Comment on The Annual Review: How I Get Clarity, Confidence and Conviction In My Life and Business by Taylor Pearson

Hey Brian.

Haven’t ever heard anyone describe it as condensed perspective, but I like it and will be stealing it for future marketing material – thanks

Agreed on finding your own questions. As I’ve started writing more, I’m much more acutely aware of how important language and verbiage is for me and staying motivation so also like to do a fair bit of customizing.

Great stuff Taylor–found your blog through TMBA and come here for the condensed perspective. I tend to shy away from the cliffs-notes and blogosphere in general, but your articles are a good place to come for the mindset I hope to cultivate by reading most of the same books.

Great article Taylor and thanks for the reminder. Focus is a funny thing. You could say “I’m focused on new shiny objects” or “I’m focused on this one shiny object.”

Both would be focus, but one would seem to have a much better pay off than the other. I think that’s the key – using the Buffet method of simplifying goals down and making a choice on what you’re focused on and then what you’re working on is probably the best takeaway from this article.

So Focus + Get Shit Done = Success?

Thanks...
