Get FocusedWritten by Daniel N. Brown

So, ask yourself what it is that you like to do? Once you discover it, then do it with all your might. Ecclesiastes 9:10 says, “Whatever your hand finds to do, do it with all your might.” It is vital that you know God’s will for your life. Things that are not God’s will for you get frustrating. They don’t manifest positive results because they are not part of God’s plan. In those cases you must be honest with yourself and stop pursuing those things. But, if you know with all your heart that God has spoken something to you, you must pursue it with everything you’ve got. But, even though something is God’s will for your life does not mean that it will always come easy. Paul says in 1 Corinthians 16:9, “A wide door of opportunity has opened unto me, and with it, many adversaries.” Unfortunately, devil is not just going to sit by and watch as you become outrageously blessed. You would become a huge threat to his devious plans to mess up lives of other people. So you becoming outrageously blessed would not be in devil’s best interest and he knows it. Now, devil will bug you whether you’re successful or not. You might as well be successful, so get focused!

Like in most successful undertakings, you will need someone who has information, knowledge, or connections you require to help you move ahead with your idea or your goal. Whether it is a coach, consultant, a business contact you met at a networking event, a friend of a friend who works in industry or person or business listed on yellow pages...make a phone call, send out an inquiry, set up a meeting, send out a resume, attend a workshop or find a way to make your intentions known. When you are stuck, seek out these sources because they will fan flames of your idea and provide you with an opportunity to move ahead faster. 5. Be willing to stick out your neck. What you want to accomplish is important and is worth risks you intend to take. You can no longer afford to shrink and hide in background. You must overcome your fears and take risks. Even if you don’t feel particularly confident about doing something, and are trembling in your boots, act confident and don’t let it show. Take a deep breath, do what you have to do and get it over with. The worst thing that can happen is that things may not go as you plan, but what if they do? Are you not willing to find out? You will be amazed at opportunities that await you if you stick out your neck and go for it! 6. Push your agenda. Be on look out for potential prospects that may have an interest in final product or service of your idea or project. Talk about what you are doing every chance you get, look out for opportunities everywhere you go, tell people what you are up to and what you want, people will remember you and let you know if something comes up. Since you will have already announced what you are up to, you will have to live up to that reputation. This will motivate you to keep focused on taking action and accomplishing your objectives in preparation for your future success.
