It’s hard to believe it’s almost February, isn’t it? By this time we may have already broken our new year’s resolution? Or we might not even remember what our goal was!
When I hear people already worrying about falling behind in the year I think of what James Clear, author of Atomic Habits recently shared: “…goals are for people who care about winning once. Systems are for people who care about winning repeatedly.”
I have always believed systems create freedom.
I’ve been sharing systems of attention for many years here with you and our new book, Exceptional Experiences, takes that a step further with systems of elevation!
2025 is filled with possibilities, and the one thing that will define your success in 2025 is where you place your attention.
If you’ve ever felt like your days are a blur of meetings, notifications, and distractions, you’re not alone. We live in an attention-deficit society—where busyness masquerades as productivity, and distraction dilutes impact.
But here’s the truth: attention is your greatest currency. When you intentionally focus on the right priorities, you drive profitability, productivity, and personal success.
Remember: Everyone wants your attention, not everyone deserves it.
Attention is a Business Strategy
Think of the most iconic luxury brands—Louis Vuitton, Chanel, and the Four Seasons. They don’t chase every trend or react to every market shift. Instead, they focus intentionally on what makes them unique, crafting experiences so remarkable that their clients become lifelong advocates.
What if we ran our business—and our life—the same way?
- What if our attention wasn’t scattered but strategically invested?
- What if we designed client and team interactions with the precision of a luxury concierge?
- What if we eliminated distractions and gave our full presence to what truly matters?
I think about these things a lot. Your Focus = Your Impact
This is the heart of my book Attention Pays, where I share how intentional attention drives results. It is the intention that makes attention valuable. Attention isn’t just about what you notice—it’s about what you prioritize. When you invest your focus wisely, the return is exponential.
In Exceptional Experiences, I share how luxury brands elevate every interaction, making people feel seen, valued, and important. That’s the power of attention in action.
Attention is what turns clients into advocates. Attention is what makes a brand unforgettable. Attention is what fuels extraordinary leadership.
