The Art Of Focus

 

The Little Black Dress, The Top Ten French Wardrobe Essentials, Vicki Archer

The art of focus.

How do we stay focused, how do we find focus?

How much focus do we need to achieve our dreams? Even the everyday requires a solid focus.


By now many of you have received and read my little e-book.

The Top Ten French Wardrobe Essentials  was made with passion, with humour and with great focus.

I knew that I wanted to create a small guide that could be fun to read and that would include essential information. Our wardrobes can work anywhere and everywhere if we have these ten items on standby. I know that we know, but a reminder is a way to re-invent our combinations and re-enegise our fashion choices.


I could not have made this e-book without the help of two young people who are extreemly focused. Leo Greenfield, a fellow Australian and very talented illustrator and Chloe Watts, a digital and technology guru. Working with Chloe and Leo was such a pleasure from the moment we started the discussions until the moment I pressed “send”.

The “dream team”.


I may have had the vision to create this e-book but these two had the focus to make it happen.

Working with those who have the same level of focus is a joy and a privilege and I cannot thank them enough.

Leo understood immediately ” our women” and Chloe, in her indomitable way, made it happen.

These two are going places and nothing gives me greater satisfaction than to watch them both taking risks and striving high.


Focus is not only a gift but also a quality that we can build upon.

Focus requires discipline and determination. We can do that.

Like exercise, the more we focus the more we can focus.

Strong focus, like self-confidence, makes me feel positive and happy. There is nothing better than the feeling that comes from a job well done and knowing that sheer perseverance made it happen.


Staying focused is the key and probably the hardest part. The rewards from hard work, the pleasure it gives and the realisation of an idea when it comes full circle does it for me.


How do you stay focused ? Any tricks we should know?
