You know what gets your attention?
- Pleasing and beautiful things,
- Surprising things, and
- Things that are out of place
Those 3 things get your attention.
But, those 3 things sure have a tough time getting your attention!
You know why those 3 things have such a tough time getting your attention?
- Your FOCUS1 and
- Their COMPETITION2
ATTENTION, actually the lack of success in capturing it, has led to some rather bizarre business activity...marketing activity, social media activity, etc.
Footnote:
- I am not picking on YOU here. When I say 'you' I mean almost all of us. The fact is, people have plenty of thoughts going on in their brains, all day, every day...some experts say as many as 50,000 thoughts/day. It is tough to FOCUS with all those thoughts keeping us so occupied.
- When you look out at the world you observe lots of stuff...their COMPETITION outnumbers THEM by orders of magnitude.
