Most people try an unfocused, “scattergun” approach to success… They “shoot everything they’ve got,” assuming that something will succeed.
That may seem like a good idea, but it’s fatal to your sense of FOCUS…
And FOCUS is what you need to succeed.
In this video I trace the source of “focus” — and share,
- Why the “scattergun” approach to success may seem intuitive — but it’s actually a problem you must work against,
- Why shooting toward ONE THING is critically important,
- Why priorities are like arms.. and how when you say you have more than two of them, you go crazy,
- What high-tech startups, user interface designers, and Apple Inc., can teach you about focus, and
- The path to focus that you can follow, so you have a natural flow from your “inner state” to your “external success.”
This was a much needed reinforcement for me that I don’t need that much to be successful in my business. And that being focused on what my heart wants most is exactly where I need to be. Big relief!
Thanks Dmitri!

Dmitri – thank you for the video. I really liked how you talked about focus from several different perspectives! One very minor tip would be for you to find better words than to keep saying “thing” – e.g. article, speech, video.
Again, a useful video (and explanation of this “wood behind the arrow” metaphor!).

Thanks Sam! I’ll try to say “thing” less! – Dmitri
