Focused As A Bee: Six Buzzworthy Strategies To Thrive In A Distracting World

What could you accomplish if you improved your ability to focus?

Imagine what your life would be like if:

You had the satisfaction of completing your goals

You had perfect clarity on your priorities and your daily decisions were aligned with them

You had a system to manage the countless distractions coming at you each day

Focused as a Bee tells the story of Sydney, an ambitious young woman who is feeling overwhelmed with work and life.

Constant distractions, a lack of clear priorities, and the failure to make progress on her goals are wreaking havoc on her self-confidence and work satisfaction. The future she envisions seems out of reach. She carries guilt for not improving her career success, but figuring out what needs to change remains a challenge she hasn’t yet overcome. And now she has a new distraction… A swarm of honeybees in her backyard!

Reaching out to her beekeeping best friend Alicia, Sydney hopes she will get rid of them ASAP. Instead, Alicia invites Sydney to explore how the work of the bees might offer insights on improving her current work life dilemma.

As Sydney becomes comfortable with the bees, she realizes that the secret to their incredible productivity and success lies in their ability to focus. With Alicia’s guidance, Sydney learns six permissions that enable her to:

Complete her “one jobs” and stay focused on outcomes

Reduce the temptation to shift her attention to less important activities

Make changes to stay present in any moment

Be patient with herself as she applies these new skills

Focused as a Bee is a fun and essential guide for those tired of the status quo. Aren’t you ready to experience the buzz of success more often?
