Keeping Focus & achieving Goals in Life<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

\"Keeping<\/a><\/p>\n

A very Special Guest Post from Arun George<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Interacting with associates and peers over the past decade has helped me a lot to bring together the right mix of skills and ideas that have gone into building long lasting business relationships.<\/p>\n

The single most important learning I have acquired is that, there is no asset more valuable than \u2018people\u2019 and no skill stronger than \u2018bringing people together to get the best out of everyone\u201c.<\/p>\n

I thought of sharing some experiences with all of you, that has been very valuable for me. This can be a wonderful stage for all of us to pool in our ideas, views, queries, suggestions and build a stronger & larger network to grow and develop together.<\/p>\n

To begin with, I wanted Your Views on \u201cWhat are the most pressing challenges that you face in your journey towards your goals?\u201d<\/em><\/span><\/p>\n

<\/em> But first let me share with you the biggest challenge I ever had during my entrepreneurial journey of last eleven years, especially the later part of it.<\/p>\n

It was \u201cKeeping my Focus<\/span>\u201d<\/strong>.<\/p>\n

Have you ever observed that over a period of time \u201cstuff\u201d<\/em> gets accumulated in your wallet or purse \u2013 like name cards, receipts, notes etc. And we go through the exercise of dumping everything out of the wallet and re-organize it. We keep the name cards in a card holder, throw away some of that \u201cstuff\u201d<\/em> and keep what we think we need in appropriate place. After the process we usually find the wallet to have reduced in thickness by almost half.<\/p>\n

I have found that to maintain my focus I need to do this with myself. Over a period of time I add up \u201cstuff\u201d<\/em> in to my life which gets converted to activities that demand a lot of time from me and do not contribute to my actual goals in anyway. So every once in a while I need to look at all the activities that I do on a daily basis, evaluate it, throw away what\u2019s not needed and re-enforce the core activities.<\/p>\n

Maintaining focus had been such a difficult task for me especially when you have a heart that wants to do a lot of things in so many different areas.<\/p>\n

But I realized that the strategy for success is in identifying what\u2019s really important and weeding away the things that look good but are not important. Focus then becomes a task of not only constantly looking for what\u2019s important, but also consciously removing wrong kind of activities that have accumulated in to my life.<\/p>\n

So, What are the most pressing challenges that you face in your journey towards your goals? Do share your comments with me here.<\/p>\n
