I just got done watching a short, homemade video that mega-star & producer Tyler Perry made called, "How To Be Successful". You can find it in a Youtube search. It was very uplifting and clear in its message.
Tyler has a rags-to-riches story filled with gratitude and inspiration. Many people learned about him through his plays, movies, or through one of many Oprah shows that he has been on. My nephew, Darren, directed his first movie, Diary of a Mad Black Woman, in 2005.
I wanted to share two main points Tyler mentions that really grabbed me.
Belief in your dream and in having singular focus.
He mentions people who are doing one thing one day, then another thing the next day. His success has come from believing in his singluar dream, and keeping the focus of that one dream.
As you build your business and your life, are you "all over the place" or are you focused on getting to a specific point or place?
Is your singular goal in a picture on your wall, or in words on your wall? Are you motivated by it everyday?
Since I am a sales and revenue coach, my focus is to help people grow revenues - but this singluar focus approach can work in any aspect of one's life - getting closer to family, getting healthier, or getting more profitable.
Check out Tyler Perry's video, and comment on your singular focus for 2012 - your comments, ideas, and successes help others - so be sure to share them.
