How Long Can You Get Away With Ignoring The Basics?

Pretty much everything we want to accomplish in life can be broken down into a few basic, yet critical, actions that produce results. It's the 80/20 rule you've no doubt heard many times before.

When it comes to business, I can't think of a time when there were more reasons excuses to become distracted and unfocused. I mean, entire books are now being written about our culture's lack of ability to focus deeply on anything for longer than 8 seconds. Those authors theorize that anyone who can focus deeply for sustained periods of time will be indispensable in the workforce. As long as we focus on the right things, don't you agree? 

So how long can one get away with ignoring the 20% of the activities that really matter? Well, when it comes to my figure and how tight my jeans get, the answer is a short four weeks! hahaha!

But seriously, the kids are back in school and now is the time to refocus. In this week's message I talk about two simple basic activities that can get you back on track faster than I can get back into my favorite skinny jeans!
