FOCUS – follow one course until successful
I first came across this advice on a John Lee Dumas podcast.
Recently I also saw it as the title of a Huffington Post article, where it tells us that it was actually Robert Kiyosaki who coined the phrase “FOCUS – follow one course until successful.” Robert Kiyosaki is the author of Rich Dad, Poor Dad and has done very well for himself.
Focus on Making $33 a month
Focus gets mentioned a lot on Wealthy Affiliate and for good reason.
Leoemery has been on Wealthy Affiliate since 2003 and is now very successful so when he told us to FOCUS on making $33 a month when he is someone who is moving towards 7-figures a month then I wanted to know why.
I decided to have a look around and see who else had been writting about focus and what they suggest we might focus on.

For him scheduling is particularly important but so his remembering he is choosing to be at home with his family.
He gets quite a few questions about his scheduling which he answers – especially on page 5.
Process is more important than outcome
If we have a challenging goal it is obviously going to take some time so we had better enjoy the journey!!
Jetrbby reminds us to focus on the process, not the outcome.
Here is a quote from his article which I found intriguing
I definitely agree with the word beginning with “c” – but I am still pondering the one beginning with “s”.
Can you guess what the missing words are?

Hi Chris,
I wrote this as much for myself as anyone else!
These are certainly the lessons I need to remind myself. And who doesn’t want to improve their productivity!
Thanks for commenting!
Just like we have to focus on just one course at a time, we have to fcous on just one Tip at a time, know it’s a process and take everything one step at a time.
The reason process is more important than results is because it’s from the process that we learn more efficient and effective ways to be Instructors and Promoters of Life.
Thank you for this Article, it is a helpful reminder to FOCUS with insightful references.
