Hey what’s up everybody, this is Karim Amri. Welcome to Coaching Secrets Podcast

I’m gonna start this episode with a Russian proverb, some people said it’s Chinese, but wherever it is from the lesson is great and is the same:

“ If you chase 2 rabbits… you will not catch either one”

Today we’re going to talk about the importance of narrowing your activities and tasks to the minimum to increase your achievement and productivity. In fact deciding what not to do is as important as deciding what to do, while most of as focus mostly on the second part, thinking always what to do more, what to do next.

The efficiency of this concept of narrowing the focus and deciding what to stop doing, was the key that Steve jobs used to save Apple when he came back 1997, he simply took a massive action and stopped 70% of the projects that apple was working on them at that time, knowing that many of them were good projects.

It is hard to think differently,

it’s hard to say No to opportunities,

it’s hard to decline good ideas,

but this is what is needed to increase your efficiency in your prioritized project.

To put it in simple words, you need to give up good things to go up and achieve greatness.

Now physically speaking, when comparing the effect of an amount of force applied on one point to the effect of the same amount of force distributed on a big surface, the difference is clear, as the second one will have almost no effect since it will be divided on all the surface.

The same this is applied to your efforts and energy, thinking and concentration, when you’re fully focused on one project, all what you’re doing during your day will help in achieve that project.

When you are working on it and thinking , you’ll not have your conscious mind interrupted or disturbed by other projects, when you’re receiving emails, they will be linked to the same, and when you sleep by night, your subconscious mind will continue analyzing and processing the work when you’re sleeping to serve with new insight when you wake up. That’s in simple word the difference between focusing on one project or action vs working on so many.

For us as Entrepreneurs, it’s may be one of the hardest things to comply with, as we’re wired to deal with many projects, and this is feasible when we have a good team around us, a team, to whom we can fully delegate other projects, to be their one project, so that they act in full potential and we act in full potential.

So before saying good by,

What’s the one project, or specialty that you need to focus fully in it the coming weeks or months?

Thank you all for listening , keep growing. And Bye for now.
