Hi, I'm Jack Canfield from the Inner circle club@jackcampfield.com I just finished interviewing Les Hewitt, who's here with me. We talked about the Power of Focus, a book that he co authored, and many of the principles that are from that book and from the other work you're doing in your coaching program that really help us be more effective in being able to achieve our goals more effectively and quickly and have a balanced life. You talked in that interview about the challenges that are facing business people today. Could you talk about that for a minute?
Sure. Some of the challenges we're finding. We did a survey with 5,000 business leaders recently, and number one for sure is time pressure. You know, how do we get everything done? And very limited time to do it in. Financial pressure, of course, is another one that's big. And especially when the economy goes sideways unexpectedly and people are scrambling with cash flow. And how do I make things work and I have to lay people off? Possibly. And will I even be able to keep my business going? And then on top of all that, of course, we've got the whole situation about how do I keep a healthy, integrated lifestyle, meaning how do I make sure that my work doesn't completely consume me and if I have a family, that there's real time and quality time for them?
Now, Les has coached thousands of business owners and entrepreneurs and solo entrepreneurs and top managers and so forth to be more successful using his techniques and strategies through the Power of Focus. And in this interview we did, we unpacked a lot of that, including the four fundamentals that you need to focus on in order to be successful in life. And if you'd like to know more about what those are and hear the rest of this interview, just come to the Inner circle club@jackcampfield.com and listen to the rest of the interview. It's really fascinating, dynamic, and very practical. So, again, this is Jack Canfield from the Inner circle club@jackcampfield.com look forward to seeing you there.
