The ability to focus is important when it comes to having success in your home business. Lack a focus can be one of the main reasons that people fail.
Sometimes life just happens and we have no control over it. Here are three keys to remaining focused in a chaotic environment.
1. Start with the end in mind- You have probably heard this before. This means having goals.
If you have no goals then you will have nothing to focus on. Just write down what you want to accomplish in a year. Next break that down to what you have to have to have accomplished each month for that to happen.
From there break your monthly goals into weekly goals, and then down to daily goals. What you do daily will determine your long term success.
2. Have a daily routine- You can write out your daily routine each week based on your weekly goals. If you do not know what you need to do daily, then study a person who has successfully accomplished what you are aiming to achieve, and then model their actions.
3. Break your daily routine into a To Do List and a Must Do List. Have 3 to 5 things that you must accomplish in your business each day regardless of anything else, and put them on your Must Do List. Prioritize all of your other tasks on your To Do List.
Put all of your energy into accomplishing those "must do" things first. Most of the time you will not finish your entire To Do List, but if you finish those most important things first, that is what counts.
When you are trying to accomplish a goal it seems like things start happening to intentionally make you fail. I encourage you to stay on course.
