Network marketers can also benefit from this important concept by developing an ability to concentrate just on a single OBJECTIVE.
According to the book The Power of Focus by Jack Candield and Mark Victor Hansen, focus begins with removing bad habits and replacing them with good, healthy habits.
1) Begin setting GOALS Goals are the best way to become focused.
When you see a task or a target, your brain will just start working and will continuously move towards that goal until that goal is achieved.
Its in our nature to be always be working towards an objective.
Goals give you a reason and a sense of purpose.
If you don't have that then your probably lost.
Whats the common trait most unhappy people have? You guess..
it lack of purpose as a result of having no goals in life.
2) Seek out mentors to provide guidance.
A Mentor can provide you with guidance, keep you on track, and can offer direction for you to follow when your faced with difficulty and challenges.
They've been on that road you are on before so that they can give you great advice on what not to do.
They will, also, challenge you and hold you accountable to your goals.

I love food.

Drink more water as well.
