Deliberate and focused action

Larry Janesky: Think Daily

You have an idea.

To accomplish a result, it takes deliberate and focused action.  

This action must be taken by a leader for longer than a day, longer than a week, and often longer than a month or year.

You have to be disciplined and learn, implement, communicate and persevere for longer than the original inspiration lasts.

Some people can’t do that.  They don’t have a long enough attention span.  Or they are chasing too many things.  Or they get distracted – often by another idea.

Ideas are free, and they are everywhere. Knowing or deciding which ones to chase and having the discipline to let go of most all the other ones so you can focus on “the one” is a trick most can’t pull off.

Are you taking deliberate and focused action on very few things? 

Are you staying with it long enough to get the result you wanted?
