Where's your Zen?

Something I have noticed is hard for a lot of entrepreneurs is also something that seems critical to success: focus. By nature, most entrepreneurs have busy minds, thinking clever and profitable thoughts at a million miles an hour down a hundred diverging highways. It can be hard for them to drill down on any one of those thoughts long enough to make it happen, or with a sufficient degree of attention to execute on it well.

Enter Zen. In today's ultra-connected, over-communicative environment, it's even easier to get distracted whether you were thinking important thoughts or not. But not to worry; other intrepid entrepreneurs have been porting the ancient Eastern philosophies over to modern business (and making a few bucks on it in the process!) for you to help get your focus back in order. Zen Habits and similar sites are there to help you tone down the demands your mind has involved you with and to narrow down what's really important in your life.
