Warren Buffett says that the most important thing you can bring to the game is focus. What is focus? He says it is knowing what is important.
Buffett stays focused on his value approach to investing. During the dot com bust he was hardly impacted when most other investors had jumped on the internet/hi-tech bandwagon.
Just watch Michael Jordan or Tiger Woods and you will see focus in action. Their concentration, intensity and passion are palpable.
In our multi-tasking, over stimulating and over scheduled worlds, focus is a rare commodity. It requires prioritizing, concentrating, being present and turning off mindless chatter.
Focus separates mediocrity from greatness. Start bringing it to your game!
