Published on Wealthy Affiliate — a platform for building real online businesses with modern training and AI.

There will be moments when you feel frustrated, overwhelmed, and doubtful while working on your online business. You might not achieve results as quickly as you hoped. During those moments, it's easy to lose your focus and momentum. You want to avoid losing focus and momentum because it'll only slow down your progress.

Peter Voogd, entrepreneur and author of 6 Months to 6 Figures, shared an activity on his YouTube channel on how to refocus your attention on what really matters. You should do this activity at the beginning of each month, so I waited for the first of the month to post this Wealthy Affiliate blog, so that you can do it right away. Here is a template for refocusing your attention on what really matters based on Voogd's information in the video:
