One of the most crucial factors in developing next-level focus involves emotional control. The most critical error I see people make in business, competition, and relationships is the tendency to lose control of their emotions when the heat starts to rise or when they are faced with adversity. Winners stay calm and channel that stress into productive energy. Losers complain, fly off the handle, and lose their cool. In my experience, this comes down to a fault in focus. And it begs the question…are you focused on the right things? Or, do you tend to focus on the things that you can’t control?
