This is going to be so good today, how to practice staying focused. I hear from so many people all the time who say, "Lady J., I just need to focus. How do I do that?"
Today, I'm going to give you some practical tips and takeaways, and I want you to know that you absolutely can stay focused.
It is a choice.
You prioritize what is on your to-do list. Nobody else can do that for you. It's easy to say, "Well, I have this. I have that."
The truth of the matter is, is that you allow yourself to have on that list what you have. Nobody is dictating to us that we need to do certain things. We do those things, so I want you to feel empowered to focus after listening to today's show.
Does that mean you need to delegate?
Does that mean that you need to reprioritize?
Maybe you need to get rid of some stuff. All of these things put together will help you focus in an even greater way.
