The ESADE Alumni Lleida Club is pleased to invite you to their forthcoming talk, ''Be focussed to win. The fastest way to success in business and life'', by Joan Mir, managing director of AC Marca.

''Jack of all trades and master of none''.''Every man to his own trade''. These are just two of the many sayings about the need to remain focussed.

Being focussed is a springboard for excellent performance in both business and one’s private life.

Being focussed is an attitude. A way of doing business. A way of dealing with business and one’s private life. There are two things I’ve learnt from more than 30 years’ business experience:

- To succeed in business, it’s essential to focus on different business areas (sector, category, brand benefit, range, customers, consumers, message for the market, etc.)

- To be an entrepreneur or manager with a business focus, it’s essential to have an attitude to your private life based on the ability to prioritize and focus on what’s really important in your everyday activities and relationships with other people and the world. A distracted person who dabbles in a variety of activities is unlikely to have a focussed approach to business.

The business approach and the personal approach are two different outlooks that emphasise the importance of focussing and are completely interwoven. A person unable to remain focussed in their private life cannot be focussed in business.
