Business skills = Life skills (Focus)
It's ironic that I cover the necessary skill of focus today on a day when I've struggled mightily with distractions. But hopping around from one thing to another is a sure killer in business as well as in life.
You don't end up where you want to be by merely starting. You end up where you want to be by following a clearly laid out path from where you are to where you want to end up. Starting in one direction... and then another... and then another again doesn't get you there. It just keeps you flitting around ineffectually near where you already are.
The ability to take one step after another after another, all going forward toward your goal is the only way to get there.
