The Power Of Charles’ Focus

Thanks Dan for the chat in the comments in my previous blog post.  Really appreciate it with a lot of your sharings, and I have really found some cool people to chat with.  Also would like to thank ac condensers who welcome me back in my blog p0st yesterday.

Wish to have a quick posting about the power of focus since I was talking about focus with Dan.

I have been working in a big company for 2 years now.  It has given me great exposure where I get to present the new media marketing ideas to my colleagues around the world.  It is giving me the best mix of both worlds because I have focused on two simple things in my career – Internet marketing and Presenting the idea effectively to the corporate world.

Back in 2007 when I quit my directorship in a company startup with my friend, it took me about a year to understand and pick up the momentum of Internet marketing.  Back then, there are basically two schools of taught in the Internet marketing world.  One is the business person who believes a lot in spending money on pay-per-click advertisements and learning how to convert the traffic effectively.  The other believes a lot in the free traffic where we can build upon the websites with natural search.  And as we move into 2008/2009, social media came into picture naturally and everybody starts to speculate if the social media market is worthwhile to look at.  And finally, Facebook and Twitter have confirmed a lot of people that social media is fast becoming the right tools to work with if you want to continue to be in this new media.

While I continue to learn about the new media, I started to take up a corporate job as an executive in 2008.  It gave me tremendous opportunities to present my ideas slowly as I wanted to bring the best to the company.  It’s not easy as a start because I was still learning how to communicate effectively in the corporate world… After spending 2 years in the company, I started to get the momentum of presenting the new media more and more effectively to the bosses.

And now, I am always striving to work and learn how to be better than yesterday.  Right from the start where the main websites are built from scratch, to the direction where the new media is… It is something where no amount of words can ever describe the kind of experience I had been through, except for my own vendors who worked very closely with me.

Things are definitely moving up… We are looking positively towards the direction where I can really envision how it will become in the near future… And while my work is catching up with what I have learnt, I am also looking forward to test and improve with what I have… Working on this blog… trying out a couple of niche websites… working out communities in Google buzz and twitter… and next I will be working on Podcast and Facebook app!  Watch my blog as I see how to leverage on these few things and try a new experiment…

That’s all I have to say for now… Anything you can share with me about how you have focused yourself in your own life?
