“LET the SMALL Things PASS BY!” – Gaur Gopal Das (@gaurgopald) – #Entspresso


when you want to focus on what is
important we should allow the small
things to pass by but if you can
actually take the time to focus on the
thing that’s important to you you’re
never going to accomplish a big goal
focus that’s it focus rise and shine
it’s an spresso time good morning
believe nation it’s evan my one word is
believe and i believe in you i believe
you have an amazing gift inside you that
i want to see exploded onto the world so
grab your coffee and sip on today’s
message focus over to you go or Gopal
das when one looks at the cream standing
on one leg completely focused into the
waters the crane with one pointed
attention is looking at the waters as
the fishes are swimming inside the water
the crane will allow the tiny the small
fish to swim around and not be satisfied
with them it will allow the fish it’s
the small fishes to go around and swim
around the crane will focus and wait for
the big fish to come if the crane
settles with the small fish it loses the
big fish and as the crane wants the big
fish it has to allow the small fish to
pass by and go around
similarly in life when you want to focus
on what is important we should allow the
small things to pass why we shouldn’t be
distracted by the little things
sometimes they’ll be interpersonal
issues and conflicts sometimes there’ll
be some health crises sometimes there
might be a financial crisis so many
things keep happening in life let the
small things
boss bye and focus on what’s important
if you can’t learn to focus you will
never reach your goals this is one of
the hardest things that entrepreneurs
have because we love coming up with new
ideas we’d love being distracted we love
new shiny objects we’re coming up with
an idea a minute but if you can actually
take the time to focus on the thing
that’s important to you you’re never
going to accomplish a big goal and so
often what people get locked into is
going out to the small fish is doing the
small wins because it gives you that
instant hit and so you end up getting
little tiny deals for your business you
end up getting five more likes on your
Instagram account all these little tiny
wins that come through and you never
dedicate the time to go after that big
fish you never have enough time to focus
on those big projects that you really
really really want to do because you’re
constantly getting distracted by other
people and your own little ideas so if I
look back on my own terminal career one
of the things that I really used to
pride myself on was email I would always
answer email really quickly if you sent
me an email within two minutes you would
get a response and I felt that that was
good service I felt like that was the
right thing to do and then as people
responded back to say wow you’re so fast
that fed the loop right that made me
want to do it again and again and again
because I’m getting recognition for it
the problem was I wasn’t getting any
major work done as soon as an email came
in I would stop to read that email and
I’d get sidetracked when I was working
on and so if you ever have some big
project that you’re trying to do if
you’re trying to write a book or trying
to make a big sale or trying to make an
amazing video you have this big dream
that you’re chasing after every time you
get distracted every time you focus on
one tiny little project it prevents you
from making progress on the big thing
and what ends up happening is people
never spend time on that big thing what
I strongly encourage you to do is block
out time in your calendar whenever you
have this big project to working on for
me my book as an example I blocked out
every single Tuesday from my book you
could not reach me there was no way to
get a hold of me I wasn’t checking my
email there’s a reason why I don’t I
have a phone but there’s no phone number
there is no phone number people get
offended when they try to ask my phone
number I say I can’t give you one
because I don’t have one but they see
that I have a phone I don’t actually
have a number because as other people’s
agenda for my time
even if you don’t answer the phone you
get distracted you look who is this
person you wonder what does this person
want where did I meet that person what
is this all about and it distracts you
from doing the work that you’re supposed
to be doing and some when I was writing
my book the entire Tuesday was blocked
off to write the book and that allowed
me to make massive progress on this
really important project now there is a
downside you have to be willing to
accept a collateral damage that happens
and let go of little fish let go of
little projects as an example when I’m
working and focused and I’m not
answering email I’ll get opportunities
from the media some journalists will
write to me and say heaven I’m working
on a tight deadline I need an answer on
this topic can you get it to me by three
o’clock and I don’t see it until the
evening or I don’t see it till the next
day and so I lose out on that potential
media opportunity but it’s worth it
because I’m focusing my time on the big
projects and I think that’s what brings
a lot of people down I think that’s what
keeps a lot of people doing the tiny
