Focus Matters: What Steve Jobs Can Teach You About Loving Your Business

The first topic discussed in my upcoming tele-class is the power of Focus. Serendipitously, as I reviewed my material one night, my channel surfing hit on a Steve Jobs biopic.

Here’s his quote on focus:

Steve Jobs focus quote

Jobs said that “focus and simplicity” were the foundation of Apple’s ethic.

As small business owners, his quote is especially important! I’m willing to bet that you have an overflow of good ideas; the challenge is to pick one to three of them to work on now, and let the others go (or at least table them). If you don’t, you’re going to feel perpetually overwhelmed, overworked, and your ability to implement your ideas will be crippled. Have you ever had the experience of seeing someone else promoting an idea you just never got around to? I certainly have, and it is not pleasant to be kicking yourself and thinking ‘I could have done that if I had only focused on it instead of flitting from idea to idea and not accomplishing anything’.
