Tony Robinson

A

Q

Tony Robinson

A

Focus equals power. If anyone is successful at anything, and not just once in a while but
on a consistent basis, they are not lucky, they are focused. They are crystal clear about
what they want. The clearer you are about what it is you want, the easier it is to achieve
it, because your brain can figure out how to get there. The fuel behind getting there is
having a compelling purpose and a reason that will move you. Your fuel is what will
drive you while you navigate your life’s map, and your massive action plan on how to get
from where you are to where you want to be.
