40 Days of Fanatical Focus

Written by Monikah Ogando on March 23, 2009

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?

Click here to join free! It’s my gift to you. My annual 40-day practice has been such an amazing gift to me, that it’s only fair I pay it forward.

Let’s go!

The Power of Social Media Networking

Written by Monikah Ogando on July 29, 2008

Thank you to everyone who has emailed, called, twittered, blogged, facebooked, myspaced, and everything else you’ve done to connect with me about the health of my daughter, Sarah. I am very moved and touched that people all over the globe, most of whom have never met me personally, would take time out of their life to reach out to another human being. I think it speaks to not only how bright you shine, but also the goodness and connectedness of the human spirit.

As an update: Sarah is taking well to the antibiotics. She can hold down food now and is sleeping through the night. We have some more tests to take as the days wear on, but I have faith that she is going to come out of this even more of a resilient, strong, happy little girl than she is already.

Now…

To those of you who have already purchased The JumpStart Your Business in 30 Days or Less Program, congratulations!!! You are IN for a treat. Please do not feel overwhelmed by all the material you are getting. I promise I have dissected it and broken it down into sizeable, manageable pieces so that you can really take advantage of it to grow your business.

Also remember that we will soon be scheduling a Q & A call with me so you can get coaching on putting the system together specifically for your business and lifestyle. So stay tuned for that announcement.

Oh, and I have 8 more unadvertised bonuses coming your way. Surprise! :)

Many have wanted to contribute in some way to “Team Sarah” (thanks Michael Ballard of Resiliency for Life for the team name!), even though you may not be in a position right now to purchase JumpStart. Thanks to our friend, Reggie Baker of In This Together (what a name, huh!) now you can do that. Scroll down to the bottom of the JumpStart page and you will see a donation button there.

I want to publicly thank my friends Jim Turner, Ron Hudson, Alejandro Reyes, Deontee Gordon, and Dr. Ray Blanchard. Literally within a few hours of having shared with them what is going on with my family, they jumped at the chance to make a difference, to talk to their people, offer bonuses, announce the fire sale to their networks and checking in with me just to see how Sarah is doing. It is very easy to hide behind anonymity online, but these folks are living proof of the power of social media. You guys are amazing professionals and incredible human beings. Thank you for the difference you’ve made in my life.

Stay tuned for the victory lap! :)

Love and success,

Monikah
