could be seen by someone who is in need of hearing that exact message right now.

I remember a story Wayne Dyer told about a guy who was going to commit suicide and had his radio on and heard Wayne’s message and it was exactly
what he needed to hear to prevent him from taking his life.

Since then I’ve always been very aware of the impact of small things and I try to pass on information whenever I can. That’s one of the reasons I’m always telling you about other people’s books & programs I think you might benefit from.

Life happens, be ready for it.

Set your goals high enough that they require you to stretch your comfort zone and you’ll be amazed what you can achieve. Ask yourself, “What’s the one thing I can change this year to create the life of my dreams?”

Can You Have Your Attention, Please?

Yes, you read that right. I’m asking you to give yourself your attention.

Attention is a tricky thing.

Your attention can drift off without you even being consciously aware when you’re not really interested in something.

You can pay attention to varying degrees depending on your involvement.

You can even pay attention to the wrong things altogether!

Or you can focus your attention with great intensity and produce tremendous results with possibly less effort than you expend in any of those other levels of attention I just pointed out.

What is the effect of scattered attention?

Scattered attention is how most people spend the majority of their time. It leads to overwhelm. It leads to lack of clarity, otherwise known as confusion. And it definitely results in a lack of focus.

The power of focused attention should not be underestimated. Just look at what a kid with a magnifying glass can do with a simple piece of paper and a little help from the sun. Did you ever do that experiment when you were a kid, burning a hole in a piece of paper?

As a child you may have been amazed that it was possible considering you were also out there in that same sun and yet it didn’t burn a hole through you or the piece of paper sitting right next to the one you just burnt a hole in.

I’m sure your science teacher explained that it’s all about harnessing the power of the sun by focusing it’s rays through the magnifying glass.

Well it works the same way with your thoughts.

When your thoughts and your energy are scatter, over here one minute and over there the next, there is no power. Your actions may seems to form a pattern of activity that looks productive, but in terms of a big picture they are random and leading nowhere.

The best use of your attention is not on multi-tasking either.

Despite popular opinion to the contrary, it is apparent to almost anyone you speak to on the phone when you’re multi-tasking. And there have been plenty of studies that show you have diminished capacity in all the task you do when you multi-task-no matter how proud you may be of your ability to do it.

Here’s the bottom line…

You have the power to have anything you want in your life by using that same power of focused energy as the kid with the magnifying glass. Your brain is already set up to work this way and your sub-conscious has been waiting for you to get it together and figure out what you really want it to do for you!

By getting clear about who you really are, what you’re here to do and what you choose to do about it, you have the ability to create a blueprint for your life. The most amazing life you are capable of dreaming of right now today.

You may need a little help pulling it all together. If so, I’d be glad to help you, that’s what I do.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.

Create Your Life Blueprint

I just made this video on my beach walk today. This is my first one so I learned a couple lessons: hold the Flip lower (although I won’t remember how high I held it) and I probably need to wear my glasses so I won’t squint. Enjoy the video and join me on the call. If you came here through my email you’ve got the link to register.

Lunch at the beach with “Spunky Old Broad” Gayle Carson

Today I met my friend Gayle Carson, known as “The Spunky Old Broad” for lunch at one of my favorite restaurants on the beach in Del Mar. Unfortunately it was really foggy, so you can’t see the beach that well. Gayle and I met at John Assaraf’s house five years ago and have stayed in touch. In here 70’s Gayle has just finished a series of workout videos. She certainly inspires me with her spunk. Now Gayle and I are brainstorming some things we can do together.

What a difference a few months makes

Here are 2 photos, 1 taken on my drive from San Diego to Scottsdale before my Christmas trip to Maui through a blizzard and now 2 weeks ago with spring flowers lining the road most of the way! I make this trip almost every month since I always seem to be moving things back and forth. Not a good idea to take pictures while driving with your phone.

What’s New
I’ve been in Scottsdale for the last week and today I’m going to Los Angeles and then I’m heading back to San Diego for a while. This photo is one of the patios I work on when I’m in Scottsdale.

In between business meetings I’ve had a chance to spend time with friends, do some wine tasting with my favorite event coordinator Audrey Hagen, and then attend one day of Infusion Soft’s user conference. Now I’m off to my friend and mentor Kevin Nations’ event in L.A.

I have now connected with all the women who responded to the 1st email about “Women, Wine, Wealth and Wisdom“. It generated quite a lot of interest and it’s taken longer than I expected interviewing potential members to select the group of exciting fun loving women who will be joining me in this program.

If you replied and haven’t heard back from me, remember you had to go through the SpamArrest confirmation for your email to come through.

Life happens, be ready for it.

Set your goals high enough that they require you to stretch your comfort zone and you’ll be amazed what you can achieve. Ask yourself, “What’s the one thing I can change this year to create the life of my dreams?”

Do You Know How to Build a Life?

Over the weekend I was having a conversation with a client about building a life and building a business like you would build a house.

Even though I’m a Success Architect, I’m not a licensed architect. But I have drawn plans for houses and worked with many builders and architects while my career was in real estate. So follow me with this analogy.

I come from the process of seeing a piece of property as a blank slate and visioning what would be the best design to build on that property to take advantage of the topography, the views, the location in general and most importantly the lifestyle and needs of the people who will live in the house to make sure what is built is to the highest and best use of that property.

But how many people do you know that take that kind of care to create their life or their business?

Do you?

Re-read that from the standpoint of the house being your life. Do you give the life you are creating that much conscious thought?

When looking at how you are creating the blueprint for your life do you look at your life as a blank slate from this day forward?

Do you envision what is the highest and best use of your time taking into account what is really important to you in every area of your life? Taking into account what your biggest strengths and challenges are?

Do you create the blueprint for your life in a way that focuses on your desired lifestyle and who you really are?

Because those are three of the pieces that will lead you to create a blueprint for your life that allows you to live the life of your dreams right now.

Think about how you would be focused on every detail of building or remodeling your home-from major decisions of room placement and sizes all the way down to door handles light switches.

In that situation you have one decision after another to make and they all have to be made to have you end up living in the home of your dreams.

And yet you may not even realize you make decisions all day long that have the same impact on the designing of the life you live in. It’s easier to overlook this because so many of the decisions you make are made subconsciously by default.

Believe me when I tell you that all those subconscious decisions you thought you didn’t make were in fact made and you are living the result of those decision.

There is no such thing as deciding not to make a decision.

It’s the same thing in your business.

Looking at the landscape of your current business, how does it show up in the life you are building for yourself?

Are you creating a blueprint for your business that supports the realization of the lifestyle you choose to have?

Is your business structured in a way that showcases you in the best way possible?

Have you created a blueprint for your business that uses your raw talents to their highest and best use?

Unfortunately the majority of people put much more thought and planning into working with their architect on a new home or doing a remodel or even buying a new sofa than they do to designing their life.

In fact I would venture to say that many women expend much more thought and effort in creating their wardrobe than they do in creating their life.

Be conscious of the choices you make all day long that create the blueprint for your life with the same level of awareness you give to the other things you are creating.

Until next week, I’d love to hear your thoughts. Just comment on this post on my blog.
