Top Six Tips for Focusing on Your Ambit Business

Today, I’d like to talk about how to focus. I’ve said it before – focusing on getting good at one thing or focusing on doing one thing well at a time will get you further in your Ambit business than anything else.

You can be told to focus, but do you really know how? That’s what today’s post is all about – helping you learn the art of focus for Ambit success. Here are my top six tips on how to focus on your Ambit business: 

1. Focus on one prospect at a time. Give each prospect his/her own index card or sheet in your notebook. That way your mind won’t drift to the next phone call on your list.
2. Put your prospects ahead of Jumpstart bonuses and customer count requirements. When you do this, you’re truly focusing on the prospect. Focusing on the bigger picture helps you in the long run – better customers and a better downline. 
3. Focus on helping one team member with one obstacle at a time. Think about it like working on a complex math equation. If you try to solve the problem all at once, the answer comes out wrong. Same goes for a prospect. If you try to solve all their obstacles at once, you’ll get frustrated. They’ll get frustrated and you’ll get nowhere fast.
4. Focus on one task at a time. You can’t eat with two forks. You can’t really focus on a training program if you’re looking ahead in the transcript while listening to the audio. Devote your attention to one step at a time. You’ll remember more and accomplish more.
5. Break down each goal into multiple steps and strive to achieve individual steps instead of all of them at once. You can document your progress when you take each goal a step at a time. When you’re breaking down goals, be sure to break them into actionable items you can track.
6. Focus on one step of the Inviting Formula at a time. In a past training post, I discussed why you shouldn’t skip steps in the Inviting Formula. The logic here is that you may miss information that will help you decide how to proceed with the prospect. 

The logic of focusing on one step at a time helps you make better decisions in your business. Skipping ahead rarely works.
