What controls our focus controls our life. And everything's trying to get our focus all the time. Right?
Advertisers trying to get our focus. Your phone's ringing in your pocket. It's buzzing and that buzz is either your phone or it's an email or it's a text.
There's this constant something trying to get control of our focus. But what you focus on determines your destiny and your life. So if you don't take control of it, somebody else will.
If I don't finally get my focus in check, if I keep wandering around distracted, if I keep looking at every new thing that pops up, if I keep trying every single new opportunity, if I keep saying yes to everything, if I keep listening to everybody's complaints, and if I keep doing whatever they ask me to do, at some point, you'll lose your life. You can lose track of the long term goal. It fades from your vision.
It slips from your mind. But, I don't accept that. I want that long term goal to be so embedded in my mind that I never lose sight of it.
Ever. You need to have a mission for what you're doing today. You should figure out what is it you desire in life and figure out the steps to get there.
And start working a plan to get there and minimizing everything else. Getting very clear on the mission. Very clear on the mission.
And working the plan. Everything else, guess what it gets? A no.
Every day, do something that moves you toward that goal, that keeps that goal alive and in sight and in focus. However small or insignificant that step might seem, take it. Do it.
Make it happen. Where will you be in your business and your life in 36 months? Not because you hope, because you decide.
If there's something you once envisioned and now it's real, it's because you focused on it continuously, didn't you? When you focus on something continuously, something magical happens. You get insights, don't you?
You overhear a conversation and you hear something you wouldn't have heard if you didn't have that outcome or goal that you wanted so badly. What are the things that are stealing your focus? Who are the people that are stealing your focus?
And begin to eliminate these distractions. Get laser focused and obsessed on what you want. Be starving and hungry to get it.
Be desperate to get it. The combination of desperation and hunger with laser focus over an extended period of time is the formula to be great at something. The question you wanna ask yourself is, what do I want?
The target is not the activity. The activity can change. It's what's the result I'm after.
Clarity is power. The more clear you are in specifically what you want, the faster your brain can get you there. Because your brain's like a servomechanism in a missile.
It locks on with a heat signature, what does it do? It moves and follows it. That's the way your brain is if it knows the outcome, if it knows the result.
You cannot accomplish what you have not focused on. If you're not focusing on it, it can't happen. You're so focused on everything else but you, and you don't realize you.
You are what's gonna blow you up. You are what's gonna change your situation. You.
You are what's going to take you to the next level. Stop focusing on four things at once and I need you to concentrate on one thing at a time. And most of you in this room, you can't give up six months.
You can't give up eight months. You can't let stuff go for a few weeks. Like you can't let girls go.
Some of you just can't let boys go. Some of you just can't let parties go. Let it go.
If you want to be successful, if you want to dominate in an area, you got to let everything go but that thing you're pursuing. You can't chase two rabbits and catch both of them. So you put your attention on one and go after it.
You got to stay focused. Stay focused. Stay focused on the goal.
Champions are focused on the goal. They don't have time to be doing stuff that's not going to help them toward the goal. We wake up and grind.
Winners win. I focus on winning. Eye on the tiger.
I want you to be so focused, I want you to be so concentrated, that you block out all noise. That you block out all sound. You got to get to that point, like you like that eagle.
You know, that eagle, that's a hundred and some odd feet in the air, and that eagle is flying around, and all of a sudden, it looks down in the Atlantic ocean and it sees it's prey. And all of a sudden, bam, all that eagle does, is one time, it brings out his wings, it shows it's face toward where it's going, it puts it's head down, and boom, it dives down. It doesn't look to the right.
It doesn't look to the left. It doesn't look up. It doesn't look further down.
It looks straight at it's prey and it goes bam, straight down into the Atlantic ocean, straight down. Eyes focused. Arms out steady.
And bam, it scoops up it's prey and it keeps on going. And I'm telling you, if you're gonna blow up, if you're gonna get to the next level, you gotta stay focused. You gotta learn how to concentrate.
What makes a person average is their focus. And so what you're focusing on throughout the course of the day, it has to change. What you're looking at, what you're reading, what you're watching, the conversations you have, you must now be focused on your why, and you must be focused on your dreams, you must be focused on your goals.
When you are great, you don't focus on a week. When you are great, you don't focus on a month. When you are great, you don't focus on a year.
I'm not saying there's anything wrong with planning, but what I'm talking about is you concentrate on the 24 hours that's in front of you and you nail it. I want you to focus on here right now. Don't you worry about when you get home, you concentrate on this opportunity.
You don't worry about tomorrow. You concentrate on this opportunity with all your might, with all your soul, with all your heart, you focus on this and tomorrow will take care of itself. If you would just believe that your day coming, that the sacrifices you are making today, they're going to pay off.
But if you do not believe it ain't going to happen.
