When Mayor Booker was at Stanford University, he would
post two or three things on a whiteboard in his dorm room, and that would be his focus. Nothing, he told the FOCUS 100 Symposium, would
stop him from focusing on it. It is this kind of focus and determination that helps him
run an entire city and the tech startup #WayWire at the same time Mayor Booker advises that you need to feel a core sense of purpose in whatever it is you do in order to succeed. Blocking out distracting factors
like ego, vanity, or anything else, will serve to boost your getting there quicker.
