Attributes of an Entrepreneur: Focus
Happy Monday! Mondays always seem to be the toughest day to get started for the week, huh? Focus is all you need! That’s right, and to focus requires a lot of dedication.
“Focus – the single-mindedness and the mental strength of an entrepreneur. Focus keeps one on-track. Focus shuts out distractions. Focus sets things into motion. With focus come quantified plans, objectives and goals. With focus come an increase in productivity, accomplishments of plans, objectives and goals. Focus gives a clear head and helps in decision making. Focus also helps in identifying good business plans. Focus plans with a purpose. Focus allows calculated risks. Focus knows when to move on. Focus leads people. Without focus, an entrepreneur may end up taking a long detour to the intended success… that is if he/she even makes it there.”
Interestingly enough, I’ve heard from many that entrepreneurs in general, lacks focus. Why? It is said that entrepreneurs have so many ideas and at times, don’t know how to or which to first execute. Focus goes beyond just entrepreneurs – everyone needs focus, especially when there are so many distractions around us these days.
Think about it – emails, phone calls, Facebook games and the list goes on. How many of these can actually be put on hold? How much can be accomplished if those were cut down?
It’s time to get rid of distractions and move towards your goal. Do you have a focus? What is your focus?
This is awesome, straight-forward article but it makes you think! I have the same issue, I tend to come up with a lot of ideas and never get to even starting to move towards executing any of them.
Keep up the great work on the blog.

Hi Ben, thank you for the kind words! Am glad the article helped. It is definitely a timely reminder to put legs to our ideas and to make them a reality.. before the year ends!
I know I need to focus a whole lot more as well! :) Though it’s really hard trying to stay away from the distractions that are practically everywhere!
That photo of the cat, all focused on its prey. Nice one! xo
I agree! Shutting out distractions is difficult especially when we are accustomed to them. It’s never too late to get it right, though :)
