This week I am discussing the need to be able to “focus” our energy and our time in order to acheive lofty goals. So many people allow themselves to be distracted and they never put enough enregy or “focus” towards accomplishing the goals they set out for themselves. Vince Lombardi said “success requires a singleness of purpose.” A great way to apply this principle is to define your goals and then to develop your “to do list” in order to only do the things that will get you to your goals. If there is a task or activity that is not going to help get you to your spiritual, relational, emotional, physical or financial goals then it should be moved to the bottom or taken off of your “to do list.” This will help to keep you focused and give you a singleness of purpose.

This week the success principle is “feedback.” What I mean by “feedback” is getting input from those around us in order to not only identify problem areas, but to resolve the problems and/or improve areas of our lives. Coaches, trainers, pastors, therapists, these are all examples of the type of people we may turn to for “feedback.”

I have decided to spice up the blog with video blogging and an 8 part series on success. These 8 principles/processes that I will be talking about are the 8 things I have identified as a critical part of the success I have achieved. Keep in mind “success” is defined differently by everyone. However, these are universal principles.
