HOW TO BREAK OUT OF DISTRACTIONS

Years ago, the army would send its best men to the elite 75th Ranger Regiment, but only 30% would make it through. Army leadership decided to invest more in preparing candidates for the challenging training. They taught them focusing skills and mindset skills. The following year, 80% became Rangers. The difference was coaching and an investment in focusing skills and preparation.

To have the best season, ask yourself:
“What is my #1 responsibility as a leader?” 

Answer:
“My primary role is to focus and direct my attention to what matters most.”

Stop being distracted by trivial results. Stop being distracted by things that have nothing to do with your goals.

Final question to you:
What do you want to do, and by when?

Here’s to finishing the year strong!