little projects because there is some
wins to it it makes you feel good you’re
making some kind of little momentum and
progress but if you’re only focused on
the small fish you will never be able to
do the big projects that you have in
your mind that you were capable of that
you’re able to create for this world and
so I encourage you strongly at least one
day a week or at least 90 minutes every
morning carve it out for what I call CEO
time focus time to be able to have you
think about the biggest most important
priorities for your company the big
projects that you want to work on shut
out all distractions teach the people
around you not to interrupt you set up
walls to allow you to be able to focus
because that’s where the gold is going
to lie so I’ve got some special bonus
clips but before that my question of the
day for you is what are the little fish
that are distracting you from
accomplishing your big goals leave it
down in the comments below I’m curious
to see response thank you guys so much
for watching I believe in you I hope you
continue to believe in yourself and
whatever your one where it is much love
I’ll see you soon enjoy the bonus clips
and I’ll see you again tomorrow morning
for another shot of espresso
let’s pray so keep me
Warren Buffett and Bill Gates
simultaneously said one word focus
that’s it
focus many years that I was 100% focused
and I created a lot of a lot of wealth
for myself I only thought about one
thing and that was it and I’m not I’m
not saying that it’s easy because if it
were easy there’d be like a qlae shop on
every corner like Starbucks my market is
seven hundred thousand people out of
seven billion if you want to be me seven
hundred thousand out of seven billion I
don’t know what fraction that is but
it’s not a very big one that’s it
there’s seven hundred thousand people on
the planet that can commit to the focus
the laser beam focus of the gates
Trump’s Ellison’s
etc if you if you want to if you want to
create generational wealth generational
wealth is wealth that you make in twenty
to twenty five years because depending
on who where you google it a generation
age of twenty or twenty-five years we do
that and I’ve taught and I did it myself
how to do it in four to seven years
and the in virtually throwing everything
that you’ve learned or read out the
window but it’s focused and not that
many people can stay focused
in fact that’s an understatement that
gross understand
hardly anybody can stay focus see most
people think success is a straight line
I’m gonna get out of high school I’m
gonna get a job and everything’s gonna
be fine that’s not how it plays out
folks okay this how it plays out guy
decides he wants something and the line
gets all squiggly see right now God
decides over the summer hey man I’m
gonna get I’m gonna get this job this
summer and I’m gonna make some money
this summer and then he gets distracted
by the first squiggly I don’t know what
he’s doing he’s squiggling off because
he’s not focused on his success he
squiggles you ever used this term
squiggle yeah man I’m doing a squiggle
you know I’m gonna go out and hang out
with the guys
we can it’s a squiggle it’s off path off
purpose off potential and so he ends up
in a bunch of loops over here most
people get stuck in loops I did it when
I got out of high school I was in a lot
of trouble didn’t have any focus wasn’t
fulfilling my potential was distracted
didn’t have a coach didn’t have an older
brother didn’t have a father lost what
am i doing okay don’t know where I’m
going I know I got this potential is
sitting there inside of me it’s a little
candle burning I know it’s there I
hadn’t quite put it out when I was 20
years old but it was it was low any have
you ever been there what am i doing
every day man why am I getting up every
day why am I going to school I didn’t
even know why I was going to school I
was just going to school I was just
doing school I didn’t even want to go to
school
see I’m squiggling around okay if you
persist and stay focused and surround
yourself with other people that persist
and stay focused
who knows maybe you’ll come out the
other end there are times where I only
have an hour and a half to record a song
or just to finish writing a song I don’t
like to waste time I don’t like to take
forever on an album for heart attack
Danny took a look at the lyric and she’s
really trying to focus in right from the
beginning and say there’s a guy and this
is how I feel about him and by the time
you get to that first chorus you know
exactly how I feel
so she really focused in those ideas
made the song really pop prioritizing
things in your life when I was doing
x-factor at the same time I knew that
x-factor at that point it became a
priority I feel like I work thus when I
focus on one thing at a time raise your
standard Apple at the core its core
values is that we believe that people
with passion and
not one drop of myself work depends on
your acceptance of me I don’t ever give
up I’d have to be dead or completely
incapacitated hey believe nation if you
want to see my all-time favorite top ten
roses success I have a very special
secret video for you these are the
individual clips that I have personally
learned the most from and applied to my
life and my business check the link in
