Narrowed and Focused

With the mind state of an entrepreneur what must you and I do to accomplish our aspirations? Through my reading of business and self improvement books, I have noticed it is wise to be "narrowed and focused" on a specific subject and as much as possible, and to capitalize on our strengths. When Luciano Pavarotti (star opera singer) graduated from a singing school, he asked his dad, if he should be a teacher or singer, his dad said, "If you try to sit on two chairs you will fall between them, for in life you must choose one chair to sit on."

Look at legendary music bands. When they travel for concerts, they focus on what they do best and do it well. They don't concern themselves with scheduling radio interviews, making travel plans, make sure the sound system is right for the concert, they just show up...get off the bus...rock the house...and leave. Other people on their team take care of their specific roles.

According to the book Soar With Your Strengths In 1921 Dr. Louis B. Terman, a Stanford psychologist set about the study of genius by tracking 1,470 genius level children though out their life time. The study was known as 'the grand daddy of all life span research' .... according to the study, what distinguished those of spectacular achievement from those of low achievement and failure was 'prudence and forethought, willpower, perservareance and desire. They chosed among their many talents and concentrated their efforts.

Your assignment- Write down a full description of your strongest strength, characterizing the strength; were it takes place, what it feels like when you are practicing it, your greatness moment experience it. Pack in all the imagery you can, for the more vivid the description, the more likely it is that the strength will recur.

The chair I have chosen to sit on is "apartment investing." What is yours?
