#003 F.O.C.U.S And How to be Successful Not Doing Things


Listen Later

To be successful, Gordon encourages you to do the unconventional – concentrate on things that you shouldn’t do. In this way, you can shut off everything else and be motivated to do the most important tasks instead. You won’t feel overwhelmed if you do it little by little at your own pace. Today, learn everything from measuring your goals to knowing what F.O.C.U.S mean, and to do your to-do list & NOT-to-do list.

Here’s another great news for The Property Entrepreneur Podcast subscribers and listeners, Gordon will be giving away tickets to No Money Down – Discovery Day. Are you excited? Let’s find out if you’re the lucky winner!

KEY TAKEAWAYS

  • How often do you measure yourself against your goals?
    • Going back to what we’ve discussed in the previous episode, the Goal Pyramid, try to review each layer several times. You can check them daily, weekly, or quarterly – whatever works for you. Regarding frequency, you might want to check the top layer less relative to how you measure the middle and bottom layers so you won’t get demotivated.
  • If you are doing the actions and still not meeting your milestones, review your timetable, remind yourself about your WHY, and go back to the previous steps if needed.
“Beyond its meaning, FOCUS is also an acronym. It stands for Follow One Course Until Successful.
  • Along with your to-do list, create a NOT-to-do list. The first thing you have to do is create a list of everything that you think you need to do. Then, pick the top 3 most important things and put them on another list – your to-do list.
    • If you’re done with the top 3 things, go back to the things you haven’t picked – your not-to-do list – to pick your next top 3.
    • Your not-to-do list is a great reminder, so you don’t get to spread yourself too thin. Those are what you shouldn’t be prioritizing yet not to get derailed from being successful.
  • BEST MOMENTS

    • “Everything needs to build up to maintain the momentum.”
    • “Once you’ve mastered that skill, whatever that is… you need to follow through until you become an expert.”
    • “Small wins build momentum… and eventually, by getting those small wins, you’ll achieve those overall goals and objectives.”
