WELCOME PILOTS
    
     Welcome to 2015! I'm excited to be back in action and looking forward to a great 2015. Some people are put off by New Year’s resolutions or goals, but I want to encourage you to think about creating aviation goals for year. If you have already have some goals, awesome! I confess I have made some for myself, but a few of these are a bit fuzzy when it comes to creating a detailed plan of action. This week's article offers a little encouragement with respect to goals through the acronym FOCUS.

ADJUST YOUR FOCUS
By TC FREEMAN


     I listen to a few different podcasts while commuting to work. One of my favorite podcasts is, “Entrepreneur On Fire,” hosted by John Lee Dumas. If you listen to enough of his shows you can pick up on some of his catch-phrases, one great one is the acronym FOCUS, which stands for;
Fixed*
On
Course
Until
Success
     This is a great acronym that I use when talking to pilots and general groups alike. My translation of FOCUS has not only a flight metaphor but a life one as well. When obstacles and problems occur we may have to fly around them but stay focused on the destination while considering alternative solutions. Remember, it's important to be resilient in flying and in life because if we keep “chipping away” the destination will soon be in sight. Most successful people rarely say that the route to success was planned and worked out exactly like they thought. However, they were ultimately were satisfied because they made it to the goal.
    If you have the dream of learning to fly, taking a cross-country trip of a lifetime, or earning another pilot certification, remember FOCUS.
*John actually uses the word Follow verses Fixed but I simply think Fixed is a better word for this purpose (no offense John!).
