8 Steps to Master Strategic (Macro) Focus: curing "too ambitious and spread too thin" disease of your brain.

Angela Shurina Season 2025

Strategic focus might be the most underrated superpower in our full of opportunity world.  

While most of us understand the importance of avoiding momentary distractions, few master what I call "macro focus" - the discipline of channeling your energy toward one strategic priority until meaningful progress is achieved. 

Drawing from Alex Hormozi's insights on entrepreneurial success, this episode reveals a pattern I've observed across high performers: the biggest obstacle to extraordinary results isn't lack of ambition but ambition spread too thin.  

How do you fix it? (Spoiler alert: we have an 8-step process)  

When we try to pursue multiple offers, customer types, marketing channels, or goals simultaneously, we end up with mediocre outcomes across the board.  

The alternative? Doing less AND achieving more.  

This counterintuitive approach, concentrating your resources like a firehose rather than sprinkling them everywhere, transforms results in business, habit formation, and personal development.  

I walk you through my evidence-based, 8-step process for developing this crucial skill.  


The process draws from behavioral science, coaching methodologies, and real-world application.  

It's not just conceptual, it's a practical system you can implement immediately to develop your macro focus muscle. By the end of this episode, you'll understand why limiting your focus isn't actually limiting at all but rather the leverage point that unlocks extraordinary achievement.  

Ready to transform your approach to goals and stop leaking energy through scattered focus?  

This episode provides the blueprint. Tune in!
