How to FOCUS and get rid of confusion/overwhelm

from Empire Builders with Nick James · host Nick James

It’s typical entrepreneurial behaviour to have many ideas and then want to act on all of them, meaning it’s difficult to achieve success. The importance and power of focusing on one thing should not be underestimated and can be key to achieving what you want in your business. Nick shares some great advice and asks ‘what’s the one thing that you could focus on and change that would make everything else easier? If you can learn how to focus and maintain it then you can achieve more and move forward towards your ultimate goals.   KEY TAKEAWAYS Focusing on one thing is very powerful. What’s the one thing that if you nailed it would make everything else easier or completely unnecessary? In business focusing on one thing over a period of time can bring great results. Focus on one thing a month and it can help you to overcome the overwhelm that you can find when you are in business. Get clear on the one thing that would make the biggest difference across all areas of your life. People want to make a change but create an overwhelming plan that is so far away from where they are now it’s impossible to achieve. If you focus on one change and maintain it over a month then you will have created a new habit.   BEST MOMENTS ‘When I’ve had great success, it’s been when I’ve been very focused on one idea or project’ ‘You can end up being pulled in many different directions and not achieving’ ‘It’s typical entrepreneur behaviour to have many ideas and then want to act on all of them’   VALUABLE RESOURCES The One Thing - Gary Keller   ABOUT THE HOST Nick James Nick dropped out of university at the age of 21, and failed spectacularly with his first coaching business, which forced him to take a £16k/yr telesales job.  Within 12 months he was top performer and left to start his second business at 24. This time he discovered a winning formula and before long had a multi-six-figure company. He then made a huge mistake which nearly put him out of business and cost him £50,000 in personal cash! Fortunately, Nick kept it afloat, turned it round, and sold that business 2 years later in a seven-figure deal.  He then co-founded a multi-million-pound marketing company, which he exited in 2015, and created Expert Empires. Today, Expert Empires is known as the UK's number one business event for Experts, with world-renowned celebrity speakers like Gary Vaynerchuk, Grant Cardone, Chalene Johnson, David Goggins, and Lewis Howes gracing the stage. Nick also specialises in helping Coaches, Consultants, Speakers, Trainers, and Authors take their businesses from zero to six figures and beyond through his Expert Empires Mastermind programme.
