Wrong Focus: 3 Places People Focus… and Shouldn’t


Listen Later

At the beginning of a coaching session, my clients often tell me what they have been focused on in their marriage crisis.  Almost always, they are focusing on the wrong things.
And in the process, they are not focusing on the right things.
Where we focus is what gets our attention.  Focus on the wrong things, and the wrong things get our attention… our energy… and our investment.
That can head you right toward disaster and further discord.  And when you focus on the wrong things, trying harder does even more damage.
"Rowing harder doesn’t help if the boat is headed in the wrong direction."
Kenichi Ohmae

Focus on the right areas to make progress in your marriage crisis.
