What is your prime business focus?

Are you sure that is what it is?

To me the prime focus in business is what you concentrate the majority of your time on. So if you spend the majority of your time looking at Facebook or being on Twitter, then that is the prime focus. Tell me, how much have you earned on Facebook or Twitter? If you are saying that your company pays you anyway – think again. If they see you slacking off, some one else can surely improve on your results, couldn’t they?

Can I make a suggestion? Why don’t you keep track of the time you spend doing all your activities for one week? This way you can really see your focus.

Then you can make the decision to improve your life.

Are some people born luckier than others?

Do they have an advantage over you?

There is no doubt that some people have been born into money. That meaning that they had family that created wealth before they were born. The question is; are they luckier than you? That depends on the meaning you give to the work ‘lucky’. I’ve met some very honorable people who were born into money. I’ve also met some absolute jerks who were born into money. Let me focus on the honorable ones.

The honorable ones have decided that success only comes before work in the dictionary. They have decided that they are blessed but have decided to make a mark in the world by their own initiative. They were going to work! I enjoy the word initiative because it means one's personal and responsible decision. That decision is to take action and not depend on what they were part of at birth.

Take for example Mark Zuckerberg the founder of Facebook. In a recent interview with Mark’s Mom and Dad with New York magazine, the Zuckerberg's revealed that like their son they are thrifty and do not flash their cash around. Ed Zuckerberg founded a business in 1978 but refuses to retire because his career is his ‘baby’. In other words he enjoys his work.

So no matter what circumstances you were born into, you need to take initiative, enjoy your work and be thrifty. That way you can be one of the luckiest people alive.

When today can you start to refocus?

What are the keys to growth and happiness in business?

If you not interested in happiness, let’s look at growth.

Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook stated recently that “Even if our mission sounds big, it starts small — with the relationship between two people. Personal relationships are the fundamental unit of our society. Relationships are how we discover new ideas, understand our world and ultimately derive long-term happiness.”

He said it all when it comes to business – relationships are the key.
