As business owners, we are constantly faced with the internal and external conflict of achieving "work-life balance". At times we can feel guilty for working too much and at other times for not working enough. We hear the saying to "work smarter, not harder", but how do we know if we're working hard enough? On the contrary, there are people working extremely hard with very little reward for their efforts who may need some time for reflection and planning to gain perspective of the bigger picture.

Finding focus in a world full of distraction can be an extremely hard thing to obtain. Sometimes we need to think outside the box by inverting the equation and adjusting our lens to which we view things. The first step toward finding focus is to ask yourself "what is the opposite of focus?" -Distraction. We can then identify our main distractions and eliminate them one by one, taking back control of what our mind focuses on.
