How many times do you lose focus each day? Your phone buzzes, you get distracted by a bird flying by your window or you suddenly remember, you need to go shopping while in the middle of work.

Here are the five practical steps that might help you be more successful and get more prominent in your niche. So, let's dig a little deeper.

2. DO THE DIFFICULT THINGS FIRST

So, how do you deal with it? You do the difficult things first, as uncomfortable as that is, it makes each day far easier to deal with and face.
