Focus! Don't have the shiny object syndrome!
Really think about what it is that you're trying to accomplish and do blocks of time, that right there is absolutely the trick! It's the key. I've been doing it for years!

20 years ago when my friend, Bob Warren, started mentoring me and coaching me he taught me to listen better. I want to tell you it is difficult! We would go to restaurants and we would talk. I'd be looking around the room to see who was in there, who was coming in and he would say, “listen, you got to focus, you've got to make eye contact with the person you're talking to and not be thinking about what you're going to say next. You need to pay attention to what they're saying because people only remember how you make them feel and you make them feel unimportant when you don't pay attention to what they're saying.
I'm going to tell you, I'll just be very honest and transparent with you that was difficult for me. For a long long time, it was like every time you were talking I was thinking man I got something to say. I can match that i can one-up! I can't wait till they take a breath so I can interject! I want to tell you it takes a lot of discipline and a lot of wherewithal in order to withhold the things that you want to say! Listen, what they say is important!

I've been coaching now for about seven or eight years. I've had the privilege of coaching men all over the world and there's a handful of guys that are willing to take that attitude. They're willing to take whatever they've got to do and go crush it.
Now, I just want to know, are you that kind of guy? Are you willing to do whatever it takes in order to be successful?

I want to ask you today, what are some of your goals? What is it that you're trying to accomplish in life? Are you following through with your goals? Are you doing the task every single day in order to get you there?
We can dream but until we write it down and we establish a plan that's all it's ever gonna be as a dream. But when we have goals and we have a strategy by which to get there we can accomplish those things.

Whenever you are going to a vacation with your wife/family/loved ones, I just want to encourage you to try disconnecting. Start out, you know, with maybe two or three days. Hopefully you'll get to a point where you can spend an entire week or maybe even two weeks and completely unplug! Try it and watch to see what happens. I think it will speak volumes to your family.
