This is about <strong>Focus<\/strong> when you set up a business. An online business for example.

In this context, focus means <strong>ATTENTION<\/strong> and also <strong>CONCENTRATION<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Focus<\/strong>\u00a0is very\u00a0<strong>important<\/strong> because it is the gateway to all thinking: Without good <strong>focus<\/strong>, all aspects of your ability to think will <strong>Suffer<\/strong>.

But talent alone is not enough. He has the exceptional ability to focus completely on one thing and that is the game of tennis. His inner game(his mind) is completely focused on mastering the game of tennis to perfection. That has to do with focus, focus, and more focus.

Perhaps he has a little less technical talent than Federer. Yet he is considered by some analysts to be the greatest tennis player of all time. How do you achieve this? He does the same as Roger Federer but in a way that best suits him as a person. In other words, focus, focus, and more focus.
