Happy Halloween!

Are you going out Trick or Treatin’ or  staying home and giving out candy?

My niece stayed home and gave out candy with her dad, my brother, last night.

She told this story about one of the Trick or Treaters that came to the door….

“My dad throws a snickers bar into a trickertreaters bag.
Trickertreater replies: “I don’t like snickers..” and takes it out.
My dad says: “how bout m&ms?”
Trickertreater then says: “I like hersheys…” as he grabs one and runs away.”

HA HA!!! I love it!

What You Can Learn From This Trick or Treater

This little Trick or Treater knew what they wanted.

And they weren’t afraid to ask for it!

Do you have clarity? Do you know what you want?

Are you saying yes to too many things?

Are you saying yes to things you don’t want or even like?

Does this seem rude or spoiled? Change your mindset!!!

This little Trick or Treater didn’t demand my brother make a special trip to the store and get a Hershey’s.

He saw that a Hershey’s bar was in the bag. And he asked for it. It was that simple!

Most people don’t ask for what they want because they are afraid to ask or worse don’t know what they want!!!

So let’s recap here:

• Ask for what you want!
• Say no to things that don’t interest you.
• And enjoy some chocolate!

Happy Spooky Day!

P.S. What I’m really talking about here is FOCUS. Getting focus, having focus and keeping focus.

I’ve created an On-Demand, Self pacing Coaching program called PHOCUS Coaching to help you with those things.

“Clarity affords focus.” – Thomas Leonard

How to get focused in your day to day actually doesn’t start there.

It has been my experience, with over 3,000 hours of 1 to 1 coaching, that people who are looking to get focused in their business and daily lives, don’t have a long term focus.

I’ve heard it many different ways, but it usually sounds something like:

I’m not sure what my day should look like.

I get easily distracted.

I get sidetracked by urgent matters.

I suffer from SOS. Shiney Object Syndrome.

I can’t get done all the things I want to do.

When ever I hear things like this I ask “What do you want your life, business and world to look like 5 years from now?”

I already know the answer, but I need them to get tripped up themselves.

Even if there is an answer, it is usually fuzzy. It’s out of focus. It lacks clarity.

These answers will sound something like,

“I would like to be working less.”

“Traveling.”

“Spend more time with family.”

Then if I dig deeper,

“If you are working less, what would you be doing with your free time?”

“Where would you like to travel?”

“If you are spending more time with family, what activities are you doing together?”

There usually is no answer. There is fuzziness. No clarity.

How to get focused

If you want to get focused on your day to day you need to get focused on the bigger picture.

You need to have clarity about what your life, business and world will look like in future. How to get focused is to get clarity on how you desire your world to look. Then work it backwards.

Bring that clarity of vision of your world 5 years, 10 years, or 20 years out and then reverse engineer it into today.

Is what you’re doing today, right now, moving you toward that vision of your life?

What do you need to start doing to get moving in that direction?
