Prioritize And Focus Like Warren Buffett
Warren Buffett is famous for being incredibly wealthy and giving good advice. One of Buffett's most famous pieces of advice is commonly referred to as the 2-List Strategy or the 25:5 List Strategy. It's simple, but effective. Let's look at how it works.
 
Follow this process to use Buffet's 2-List Strategy to prioritize your goals and focus your energy:
 
  1. List the top 25 goals you'd like to accomplish in your lifetime.
    Take all the time you need to compile a long list of goals. Many of them you'll know right off the top of your head, but many will require more thought. (It might take a few days to a week to complete this step. Once you get started, you'll find that additional ideas pop into your head at random moments. Be sure to capture these. Feel free to make the initial list much longer than 25, but ultimately limit yourself to 25.)
  2. Choose the five most important.
    This is a little tougher. Choose the five most important goals from your list of 25 goals. Again, you might need some time to complete this step. Imagine that you only had the opportunity to accomplish five goals. Which would you choose?

  3. Create two lists.
    Put the five most important goals in one list, and the remaining 20 in another list. Keep both of them handy. Both are useful, just not for the same reasons.
The list of your top five goals now becomes your focus.
   
The list of 20 items might seem important to you, but they are to be avoided at all costs. They are now just a list of appealing distractions that will keep you from accomplishing the most important five. Keep this list available. Remind yourself regularly of these items. View them as poison to your success.
 
It's important to avoid those other 20 items until you've achieved success with the primary five. They can be very appealing ways of wasting your time and energy. The most successful people are focused on a small number of goals. Prioritization and focus are necessary for success.
 
Warren Buffett has proven that his advice is worth considering. Get clear on your goals and focus. Make a list of your 25 most important goals and prioritize them today. Then, get started making your top five goals your reality!

Are You Ready To Be FEARLESS?
Failure is part of life, and most certainly part of business. We don't often acknowledge it, but failure is also a fundamental element of our success. Our instinct is to be ashamed of failure, maybe because we don't like how it makes us feel--humiliated, as though we have done something wrong. But if you can shift your perspective and look at failure not as something to be ashamed of but something valuable, you can begin to understand that it's through failure that we truly learn to succeed.

Make Your Vision A Reality Today With MOMENTUM Mentoring!
Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Nothing great was ever accomplished alone." Having a mentor is said to be one of the most important keys to success. I believe this is especially true early in the infancy of your business, your aspirations to climb the corporate ladder, or your ministry but truly it is imperative at any point in your journey. Possibly you've never had a mentor, and the thought of using one is new to you, think back through your life. There is a good chance that you have had a mentor and maybe not realized it. Usually our first mentors are our parents, or another close family member. As we get older, teachers often take this role. These mentors are great for certain times in our lives, however, if you are ready to get ahead in your business, in your leadership career, in your ministry, it is time to find a mentor who can help you get to the next level; and I believe MOMENTUM MENTORING is just what you need to get to your next level and THRIVE!
