I can’t tell you how many times a day I yell those words to myself (inside my head – so people don’t think I’m crazy), FOCUS, RON!

So.. this little bit of inspiration from Daren Hardy led to a deep discussion with my friend Travis Haley. I don’t want to take anything away from the video, so watch this quick clip before you read on.

Okay. How many did you get? I saw them all. But I didn’t see the dancing bear. Which I first thought was a bad thing. But Travis took another approach and said, there are times we need to focus hard and ignore the dancing bears in our lives.

I’ll be thinking about this for days, but where are YOU? Are you distracted by dancing bears? Or are you missing something because you are too focused on a more minor task?  Or is there some other life lesson we can take out of this?

I look forward to your reply in the comments below. Now, if you’ll excuse me, I’ve got to focus and ignore a couple of dancing bears.
