Brilliance is it a color…Personal accomplishment… Or something else… Read on to find out.

Priority focus works.  I know it to be true.  Having been unfocused for the the majority of my teenage and college years…focus brings a measure of sanity to a landscape of life that many times bordered on chaos and disorganization.

My friends and my family have affectionately  noted that this was a part of my personality that was the least attractive to them.  My husband often hinted no actually out right stated that my A.D.D. made him a little crazy….but he was willing to take the good with the bad as he’d promised until death do us part, and sometimes the death part he found very  appealing. (just kidding.)

I can tell you since implementing this program. The Power of Focus Workshop. The Power of Focus: What the World’s Greatest Achievers Know about The Secret to Financial Freedom & Success
I’ve experienced dramatic jumps in productivity as well as income.  I discovered a practical method, that made it easy to clarify my unique talents… And that’s one word  Mike says definitely describes me…. unique.

One of the things I had to buckle down and take inventory of was, what was  really going on during my typical week.  This reality check is usually very revealing.  Basically, you make a list of all the activities you usually work on in a typical week.

When I added up the total of all my activities it was close to 34.  You can’t do 34 things each week and be totally focused.  Even 20 activities is far too many.  I was scattered and more prone to interruptions and distractions.

I was in shock when I analyzed how much of my week was fragmented, overwhelmed, and out-of-control.  I was stressed out and unfairly witchy to my family.  I think it was a Godsend that I picked up this book…The Power of Focus: What the World’s Greatest Achievers Know about The Secret to Financial Freedom & Success
….. It was screaming to me from the shelf in the airport bookstore when I was flying out  for a speaking engagement.

I devoured the first few chapters, and the simplicity of what they were recommending, hit me upside the head like a 2 x 4.

Create a time log.  Simply record everything you do at 15 minute intervals.  Keep a notebook with you and do this for for five days and you will have a super accurate record.  This takes a little discipline, but you’ll find it’s well worth the effort.  This will clearly demonstrate how you are investing or wasting your time.

Remember the definition of brilliance we discussed in an earlier post?  These are the  activities that you do effortlessly, they give you energy, and produce the greatest results in income for your business.  So the next step is to list three things that you are brilliant at doing in your business.  Critical point here… are any of them directly involved in income generating activities?  If not, you probably need to make some major decisions in the near future.

This question gets three stars…. In a typical week what percentage of your time do you spend on your brilliant activities?  And be honest.  Often the answer is 15 to 25%.  Even if 60% of any percent of your time is being used profitably, there’s still a lot of room for improvement.  What if you could refine this to 80 or 90%?  Remember your bottom line income is directly linked to the amount of time you spend in your areas of brilliance.

The size of your opportunities in life will be determined by your level of brilliance.

Next, you want to look at your original list of weekly activities and select three things that you don’t like doing, resist doing  or are just no good at.  There’s no shame in admitting that you have a few weaknesses.  I have a smorgasbord of them.  I hate paperwork, bookkeeping, setting up appointments… doing follow-up calls.  But those are all things that drive my business and all the little details that bring the project to completion are usually found on that list.  So of course these need to be done, but not necessarily by me.  Hallelujah.

If these activities tend to drain your energy instead of expanding it,  and if this is as true for you as it was for me.  Wake up…. When you keep on doing work you detest you need to remind yourself that this is futile.  I love how the well-known speaker Rosita Perez explains it! “When the horse is dead, get off!  Stop flogging yourself.”  There are other options.

We will look at some of those options in an upcoming post.
