Focus Like A One-Eyed Cat Peeping In A Seafood

What
does a one-eyed cat focus on while peeping in a seafood store? Is
it the people? The traffic? No...
Like
A One-Eyed Cat Peeping In A Seafood Store
By Dean Phillips
Want
to be successful in whatever it is you choose to do? Then you need
to be focused--just "like a one-eyed cat peeping in a seafood
store!"
Guess
what that old one-eyed cat see's, when it's peeping in that seafood
store? Seafood--that's it! No people, no traffic--just seafood!
Now that's what you call "laser-like focus!"
And
"lack of focus" is the main reason why most people don't
succeed. They don't have that "laser-like focus" that's
required for success--that ability to block out everything that's
going on all around them and focus on the matter at
hand.
I want
you to commit this phrase I coined to memory: "Any
success you achieve will be in direct proportion to your focus.
The more focused you are, the greater will be your success!"
Here's
another example to illustrate my point: Most
people think it was Michael Jordan's amazing talent that set him
apart from the other players in the world. And make no mistake,
his talent did play a significant role in his success. But what
really made Michael Jordan special was his "laser-like focus."
He was famous for it. He was totally focused on winning every time
he stepped on the basketball court--and he usually did.
It's
also no secret that Michael practiced longer and harder than just
about anyone else in the NBA--but that automatically comes with
being focused. When you're totally focused on your goal, you do
whatever you have to do to succeed.
Now
after reading this article, I'm sure many of you are wondering,
how do you go about getting properly focused for success?
The
very first thing I recommend is a complete re-programming of your
mind. Because before you can start walking down that road to success,
you first have to get your mind right.
In
that regard, there are two books I consider absolute MUST reads,
if you are at all serious about being successful in whatever it
is you choose to do.
The
books are, "Think and Grow Rich" by Napolean Hill and
"The Magic of Thinking Big" by Dr. David Schwartz.
Your
local bookstore or library should have both books, since they're
all-time classics. If not, try Amazon.com. But whatever you do,
get those books!
And
remember, "Any success you achieve will be in direct proportion
to your focus. The more focused you are, the greater will be your
success!"
