3. Fearsome Focus. Dave Lakhani, speaker, trainer, and author of the Power Of An Hour has come up with a fearsome focus strategy that works. In his book, he suggests focusing for an hour at a time on a specific action step of one of your business goals, no more, no less. He recommends that you block out time each day for this fearsome focus hour, and that you divide that focus time into 45 minutes fearsome focus, and 15 minutes doing something else. Below is a summary of his strategy.

• Write down action steps for what you intent to accomplish in your 45-minute fearsome focus time.
• Surround yourself with all the tools you need to get the job done before you begin.
• Don't allow distractions.
• Launch into your project with gusto.
• Evaluate success along the way by reviewing steps, then immediately re-engage in fearsome focus.
• If distracted, instantly dismiss distraction and re-engage.
• Complete all action steps.
• Acknowledge completion and relax.
• Remain in fearsome focus for 45 minutes, and then do something different for 15 minutes. After an hour, move on to something else.

That's it folks. These are the steps to take if you want to set goals that stick. All you need to do is activate, eliminate, and focus. Keep in mind, though, that it is ridiculous to spend time focusing on something you don't intend to do. That's a failed goal in the making. Instead, if you find that a goal no longer serves you, replace or revise it with one that does.

Happy goal setting!
