The average person has a bunch of loosely defined goals and wants a lot of things. However, this is not a strategy that makes for a successful entrepreneur. Successful entrepreneurs focus on one very specific goal at a time.
Studies have shown that only about 3% of the general populations have a specific enough direction to generate the level of mental energy that is required to achieve any level of substantial success.
World-class thinkers focus on a single important goal and set a time frame to achieve it. That is how most self-made millionaires obtained their wealth. I have often said that the successful entrepreneur needs to be a “B” student in many disciplines to operate a successful business. However, their business goals need to be laser focused.
The successful entrepreneur can’t be distracted and dilute his efforts from making money for the business. While most people scatter their mental energy on many different goals, projects, and hobbies, entrepreneurs concentrate on vital business objectives and drive themselves to accomplish those goals.
Do you scatter your mental energy or are you focused on the next most important business goal?
