It’s not easy to stay focussed. Or is it?

Mentioned in this episode:

My new book is out now

You’ve got a bold vision and a strategy to achieve it! But why does your company seem to be standing still? Why is the gap between what strategy promises and what it delivers so vast and disheartening? And what to do about it? Find out in my new book “The PATH to Strategic Impact”: https://geni.us/the-path

Transcripts

Speaker:

Did you know that the universe is on a mission to distract you from

Speaker:

remaining focused on what matters most?

Speaker:

It will never stop trying to get you off track.

Speaker:

Even if you once started from a position of total clarity about what

Speaker:

matters most, new ideas constantly pop up, new paths want to be explored

Speaker:

and, generally, times change.

Speaker:

Which sometimes means that new opportunities open up.

Speaker:

More often, these are just distractions.

Speaker:

That's why it's so important to play clarity as an infinite game by constantly

asking ourselves:

are we still on track?

asking ourselves:

Do our actions still reflect what we want to be known for

asking ourselves:

and what matters most to us?

asking ourselves:

And did we let go off the nonessential things, the distractions?

asking ourselves:

Let's just refuse the universe, the triumph of distracting you, will you?

asking ourselves:

Although, now that I mentioned this here's something that might be worth it.

asking ourselves:

The book “Essentialism” helps you recognize the utter unimportance of

asking ourselves:

almost anything so that you can focus on what truly matters, which to me

asking ourselves:

sounds really useful to be prepared for the infinite game of clarity.

asking ourselves:

But now, you're in a dilemma.

asking ourselves:

Should you let yourself become distracted by a book that teaches

asking ourselves:

you how to not get distracted?

I told you:

clarity is an infinite game and the universe is on a mission

I told you:

to make it as hard as possible.
