TRP 27: How to create an extreme sliver of focus with Mark Leblanc

In this episode of The Rainmaking Podcast, host Scott Love speaks with Mark LeBlanc, business coach and author of Growing Your Business, about how professionals can achieve greater success by adopting an “extreme sliver of focus.” Mark shares how narrowing your priorities, setting clear monthly benchmarks, and taking deliberate daily actions can lead to consistent growth. He introduces the concept of throwing away traditional annual goals in favor of a more agile and intentional approach, emphasizing the importance of tracking progress every 30 days. Mark encourages listeners to ask themselves two simple but powerful questions every day: “What am I doing today to book my optimistic sales target?” and “What did I do today to move closer to that goal?” By focusing on activities within their control—such as client outreach, networking, and relationship-building—professionals can create sustainable momentum. His insights provide a practical framework for those seeking to break free from distraction, stay accountable, and maximize their business development efforts. https://therainmakingpodcast.com/ --------------------------------------- Mark LeBlanc, CSP runs a speaking business in Minneapolis. He conducts presentations and creates experiences for professionals who want to create an extreme sliver of focus and put more money in their pocket as a business owner. As a business coach, he has clocked over twenty thousand (one to one) coaching hours with professionals who want to grow their business or practice. In fact, he wrote the book, Growing Your Business! As a result of his work, people often share they are more focused each day, attract more prospects, stimulate more referrals and create a path for generating more business. On a personal note, next Summer, he will go on a short, five-hundred-mile walk across Spain – for the fourth time! https://www.markleblanc.com/ If you like what you have heard from Mark on this interview, I would encourage you to go to his web site and watch a 45-minute, luncheon speech Mark gave on how to have your best year ever!   Check out Mark's electronic version of his book, Growing Your Business! www.growingyourbusiness.com Learn more about your ad choices.
