The Five People Showing Up In Your Business
By: Sandi Krakowski
In a day when ezines, free training, coaching programs, self-help courses and more run rampant on the internet what is one to do who is really serious about building their business?
During the last 14 years of building businesses I’ve discovered a secret that I wish I knew years ago. The top 5 people I listen to the most are showing up in my life. When you look at your inbox today, for email, who is influencing you?
Face it, no one can read 20 ezines and newsletters and it’s not an exaggeration that in the information age that we live in far too many people are subscribed to three times that amount.
A recipe for confusion, discouragement and procrastination is when you have so much information coming at you that it’s nearly impossible to digest it all. You’re be left to periodic deletes, promises to get to it later and all the other things we do …. Other than the thing we should do.
I challenge you to make a decision during the next 90 days to put some boundaries around your mind, your business and your life. During this 90 day period apply some of the following:
1. Only subscribe to ezines that you know have a proven trackrecord and have already helped you to succeed. Be careful, because you could have overlooked the most valuable one of all in an attempt to ‘read them all.’ Pick the top five and unsubscribe from everything else for 90 days.
2. Pay careful attention to how relevant in today’s business world the mentors you are following are. Are they marketing and selling the same ole methods that few ever succeed with? Direct sales is full of people selling concepts that were outgrown in the 90’s. Be careful.
3. Time is of the essence, so when you pick your top 5, decide to focus on only those and make a commitment to read everything they send to you.
4. Take notes, highlight, write down key points and journal if you have to but do everything you can to absorb content from these five places during the next 90 days.
90 days is the perfect time frame for something like this. Change a habit, break some bad ones, get yourself focused.
What you’ll soon discover is that you learn more, grow more quickly in the things you were struggling with, retain and digest more which equals a life full of action.
Let’s all work on our focus. Focus will pay you a fortune.

OMG ! Sandi! I feel so Blessed that you are in my life, words cannot even begin to express how grateful I am for your wisdom. Thank you very much for sharing this information.
I have been on confused dot com for the last couple of days with so much emails and newsletters being bomberded to my mail box every single minute and I get so overwelmed and end up spending at least an hour deleting them, I mean! literally just deleting!
Now with this info you have just sent to me I am going to pick my top 5 and just run with it.
Thank You,
Karry Rozelaar.
