I wanted to share a quick snippet from my NEW chapter that I wrote in a new book coming out on August 16th called Women Gone Wild: The Feminine Guide to Fearless Living… my chapter is entitled:  The Power of Focus.

Now, of course I can’t share the whole chapter with you here but I wanted to share a quick snippet so you could get excited about grabbing your copy of this book plus two other books I’m launching this month. (Yes, that means a few extra book launch emails – please open and support the authors and myself if you could! This is what happens when you own a publishing company!)

Mark your calendar for the following book launches this month:

1. 8/10 – The Complete Manager Makeover: Transforming the Human in Human Resources by Lisa Perez
2. 8/11 – Step Into the Spotlight to Expand Your Influence and Attract the Right Clients Compiled by Colleen Biggs (I’m in this one too!)
3. 8/16 – Women Gone Wild: The Feminine Guide to Fearless Living Compiled by Rhonda Swan

Here’s the Focus chapter snippet (with added commentary on the bullets by me of course)- Enjoy!

I would say, that there are certain personality characteristics that make it easier for some than others, but this can also be a learned skill. You can practice and have accountability partners to help you stay focused, it doesn’t all have to rely on you.

In an article by the US Chamber of Commerce, published December 8, 2020, it revealed the Top 6 Personality Traits of Successful Entrepreneurs, which are:

1. Persuasiveness – oh yes, that helps with the marketing and sales aspects of the job!
2. Flexibility – but of course! We certainly have no control whether our technology will work or not, right? Or if something like Covid-19 hits… we just have to pivot!
3. Creativity – that’s what keeps us up at night with the next big idea!
4. Self-Motivation – this is where the ability to stay focused comes in really handy so we can get more done in less time or with less effort.
5. Tenacity – another trait to help you hold yourself accountable, become more driven and unstoppable.
6. Passion – sure, if you’re not passionate about what you’re doing, you’re doing the wrong thing.

Where do you lie with those 6 traits? They pretty much describe me to a T.

If they don’t automatically describe you, never fear. You’ll find your way to get and stay more focused while staying creative, flexible and fulfilled.

I wasn’t always this focused. I think I had short-term focus back in school. I was really good at taking and passing tests with flying colors but then not remembering much of what I studied. I would cram for my tests the night before, focusing of course on the most important aspects of what I thought I needed to know, then I’d take the test and not a day later I couldn’t remember hardly any of the information taught. Cramming isn’t the best solution mind you, especially if you need to retain a lot of information for your profession such as a Doctor or Attorney would.
