Shift From Scattered To Focused Results – Guest Blogger Laura West (@JoyfulBiz)

October 1, 2010 by sophiezo Leave a Comment

As entrepreneurs, we wear many hats, juggle many balls, and any other crazy-busy metaphor you can come up with. You write website copy and ezine articles, work with clients, speaking, design new programs, create a product, hire people, fire people, bookkeeping, professional development… Even when you aren’t doing it all and you have a team, you still have to manage them as well as do the creative work of your business.

With all these tasks and things pulling at you, it creates scattered energy. Your energy is here…. and here…. and over here.

When you have scattered energy, you get scattered results. You’re not concentrating on any one thing, and even when you are working on one business task, in the back of your mind, you’re probably thinking about the other 27 things on your to-do list.

What you need is focused energy. With focused energy, you get focused results.

So how do you keep your energy from being scattered everywhere?

1. Figure out what your most important goals are this month. Get your website done? Get five new clients? Enroll in a program? Fill a new teleclass? List all your goals, and then pick your top three.

And, yes, that can be the hard part, because all your goals are important, right? However, if you try to do all the goals, you’re back to that scattered energy place. Concentrate on the top three goals. One suggestion is to pull one goal from bringing in revenue/clients, another from marketing, and a third in the “Other” category (delivering a workshop or designing a new program).

2. Once you have your three goals for the month, then EVERY day do three things toward those goals. Now you’re focusing your energy, both BEING energy and DOING energy.

Being energy is how grounded are you, how present, right here, right now are you? You can only create and get things done from that right here, right now place. If you’re worrying about the future or stuck in the past, you aren’t creating right here, right now.

Every day this week, start out by focusing your BEING energy: meditate, journal, mindmap, read something inspirational, walk, have coffee with birdsong, connect to spirit and to yourself.

When you *are* creating from that right here, right now place, then your DOING energy is focused. You have focused energy, focused goals, and focused energy. And you can’t help but get focused results. And you’re moving faster toward your goals, your dream, and your vision.

Again, this week at the start of each day, focus your BEING energy and focus your DOING energy. Then pay attention to what shifts for you. What’s different? What’s working?

We’ve been working with Sophie Zollmann for almost half a year now, building an online lifelong learning platform and community from the ground up (because in-person classes became impossible in light of the corona virus). Sophie has guided every technical aspect of this enterprise including the construction of landing-pages and websites, the management of mailing lists and revenue funnels, setting up Zoom meetings, etc., allowing us to focus exclusively on content production and marketing. This platform is now off the ground and succeeding beyond our wildest hopes.

We couldn’t have built it without Sophie’s support, which has always been prompt and timely, and her guidance, as she’s always pointed us to the most efficient and economical solutions to whatever technical issue we’ve faced. In the heat of the moment, I’m sure we’ve not always been easy to work with, but Sophie has also been generous and understanding to a fault. In sum, her support has been flawless and absolutely essential to the success of our online enterprise. We will be relying on her services again as we ramp up for our next phase of growth.
