Love it! It is true, the power of focus is amazing. And I always say, focus on what you love, what you are strong at, and forget about fixing weaknesses (make improvements, instead, to your pre-existing strengths, where you can add new skills and technologies and processes and attitudes to them). Focus focus focus. It is lean, clean, and fun... plus effective. Spot on! Love it! It is true, the power of focus is amazing.

For my business, I let go all of all the marketing activities I felt I "should" be doing and picked just two (which are related, so almost seem like one) and am throwing myself fully into those. You are very right about needing to to pair fewer things with hard work. It's only been a week and a half, but i am finding that having fewer things makes it easier to work harder on those things.

You are very right about needing to to pair fewer things with hard work. It’s only been a week and a half, but i am finding that having fewer things makes it easier to work harder on those things.
