The personal habit that will keep you consistent in business and life

There is one thing the winners use to bend reality. It goes by many names and everyone is fighting for yours, but if you can protect it and harness it…You’ll run circles around all of your competitors and prove everyone wrong, but most importantly, prove yourself right.

FOCUS.

In a world where all of our content is delivered in 15-30 second morsels, you get a notification more frequently than you interact with another human, and you pick up your phone whenever you think you have nothing better to do. Focus, or the concentration of your attention, is the world's most coveted commodity.

The entrepreneurial world’s finest all employ a technique to harness this resource called Deep Work. Jeff Bezos, Alex Hormozi, and Iman Ghadzi, to name a few, all preach the value of this technique that gives them an edge over their competitors. It is simple yet effective. Commit to a short period of uninterrupted work, take a break, then another period of work until you either complete the task or have nothing left to give to the progress of the task.

For example, turn your phone off, put it in another room, set a timer for 30 minutes, and work on your computer for 30 minutes - uninterrupted. Then once it expires, take a break for 10 minutes and repeat the cycle. Initially, you’ll be surprised by how much you can get done using this too,l but you’ll also be shocked by how frequently your brain craves a distraction, a hit of dopamine.

This tool not only helps with productivity, but you’ll also start to rewire your brain’s reward system and train yourself to find enjoyment in the progress towards and eventual completion of the task, rather than giving yourself false dopamine from TikTok or discussing completing the task without actually doing it.

I know you’re a winner and you know you’re a winner. You just need to create the evidence to reinforce your identity to yourself. Not only am I looking forward to your success, I am sure of it. Let’s go print those dollars
