Focus focus focus
So I finished reading one of my most favorite books of all time, it's called the millionaire fast lane. Some guy that does affiliate marketing on YouTube actually recommended it to me. So what did I get from it? I got a lot of things I guess. But I did something really crazy today, I deleted this instant messaging app, that's really popular in my country. Basically that just means that I cut myself off from everybody. Absolutely everybody that I know in this country. what Do you think about that?
I didn't even tell my girlfriend yet and she's going to really get mad at me. Basically the idea that I had behind that is to eliminate the noise. Sometimes I watch YouTube and I watch some really good YouTube videos. But I just found that I wait too much time on instant messaging. Do you find yourself doing the same thing? And maybe you're not really as crazy and deliberate as I am but I just decided, you know what I need to cut this off. One thing that I got out of this book was that you need to focus on the one thing. And once that thing is done and once that thing blows up, then you can do whatever you want.
So most people, like for example if you look at Bill Gates, focused on his one thing which was Microsoft. so the analogy they use in the book I read is LeBron James. Now he didn't go to do this thing and that thing and another thing. All he did was eat sleep and drink basketball. And that's why everybody knows him. Once that one thing blows up, you can do whatever you want.
It's raining here in Taiwan, so I hope this was somewhat helpful to you. Focus on what you want and after that go wherever and do whatever you want!

Good read, Mike! I think we all struggle from time to time with focus, but you’re right that it is a must for success!
Yeah absolutely. Actually you know what, I’m really good at focusing at night time. And I think that I should probably do that a lot more. Like for example last time I did a nice Chinese lesson, I focus on my goals. I was going to do some stuff for wealthy affiliate, but my phone ran out of battery. Are usually watch the videos for the training on my phone.
I watch a lot of the videos on my phone too. And I’m the same way about being able to focus at night. I’ve tried to do early mornings, but that just never seems to work for me. Best of luck to you!
Way to go, Mike! I'm not fast enough for instant messaging, and it's extremely annoying!
You’re 100% right about the Instant messaging being annoying. I just, I think you know why do we need to be in conversation all the time. Why do we need to know everything that’s happening across the world. Here’s the thing, I think if you really wanna talk to me just call me
I have never had instant messaging, don't intend to have it and have always deleted it on every platform and phone I have ever participated in and owned... it takes a heck of a lot of memory..lols ; Oh and it did not take a book for me to do so!! Ha ha

That’s cool that you said that. Actually I had a friend of mine, and he’s only 15 years older than me. But he said to me that he didn’t even have a cell phone. He said to me, Mike if you wanna call me then just call me at home on my landline. And whenever I get home I’ll get back to you.
That's because he must have liked you...I unfortunately have had a cell phone ever since they came out remember the Nokia..or the Motorola beam me up Scotty!! lols although sometimes felt it belonged at the bottom of the river when I was fishing...lols;
