One of the greatest benefits of training in the martial arts is the development of focus. Think about it, if you are sparring with another individual and you get distracted, you could get kicked in the head. Of course, this will give you greater reason to focus next time. The same applies to business. You lose focus, make a mistake and it’s just like getting kicked in the head, but a lot less painful. Today’s society is full of distractions and it is hard to have the focus needed to be successful, what I like to call single mindedness. Always remember, energy goes where attention goes. If your attention is in two, three or four different areas, your results will reflect the lack of progress. If you have strong focus on a single activity distraction free, you will be more productive and spend less time doing the task. This in turn it will free you up to accomplish whatever is important at the time.
