Do not turn from it to the right hand or to the left, that you may prosper wherever you go." Joshua 1:7
To be focused means having a keen sense of direction. Every thought, action and association has a purpose. Outstanding leaders are focused. They know what they are doing and why they are doing it. To become more focused a leader should:
1. Live on Purpose: We must understand that our life is a gift from God and the use of our life is a gift to God. Do not confuse profession with purpose.
2. Know Thy Self: Outstanding leaders know their strengths and opportunities. Stay in your lane. Do what you do best and delegate the rest.
3. Keep the Main Thing the Main Thing: A double minded man is unstable in all his ways. All distractions are equal. Keep you eyes on the prize.
4. Be a Master: If you try to do everything that comes your way, you will not excel at anything. Remember, a specialist earns much more that a generalist.
5. Commit to Life Long Learning: Always be coachable. Invest in self-improvement. Steven Covey calls it sharpening the saw. The market pays according to your value. Once you increase your skills the market will pay you accordingly.
