Focus

Take time out to assess where you’ve come from and where you’re going. Are you still on the road that will lead you to God’s purposes, or have you taken a detour somewhere along the way?
John Maxwell

If the Lord delights in a man’s ways, He makes his steps firm; though he stumble, he will not fall, for the Lord upholds him with His hand.
Psalm 37: 23-24


Five steps to staying focused.

1. Fan the flame
Keep reminding yourself what you are passionate about. What got you on this road in the first place?

2. Seeing the end in view
Who are the people who cheer you on? Remember that you walk between the starting point and the finishing line can be a long and winding road.

3. Remain a student
Never stop learning. Let your business become your classroom. Failures and successes can teach you. Use the internet, go to seminars and workshop if you are not sure. Read books and meet with people who have the knowledge you need.

4. Isolation – the dream killer
Networking is important. Choose them carefully, connect with people who are like minded. Who are your tribe? Never be threatened by the competition, they are allies if you realise that only you can do your purpose.

5. Reinforcement
Re-inspire yourself. Go back to the reason you started the journey. What did God say. Keep a journal. Are you still on track? Remind yourself often why you are doing what you are doing. Do you have prophetic words, dust them off.
