Focus
When Warren Buffet was asked the most critical thing that a person needs to succeed, his answer was Focus.
If you don’t have focus, and I will add clarity to the mix, you will be hard-pressed to have the success you desire. Of course, you can still have success in life, though not to the level that one wants.
So what does it take to have this type of focus and clarity? How to sustain it consistently throughout your life. Like life itself, there is an ebb and flow. As you are traveling through this journey, your lens will be in and out of focus. Your objective is to keep it focused for as long as you can. As it starts to get cloudy, fuzzy by circumstances arising out of your control that fog up the lens, readjust, pivot, change it so that you can get back to being productive and back to where it is focused again.
The stronger the WHY, the easier the how becomes. The stronger the WHY easier it is to Focus. To be clear as to the direction that you want to go.

For example, my accountant spent years going to school and is continually educating himself on current tax law, etc. so that I DON’T HAVE TO. Cooks spend years training and sweating in kitchens and getting cuts and working long hours for shitty wages, so I can get an awesome meal and experience, so I DON’T HAVE TO. Medical professionals spend countless hours and years of training so they can diagnose my ailments, so I DON"T HAVE TO. The same goes for what everyone does. Teachers, lawyers, plumbers, coaches, entertainers, etc. all become experts in...

The Cost of Starting...or Not
A morning missive by Joshua G Gold
The other day I wrote about the cost of…. fill in the blank. Today I would like to discuss the cost of starting…or rather the cost of NOT.
The cost of starting that project or not…
The cost of starting that relationship or not…
The cost of starting that conversation or not…
The cost of starting a family or not
The cost of starting that company or not…
The cost of starting to read that book or not…
The cost of starting to develop a new habit or not…
The cost of starting to eat healthy or not
The cost of starting to exercise or not…
The cost of starting to love yourself or not...
The cost of starting to see the world differently or not.
There are costs associated with starting something, anything, or Not. What are the costs that are below the surface? Those costs that you cannot immediately see or feel or maybe even grasp at...
