_____ is what made Gates & Buffet so successful

Legend has it that once upon a time (in a land far, far away)... Warren Buffett and Bill Gates were asked a question: "What's the secret to your success?" They went into separate rooms, wrote down the first thought that popped into their heads, and somehow came back with the exact same answer… "Strikingly good looks." Ok, obviously I'm kidding. Here's what actually happened: They both wound up with the exact same, one-word answer: FOCUS It turns out, even modern day titans of industry like Gates and Buffett get bogged down with "information overload." So they each developed strategies for sifting through mountains of data and getting super clear on the critical info that would help them make better decisions. It's even more of a challenge now. (Thanks a lot, Internet.) There's so much data coming at you every second of every day… how do you cut through the noise and get to the stuff that will actually help you? I've got a filter for you to apply to your thinking… I'm talking about Trends. It's our newest publication. And it's a lot like all the good insights you're already getting with the Hustle. So… what's the difference?
