Procrastination is the enemy of every person that wants to succeed. Of course, we all wish that focus was, in turn, our friend, but in fact it can be incredibly difficult to remain focused on our goals, especially when it does not feel that we are getting anywhere. This is particularly true in business, when sometimes an idea could take months, if not years for any fruit to be seen. That is why you need to actively focus, not just assume that it is something that is going to appear and drop into your lap!
The best way to keep focus is to set yourself some goals. Without setting concrete goals that you are going to aspire to, there is no direction in what you are doing, and absolutely no way to measure your success. You can set goals for one month ahead, one year ahead, or even five years ahead! The important thing to do is set them, and make them detailed. You can't just think, "I want to be rich in five years time" - instead, you've got to put in the effort to think about how you are going to get there. By putting in those details, you are fleshing out your goal and making it seem more real.
Once you have the details, you need to set markers. These are portions of the goal (which you'll find in the details!) that need to happen before the overall goal is completed. For example, if you want to be rich in five years time, one marker could be clearly all of your debt on your house, student loans, car loans etc by the third year. Then, you need to continue breaking down the goals to one month tasks. This will make the goals not only feel achievable, but be actually achievable, because you now have a to-do list of exactly what you need to do to reach your goals.
Never forget your goals. Read them everyday, and believe that you will achieve them. One great example of this is Thomas Edison. He wanted to invent something that could hold power, and he set out achievable goals to get there. It may have taken him a long time, but eventually he did invent the battery, something that our lives would not be the same without. There are so many other success stories of people through out history that failed there way to success, but the one thing they had in common was they never lost focus.
So what are your goals, and how are you going to achieve them?
