read this if you're overwhelmed and out of focus

I know you are.

You’ve tried to keep up with industry trends, with every guru on the internet, or even try to digest my content and apply it to your life…. It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas. You feel people are already in vacation mode (at least mentally), and you can’t help but reflect on what 2024 was like for you.

But wait. Let’s not feel guilty and cry in the corner. We don’t need that.
If there’s a problem, there’s a solution. If there’s no solution, then it’s not a problem.

Let’s dive into it.

The first truth is that you need to be a better selector. Simple as that.

  • What you consume: books you read, podcasts you listen to, shows you watch.

  • Where you invest your energy: your daily habits, events you attend, projects you dedicate your time to, time you dedicate to rest vs work, the problems you try to solve, challenges you choose to take on.

  • Who you let influence you: mentors or role models you look up to, whose advice you consider valuable, whose opinions you allow to affect your decisions.

Most importantly… What thoughts do you entertain, what narratives do you allow to define you, what beliefs do you reinforce through your actions (for example, never start that specific idea because you don't think you’re good enough) and what doubts do you choose to let go of?

Being out of focus overwhelms you; distractions are only 50% of it.
So I ask, why are you letting yourself get distracted?

The second truth is that you probably don’t have something to look up to every day.

If you don’t have your mind on something to build, develop, or create, you will get easily distracted by anything that can come across your mind, phone, email… Your friend who has and wants a life very different than yours and so on…

Having goals is not about being an entrepreneur.
Goals help you shape your decisions and, as a consequence, your day and your life.

What would be the one goal you could commit to yourself today?
For the rest of 2024 or…. If you want to dream bigger… for the whole year of 2025?
