Focus on one thing at a time. Avoid all distractions. Multitasking can be very dangerous. Texting and driving is just one example. Dividing your attention during important events is downright suicidal. Pilots must pay attention to detail, soldiers have to keep their focus on the mission at hand. Your children are in a recital and you are on the phone? Get it!

Have you ever been out with your family when suddenly you get a phone call? Or maybe you are trying to work on some marketing or money-making activities and get distracted with email, skype, Facebook, etc.?

Well, I know I have and I want to encourage you to live in the NOW! Stop all the distractions and focus on what you are doing… It will not only make your family more happy but it will also make your Bank account more happy!

Living in the Now Lessons for Business

When I am out on a date or with a client I always turn my phone off. Why, because the most important person in my life at that moment is the person that I am with. Think about it… how do you feel when you are conversing and the person answers the phone? Downright rude huh!

When I meet with my real estate clients, I do not have my phone on. Looking busy and important is the last thing on my mind. I want my clients to know that now it’s their time. I am listening and we are trying to find the best home for you or come up with the best-selling strategy for your house. No distractions period!
