5 things that define your success and failure Part - 5

Use a rifle, not a shotgun


When you fire a shotgun, your shot hits a wider area, but it lacks focused precision. In business, a shotgun approach gets the job done, but usually doesn't yield outstanding results. May be you will hit something with a shotgun, but the price in doing so seldom provides the big payback. Laser-sharp approach will take more planning and forethought, but in the end you'll probably save time and resources. It pays to identify exactly what needs to be done and then focus relentlessly on accomplishing those objectives.


When you take the time to focus, have discipline, and require follow-up, whether you're a business owner, a manager, or an employee moving up the ladder, you're creating a road map that documents what has to be accomplished and by when.
