| I love American football and I recently | | | | your relationship when you should be focused |
| caught a game of my | | | | on your work. How |
| | | | |
| favorite team, the Chicago Bears. I | | | | often are you truly in the |
| | | | present?Visualizing plants the seeds of |
| love sports because it's easy to look for | | | | greatness into your |
| and find metaphors | | | | |
| | | | subconscious. Visualizing your goals and the |
| between sports, life and business.The | | | | big picture of it |
| Chicago Bears defense is one of the top rated | | | | |
| lineups in the | | | | all is something you can do whenever you |
| | | | want. Yet there is a |
| NFL. They are intimidating, intense and | | | | |
| dominating.There was one play in particular | | | | delicate balance between visualizing your |
| that I witnessed Sunday and | | | | future and doing the |
| | | | |
| have seen over and over in football and I | | | | actions today, in the present, right here |
| see it in life as | | | | and now that will lead you |
| | | | |
| well.A wide receiver on the opposing team | | | | progressively to your destiny. There is a |
| was wide open and about to | | | | healthy balance that |
| | | | |
| catch a pass for an easy first down. He had | | | | must be achieved between these two |
| the ball in his | | | | powers.What I would like for you to do all |
| | | | day today is ask yourself |
| hands... however... he dropped the ball | | | | |
| because he was more | | | | the question, what is my next step?What is |
| | | | the next step?And then I want you to simply |
| focused on the impending hit he would | | | | focus on it.Concentrate fully on that one |
| receive from the defense | | | | step and completing it. Turn off |
| | | | |
| after he caught the ball.He would have | | | | all background noise, eliminate all |
| easily caught the ball, but there would be a | | | | distractions and put your |
| price | | | | |
| | | | blinders on to that one thing you are going |
| to be paid afterwards. He knew a hit was | | | | to be doing and then |
| coming and he allowed it | | | | |
| | | | do it to completion. If possible, turn off |
| to distract him from concentrating on the | | | | the phone, put a do |
| next step. He was | | | | |
| | | | not disturb sign on your door or cubicle and |
| looking too far ahead and it prevented him | | | | don't do anything |
| from catching an easy | | | | |
| | | | other than what your next step is. Don't |
| pass.It is important to know what your next | | | | check your email, don't |
| step is at all times.That wide receiver's job | | | | |
| is ultimately to catch the football | | | | turn music on, don't allow yourself to do |
| | | | anything else. Focus |
| when it is thrown to him. What he does after | | | | |
| he catches the | | | | 100% on that next step.The more you practice |
| | | | this, the more efficient you will become, |
| football is important, but he must catch the | | | | |
| football first in | | | | and you will achieve your goals in record |
| | | | time.This principle is illustrated in detail |
| order to gain any yards or progress | | | | in the audio program, |
| afterwards. The job of the | | | | |
| | | | TheTimeCommandments! I encourage you to |
| offense is to gain yards and score | | | | study it and master |
| points.People come to me all the time when | | | | |
| they have struggles with | | | | it. I have broken down thousands of historic |
| | | | universal success |
| focus and concentration. I hear it every | | | | |
| single day, "I can't | | | | principles into Ten Simple Strategies that I |
| | | | apply to my own |
| concentrate."The solution is simple, and | | | | |
| like any other muscle, you can train | | | | life and my own business with amazing |
| | | | results. You can go faster |
| your concentration muscles and improve your | | | | |
| abilities.How many times in life do you drop | | | | than you think you can. And it's easier |
| the ball and miss an | | | | than you think it is.When it comes to your |
| | | | day, your work, your family or your |
| opportunity to progress because you were | | | | |
| thinking about or | | | | business, define what the next step is that |
| | | | you must focus on |
| worrying about something that might (or | | | | |
| might not) happen later? You were so | | | | and then do it fully and invest all of your |
| | | | attention into it.The results will amaze |
