Strange Fact:
You Get What You Focus On
|
 It's true. Because when you pay attention to something, put energy into that something, talk/read/write about it, you move in that direction.
That
lesson is taught to race car drivers because in the beginning they tend
to focus on NOT hitting the wall. And guess what happens? They often
hit the wall because they're focused on the wall (even in a "don't go
there" sense). But if they ignore the wall and focus on making the turn
guess what happens? They usually make the turn (sans wall).
It
works for everything. I see examples of it all the time. Here's a good
one: people starting a new business or trying to grow their business focusing on and even telling
everyone that "I'm a starving startup." Artists do it a LOT. "I'm a
starving artist." Guess what? Poof! You're a starving artist. Say it
long enough, focus on it long enough and you'll get your wish.
Seriously.
So stop it already! Choose instead to focus on
something better. Not sure what to focus on? Start with the obvious and
just STOP saying things like, "I'm a starving startup" and "I can't
afford to invest in myself and my business." Focus on where you
want to end up, think about it, talk about it, visualize it. Get
r-e-a-l-l-y familiar with it. Marinate in it.
Don't get
too attached to HOW something happens. That doesn't mean talk to the
Universe and sit on your hands until it happens, because it won't. You
gotta put it into motion. Set your end goals and dream your
dreams, get started in that direction with a plan, mind your thoughts
and course-correct as you go along. Try it, you'll like it!
 P.S.
If you read this far, good for you! You deserve a treat that will help
set you on your new, focused path: If you have a "how to" question
about your business admin, website or other marketing, email me at
robin@sagaradevelopment.com to schedule a 15 minute consult for
free. No cost, no muss, no fuss, and no strings attached. Just a great
little treat to say "thanks for reading the newsletter" and to
hopefully give you something really useful (and so you'll continue to
think kindly of us and, of course, use our services in the future). I'm
just sayin...
Don't wait, I only do a few per week (otherwise I wouldn't get my work done, ya know.)
