I slipped into a "blog recession" these last few weeks.
Thanks to Mr. Ness, I have NOT let a sharp downturn of an entire month hit my posts. Talking with him today - well, not just his words, but really more his spirit as a friend and colleague who has been with me since the beginning of my business two years ago - compelled me on-line. Right now.
Reminded me why I write. What is great about communicating. Where I started.
What really has happened since early March is that I've purposefully moved into single-mindedness. There's something I sense is at the right moment to move forward. I want to be there to catch the moment and spur it on if I can. (Ironically, this is actually related to Goal #3 that I havn't yet published.)
My sole view for a period of time is about establishing a growth trend with my largest client and making it sustainable.I feel a change in the momentum. The energy has been fun and rewarding because I'm sharing it with a team.
The rest of my energy has been invested in Goal #2. Tonight Goal #1 gets a deep breath. (Thanks to Mr. Ness, who didn't even express frustration when I admitted I hadn't yet read his recently published article when I know he'll be one of the first to read this post. Really sorry. A good kick deserved and noted.)
In fact, periods of single-minded focus can also be creative. Problem solving. Moving forward with drive. Discovering new ways to meet a goal.
What one risks with singular focus is that while constantly drilling deeper and deeper into the goal, you forget to look up once in a while. And the next thing you know, you raise your head for a moment in the sun to find that everyone else has moved to a new beach.
OK I'm mature enough by now to pay attention often enough. And if not, by now I thankfully have good friends who remind me.
I feel happy and somehow recentered to have returned to this page. More soon!
