Do you know why a thoroughbred race horse wears blinders during a race? I've only been to a few horse races in my life, but the answer is pretty clear.

The horse wears blinders so it doesn't get distracted. The jockey needs to know that the horse is looking straight ahead at all times because if it doesn't, it could mean disaster.

For those few minutes of the race, 100% concentrated focus and intensity is on nothing else except the race, persuing excellence and crossing the finish line in first place.

Of course, not every horse will come in first, some are faster than others, but one common thing they all have in common is this…

Every single horse in the race does cross the finish line.

What does this have to do with your business?

I see more than one question a week on various online communities from people struggling with focus, and being distracted and how to tame that beast.

It's not easy at first, especially with all the things coming at us every single day, but you have GOT to put on your blinders if you want to cross that finish line, otherwise you'll continue to wander and wonder why you business isn't moving forward.
