FOCUS ON FOCUS



Once you believe in delivering diamond, you are a diamond. On a particular day if you work with sincerity you feel different, you feel differently in your energy levels also, you look different, and your internal world goes on top of the world. You remain composed while you deliver and create the value for valuable customers. Try to know what makes a difference to the customers.

What makes them excited.

Eastman had saved 300 dollars. He wanted to go for a vacation. One of his friends asked him to take a camera. He bought the camera, but then he understood why a camera was a luxury for the rich. He cancelled his vacation. He started developing his knowledge of photography for the development of cameras and reducing the process for developing the film. He read all the books on photography and in 1892 founded Eastman Kodak. Today, Kodak has the punch line, “We preserve beautiful memories” and he simplified the function
of camera to the extent that even a child could take pictures just by clicking and become a photographer. Whenever we commit ourselves to something, we actually need to understand it in its true meaning.

4. Ask with Conviction

Whenever you ask anybody about anything, ask with a belief, and with full conviction. Mohan Singh Oberoi applied for a job in Hotel Cecil, Shimla. Cecil was being run by D. W. Grobes. M. S. Oberoi directly met MrGrobes.He said that he could take dictation. But that position was not vacant. Then suddenly he said, “I can do anything for value addition to your hotel.” His conviction was strong. Mr Grobes appointed him as an office assistant. Here is the strong conviction now.
Immediately he applied for accommodation. Mr Grobes got irritated for a while but then noticed the courage of this young man. He had the power to ask for whatever he needed. Rest is history for the hotel industry.

5. Be Focused to be Successful

Check your position. Where are you? Now see your surroundings and feel what you have achieved. If you are satisfied, then OK; if not, then find the next level of your life. The initial period of Eastman Kodak was downhill. He was not able to survive. He learnt how to handle accounts by dint of hard work. He got a job in a bank.

Generally, here the people become accomplished, but in the case of Eastman Kodak, that was not the situation. I have already said that you get what you see.
You attract what you want to attract, your vision decides your destiny.

Once I was flying from Delhi to Mumbai.


The person next to me was the P. A. to late


Dhirubhai  Ambani.  I  was  just  thrilled  by


listening  to  the  vision  of  Dhirubhai  from


him  when  Indian  Express  tried  to  snub


him. Because of that, he became even more



powerful. When he was paralysed, he became more powerful mentally. Just watch his reframing power. It is not the event, but your vision of the event that makes the difference. Whether it was created by God or by a human being he challenged both. I always see him as the master of problem management and the same concept is known as disaster management in the corporate world.

First decide your goals and what you want to achieve. Once you have decided your destination, decide what are the different ways to create your SWOT (strength, weakness, opportunity and threat) analysis. In SWOT, strength and weakness are internal. You have a direct control on these factors. But opportunities and threats are external. While going to the next level, do what you want to do, even if nobody helps you. Think and see that you are alone and what and how best you can do as an individual.

i)    Write down what you want.

………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………………………….

ii)    What resources you have?

………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………………………….

iii)    Focus how can you go to the next level of life.

………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………………………….

iv)      When are you going to execute that idea into action?

………………………………………………………………….

………………………………………………………………….

v)    What is the date and time?

………………………………………………………………….


………………………………………………………………….

Again, let me tell you that success is a continuous journey. The road to success is always under construction
