If you want to achieve a particular goal, you’ve got to zoom in on that one. Forget what the person next to you is doing. When you zoom in on something, you focus on it. It comes into sharp view. And that is what creates the power. I share the simple Zoom Power Equation in my book, Zoom Power: Your Key to Hitting Your Personal, Business and Financial Targets. Once you learn how to apply zoom power to what you do, you will see an increase in the results you produce. You will be able to lose the weight, write the book, launch the business, master the subject, whatever it is you want. But you’ve got to have focus — zoom power.
A lack of focus is the reason so many people produce subpar results, or less than what they want. It’s because they are too busy looking at what others are doing. And they are trying to do too much. The cliche “spread too thin” really is true. If you are stretching yourself in an unreasonable way, you may touch a lot of things, but not leave much of an impression.
Entrepreneur Alynetta Beck wrote an interesting blog post about our views of success. And she has a point: Many people base their success on what others do, and so they are always left disappointed. So decide to focus on what you truly want and what’s important to you. And create your own definition of success. Then zoom in on making it happen.
You’ll produce a lot better result that way.
