What should I focus on?

We have lots of things vying for our attention and our focus.  We have a choice to make moment by moment through everyday and that is what will I focus on?  They key when making this decision is to know what you have control over.  I coach salespeople and here is the key to success.

  # attempts/dials = contacts = sales  

There is only one part of this equation that I have direct control over and that is the #attempts to contact a prospect  i.e. dial the phone.  I have indirect control over contacts and sales by improving my skills, but my direct control is only over the activity I generate.  That is where I should be laser focus.
Determine what you have control over that helps you succeed and focus on it ... Expect to Win!
