Focus has always been a critical component of business success. When facing a multitude of choices and distractions, those who consistently move toward achieving their goals have mastered the ability to focus.

In this teleseminar, Silver Rose will take you on a laugh-filled journey of how she has used the power of focus to double her income every year since 2003, and how you can, too.

You will learn how to gain success quicker and with less effort by leveraging the Law of Attraction (you get what you focus on), and you will be challenged to investigate your own approach to business to find out what you are focused on (you may be surprised).

Participants will walk away with the tools for:

• Landing clients versus gathering prospects;
• Qualifying potential clients instead of merely scheduling appointments; and
• Attracting profit instead of income (she who keeps the most wins!).

By focusing on the results you want instead of the process for getting them, you will achieve results as quickly as you’ve always dreamed you could.

This morning I woke up after having fallen asleep on the couch AGAIN. It was 5:15 a.m. I quickly cued the program I was watching when I fell asleep, then watched the last seven minutes so I could erase it from the DVR. Still groggy, I set my cell phone’s alarm for 7:15 and climbed into bed to catch at least an hour of rest in a totally stretched-out position.

I dozed for about twenty minutes and woke thinking about my grandson. He’ll be in kindergarten next year. The pre-school he now attends decided to cancel next year’s kindergarten class. I know it was a difficult decision for the school to make; however, my plans for Jayden now have been dashed against the rocks of life. So who said life was fair, or easy, anyway? Not me.

I know God will provide a way for Jayden . . . and me.

Back to my waking thoughts. Jayden has grown so quickly - even more quickly than my daughter did. But that’s because I’m older. Because I’m older and am trying to get my business to soar, I tend to sit at my computer for too much of the day. The stress of the last six months has taken its toll on me in many ways — two of which are that I’ve spent even more time at the computer and I’ve gained more weight. I’m tired. And I’m sure it has nothing to do with falling asleep on the couch . . .

I’ve spent less time with my grandson.

As I was waking, I thought of what I could do with my grandson that would make him happy. I realized that there was something we could do today that we might not have the opportunity to do for too much longer. When he got out of his bed and came to mine, I asked him if he wanted to walk to school. His face lit up and he said, “Yeah!” The next thing I heard was him making his lunch for school. Imagine that - five years old and able to make his own lunch for school! I told you he’s growing up quickly.

I was excited to walk to school and to spend time with him. Not as excited as him, mind you, but excited. There’s something about walking together that insulates us from the outside world. It was just the two of us.

Today he’ll take a nap at school. Tomorrow, if it’s not raining, we’ll walk to school again.

Sometimes my sense of humor gets me in trouble. Most of the time, it gets people laughing. Here’s a little something I wrote about an incident that occurred the other day . . . I hope it brings a smile to your face.

We’ve all fallen victim to them. Whether it’s been on a carpet, a seamless wood floor, or the smooth marble of a mall, we’ve all been attacked at one time or another. One moment, we’re walking along, doing what we do as naturally as breathing, and then suddenly it happens. We trip! Then we turn around to look at where we were that split second before to see what was in the way. And we see . . . nothing!

It’s a common phenomenon. Now it has a name: Floor Gremlins. Before now, Floor Gremlins were known to act only in pairs, their chance of success, 50%. However, just as certain strains of bacteria have grown in strength and are now resistant to antibiotics, so now Floor Gremlins have increased not only in strength, but accuracy. And they’ve moved outdoors.

Case in point: last night I was walking back into the house along the even pavement of the walkway and the next thing I knew I was moving headlong into that pavement. In that moment, the memory of my five-year-old grandson throwing his new Frisbee at me with the speed and accuracy of an Olympic champion went through my mind. My hands! I’m going to break my hands!

I fell flat against the pavement, my $200 reading glasses landing three feet in front of me. I laid there for a moment and happily realized that no blood was spewing from my mouth and my teeth were intact. But what about my hands? I rolled over onto the grass and for the second time in my life, saw stars. Then I felt the sting.

My natural reaction had been to stop my fall with my hands - my most precious tool after my brain and my computer. As I lay there, I tried to curl my fingers - just to see if I could. Ah - they curled; then they clenched.

I began to feel the coolness of the wet grass and decided that I needed to get up and go into the house. Upon entering the house, I immediately took four aspirins and got the Boo Bunny out of the freezer. The vein in my left wrist was three times its normal size and the skin on both palms was ragged. With a sigh of relief, I discovered there wasn’t a scratch on my Skagen watch. But my right hand, my predominant hand, was beginning to stiffen. My chest felt like it had been sanded. And I knew without looking, my knees were bruised.

Today, I’m as stiff as an eighty-year-old couch potato. I sat at the computer most of the day and when it was time to fetch my grandson from school, I could hardly get out of the chair.

Let this be a warning! Floor Gremlins are growing in strength and number. They are no longer constrained to living indoors, waiting for the unsuspecting. They are expanding their territory and can be found places never found before. Beware!
