You’ve probably heard of the “40 Days of Purpose”, David Allen’s “Get Things Done” book and other productivity and self development programs. You probably have the books, read them, dog-eared them, dutifully underlined them. You might have even taken notes about relevant ideas that you can apply to your business or life.

But you did nothing with it.

And then wonder why you know so much and have so little to show for it….

It’s not getting more information that will solve your paralysis. In fact, that may just be part of the problem.

You’re a smart cookie. You know what the heck to do to move your business forward. But we’ve gotten so busy with so many priorities pulling at us – the kids, the spouse, the bills, the business, the treadmill silently nagging you to get on it… It’s no wonder you feel stuck.

What if you set aside 40 days to just “hanker down” and practice “doing the right things in the right way”?

“Fanatical” is defined as “marked by excessive enthusiasm and often intense uncritical devotion”.

Focus is defined as “the area that may be seen distinctly or resolved into a clear image“… Even better “a state or condition permitting clear perception or understanding”, “direction”, “a center of activity, attraction, or attention”, “a point of concentration”… Are you starting to get this?

***  Let me tell you why this is important to me, and why it matters to you

Ever since I was declared cancer-free many years ago, I’ve done a 40-day fast (drinking water only) annually. Last year I decided to do a mental/emotional fast as well, and the results for my business were PHENOMENAL. So I decided to invite you along for the journey this time around too!

We are starting our 40 Days of Fanatical Focus on April 1st, 2009. We will declare a BIG HAIRY GOAL for each of the five critical business areas I’ll be teaching you, and then we’re going to get busy taking action on that goal for the next 40 days.

* Master Your Self

* Meaningful Service (What do you offer and who do you offer it to?)

* Manage Your Systems (Is your marketing going full throttle?)

* Measure Your Stepping Stones (You can’t improve what you don’t measure. Do you know what metrics to pay attention to?)

* Manifest Your Success (It doesn’t happen alone!)

Are you ready?

Let’s go!
