Value of being focused and not being pulled in a bunch of directions to set yourself up for growth in business.

A super shortcut to getting what you want.

Hi I'm Brian Pombo, welcome back to Brian J. Pombo Live.

This is an idea that I talk about a lot. And I like to put a finer point when the times come, you know. Earlier today, I was speaking with a group of people that are politically active here locally.

There's a million things that a person can react to, regardless of which side of the aisle you're on, or how you view politics. There's always things demanding a reaction, right?

There's always someone from your opposite thoughts that are putting things out there to get a reaction to get you fired up, and overreacted, what they're doing it all sides do it.

But the real thing is to catch yourself from getting caught up with it. And the way I help people, whether they're business owners, or whether they're politicians or political activists or whoever if you really want to know how to how to get to what you want as quickly as possible, first you got to define it.

Your ideal has to be defined your the visible ideal in terms of what would I really like to happen that I can I can realistically see happening, or even unrealistically see happening, but you believe that it can happen?

What is that one thing that you can you can see happening eventually?

So putting that out there and then looking at, you know, how soon do you want to get there?

You know, what would be really good, in-terms of you getting there to that ideal?

What point do you want to get there?

If you don't have that, yet, you're always going to be stuck in reaction mode, you're always going to be reacting to the other side. And if you're building a business, you're reacting to everything around you.

If you're working in politics, you're reacting to the other side, guaranteed, and reacting to all the day's news and so forth. It'll never work, you'll never be able to get what you want. Because you're you're spending too much time reacting to everything else that's occurring.

But if you know what you want, if it's well defined, and you have an idea of when of how soon you'd like to get there, then the next thing is, what can I do right now to fix it?

What can I do right now to take one more step in that direction, a positive step, regardless of everything else that's going on. And that's why I love this book, the one thing, because the one thing, it all pulls you back to focusing on doing one thing at a time.

This is really opposite from or on face value. It's opposite from the way a lot of people teach. So one of the things that Dan Kennedy who I've spoken about before, who's a marketing, guru, and expert out there, he has spoken about how you really want massive action, you want multiple things happening all at the same time. And that's absolutely true.

But to get yourself out of the gutter, and to get yourself focused on moving forward, sometimes you have to start with one thing at a time. Once you get one thing going and you have it systemized you have it, you have someone else working on it, or you have it automated via software or whatever.

Once you have one thing taken care of where it can run on its own, then you work on the next thing and the next thing and the next thing, but it does have to start with one thing.
