FOCUS

The 2-part principle: what you think about and how you think.

01

Choose what receives your attention.

Your focus shapes the thoughts that influence your choices.

02

Improve the way you process it.

Better questions can help you reach a better decision.

Action and strategy matter, but your thinking shapes what you do with them.

STORY

Marc reached a point where logic alone was not helping.

The usual business answers were not helping because the challenge was not only about tactics.

His head kept searching for an answer.

Logic alone could not resolve what he was feeling.

Something deeper needed his attention.

He needed to listen beyond the next business move.

Sometimes you are not short of strategy. You are disconnected from what you know.

CHOICES

Marc saw three choices in front of him.

01

He could avoid the feelings and tolerate the situation.

02

He could quit everything and walk away.

03

He could ask someone for help.

Asking for help created a new path when the first two choices did not.

MODEL

Your Head, Heart, and Gut each contribute something useful.

Head

The Head represents thinking and logic.

Heart

The Heart represents the emotions you feel.

Gut

The Gut integrates the Head and Heart to recognise the best available decision.

The answer became clearer when Marc stopped asking his Head to decide alone.

MENTOR

A mentor introduced a practice that Marc kept using.

MAR 2024

He found a business mentor who specialised in alignment.

Marc received one-to-one support and learned this exercise during that work.

Of everything he learned, this is one practice he continued to use.

A useful practice earns its place by helping you return to it in real decisions.

CONTEXT

Use this practice as personal support, not a promise of certainty.

1

Marc is sharing a personal practice, and he is not presenting himself as an expert.

2

The practice does not mean that every decision you make will be correct.

3

The practice does not mean that you will have zero stress for the rest of your life.

The aim is to access the best decision available to you at that point in time.

ROUTINE

The 6-step routine: one question, ten quiet minutes.

Set a 10-minute alarm.

Close your eyes.

Take deep breaths.

Ask one clear question.

Allow thoughts to come through.

Wait until the timer ends before writing.

Stay with the practice for the full 10 minutes, then write down what came through.

STEP

Set a 10-minute alarm.

10 minutes

Set an alarm on your phone, computer, or tablet so you do not need to watch the clock.

STEP

Close your eyes and take deep breaths to ground yourself.

Keep breathing deeply.

The first job is to create enough quiet for the question to be heard.

QUESTION

Ask one question, then allow the thoughts to come through.

“What is my intuition telling me?”

You do not need to force an answer or judge what appears.

PURPOSE

You may already know more than the noise lets you hear.

Mental noise fills the space.

Competing thoughts can make the best answer harder to hear.

One clear question creates focus.

Quiet, breathing, and time allow useful input to come through more naturally.

Marc believes you often know the best answer for yourself, but noise gets in the way.

SETUP

Set up the environment and ask a more specific follow-up.

Protect a quiet environment.

Choose somewhere you can be alone when possible.

The opening question stays the same, but a useful follow-up can make the decision more specific.

UNCLEAR

A useful response does not always mean immediate action.

You may need to wait.

Give the situation time and decide when you will review it again.

You may need more information.

Identify the missing fact that would help you decide.

You may need to ask for help.

Choose the person who can help you see what you cannot yet see.

A useful answer can be to wait, collect information, or ask someone for help.

TRUST

Wait until the timer ends before writing.

Keep your eyes closed.

Stay with the practice for the full 10 minutes.

Write after the alarm.

Capture the thoughts only when the timer finishes.

Build trust through use.

Marc says the exercise becomes more effective as you trust yourself.

Self-trust means trusting that you can access the best decision available to you at that moment.

EXPERIENCE

Marc credits the practice with supporting several decisions he considers great.

16 calls in less than one month

This result came from Marc’s beta offer campaign.

Marc also says the practice influenced personal-life decisions that he did not expect to make.

These are Marc’s experiences, and they are not guaranteed outcomes.

The value of the practice is the decision it helps you make, not a promise of the same result.

OUTPUT

Leave with one routine, one decision note, and one real next action.

Your personal routine is ready.

Choose the place, time, decision, and opening question.

Your short decision note is clear.

Record what came through, what remains unclear, and what comes next.

Your next action is observable.

Act, wait until a defined review point, gather one fact, or ask one person for help.

Intuition can provide useful input for a decision. It is not permission to avoid an uncomfortable action.

The practice becomes useful when you turn the clearest available input into one real next action.

RECAP

Set the timer, listen fully, and write afterwards.

Set a 10-minute alarm on the device you prefer.

Close your eyes and take deep breaths to ground yourself.

Ask what your intuition is telling you right now.

Allow thoughts to come through without writing during the timer.

Write down what came through after the ten minutes finish.

Recap the complete practice before moving on.

REMEMBER

The 5 things to remember from this lesson.

1

Improve both what you think about and how you think about it.

2

Let your Head, Heart, and Gut contribute to the decision.

3

Protect ten quiet minutes without writing during the timer.

4

Accept that the answer may be to wait, learn more, or ask for help.

5

Write a short decision note and choose one observable next action.
