I'm a big believer in focus. I think that you can only be successful when you're focused. If your attention is spread to thin then your likelihood of success in any one area is diminished. Whereas if you're focused on only one or two primary objectives your odds for success increase dramatically. Personally my focus has been almost exclusively in two areas lately. My new career with ADP and my family. Emily is pregnant with our second child (coming next year), and somehow Colette is already 20 months old. Even though I'm working less than I've ever worked in my life (40-50 hours a week) family obligations have quickly taken up the extra time... Which is absolutely fine with me! This is the primary reason I've not been blogging nearly as regularly as I have in the past. I'm hopeful that I'm able to post a little more frequently than I have of late. However, Colette doesn't seem to be a big fan of sleeping which really limits my opportunities. The way that I network has really followed the same path. I find myself much more focused on the relationships that have proven over and over again to be the most productive. Making it a priority to contribute to a smaller group of people allows me to make larger contributions, and the rewards are far greater than when I spread myself too thin. What are your priorities? Do you have too many? Take the time to evaluate what's truly important in your life. What areas are most important, and where do you want to concentrate your success? Until next time… Happy Networking! Scott IngramNetworkInAustin.com
