Jim Rohn said, "You're the average of the five people you spend the most time with." The amount of information we can get from people is astounding, and most of it is pretty useless. If you want to accelerate your learning, you need to surround yourself with the right people. The people who will help you accelerate the ladder of success and not failure. It might seem pretty intense but not impossible. And all you have to do is to get started!Geoff Woods was a former medical sales representative. In 2015, he started The Mentee Podcast because he wants to start a business that will deliver a massive impact on society. Later, he joined Gary and Jay in building the company around The One Thing. Now, he joins the podcast to talk about The One Thing. Specifically, how The One Thing can be the simple truth behind extraordinary results.Take the First StepIt's mind-blowing to see someone be able to pull off something amazing and seemingly effortless. But it can be hard to imagine it for yourself because we're so used to "Well, he is a movie star" or "He is a famous actor." But just because you don't see the clear path on how to go from where you are to where you want to be, doesn't mean that you can't take the first step. Enjoy the ClimbYou need to learn to focus less on the destination and more on the journey. You hate it when you're in the middle of it but miss it when it's gone. So, enjoy the climb because that is where the value is. Stop focusing on the destination that you want and start celebrating the journey.Time Over MoneyWhich is more valuable, time or money? Time for sure! We're in the business of time and it's our most valuable resource. But most people spend time and do not invest it. We don't hold our time to the same standard we hold our dollars. But anything that we want in our life happens over time. You look at somebody who's built wealth, they built it over time. You look at somebody who's in shape they got there over time, you look at great marriages and relationships, they were developed over time. The key is over time. The Domino EffectThe path to getting everything you want in life personally and professionally starts by getting one thing at a time. Back in 2009, there was a group out of the Netherlands Wieder Domino productions, they broke the world record for Domino falls, they lined up 4.5 million dominoes. But the most amazing part was that when the leader of that group knocked the first one down, how much effort did that take? It's almost effortless. If you were that leader, you would have just unleashed 94,000 joules of energy. Put that into context, if you were to do 545 consecutive push-ups, that's how much energy you would release. So, think about it, the flick of a finger, that one subtle action could create a massive reaction. Small actions can unleash massive reactions. And if you graph this out, it's that hockey stick growth where it feels like you're moving forward not making much progress and suddenly, boom, it's just exponential. This is the shape of success. The Seven CirclesThe seven circles are the seven most important areas of your life. And you only need one area to focus on. However, this is hard for people because they feel like they want to focus on all of them. But again, the path to getting everything you want starts by getting one thing at a time. Think big, go small, trust the dominoes will fall, start by picking one circle. It could be a circle that...

We talk a lot about setting big goals… but we don't often get to explore what happens when you achieve them.After achieving your goals, you have to take the time to reflect on where you've been and set your compass to a new destination. As you grow personally and professionally, your goals are going to change. And when you reach those goals, you may be surprised to see a new path calling you.In going through this process, Geoff Woods, host of The ONE Thing podcast for over five years, has decided to step away from the show to focus on what matters most to him. We sit down with him to discuss his path to success, how he implemented the principles of The ONE Thing in his life, and how he was able to identify his ONE Thing.While things might be changing here at The ONE Thing, we are as committed as ever to helping you on your path to mastery.

In today's episode, we cover prioritization with Geoff Woods. Geoff is the Vice President of The ONE Thing and the host of The ONE Thing podcast which is in the top 5% of all podcasts in the world. Many of us get distracted by everything we think we have to do and all the directions other people pull us in, but if we let all of those things consume our time, we'll never get to where we want to be, so how do you figure out what you need to do and accomplish your dreams? What to Listen For What is the one thing behind extraordinary results and how can you find out what your ONE thing is? What framework can you use to figure out what to focus your time and energy on? How do you narrow down a to-do list to figure out what the most important items are? What can you do to stay disciplined and focused on the important tasks in your personal and professional lives? How do you build more discipline? How do you improve different areas of your life if you're only focusing on one thing at a time? How do you set goals that pull you toward them? What can you do to strengthen your willpower and use it in a meaningful way? What is the value in finding a coach to help you achieve your goals and dreams? Multitasking has been scientifically proven to be less effective than focusing on one task at a time. However, focusing on the wrong tasks one at a time will also be ineffective. First, we must come up with a clear vision of what we want, and then drill down to the smallest tasks we can accomplish on a daily and weekly basis. This way we are able to track our progress toward the long term goal while also prioritizing the important tasks over less important tasks that might get thrown our way everyday.

Building any kind of empire is hard work, but it also has to be smart work. This episode is a recorded conversation between Ryan and one of his mentors, Geoff Woods. As Ryan has been building his own empire he has come to a place where various kinds of frustration have set in. He knows he needs to be doing something different but isn't sure what it is. So he asked Jeff to speak to the issues and give him insight into what he needs to do next. As you will hear in this conversation, Ryan got some of the best advice he could get. You won't want to miss this one. Seriously. We think we're being clear about our goals, but are actually only broadly stating them. One of the most important things that became clear for Ryan in this conversation with Geoff Woods was that his goals have not been specific enough. He can state them in broad terms but when it comes to drilling down into the details of what will make each of the goals a reality, Ryan was a bit fuzzy. This conversation Jeff pushes him to clearly define the needed steps toward his goals so that he can take the precise action required to bring them about. Geoff's insight is so clarifying you will get incredible value from what he shares. Can you step away from your business for 6 weeks and see the value go up? Anyone who considers themselves to be a business owner needs to ask this question, “Can I step away from my business for 6 weeks and the value of it still go up?” If you can't honestly answer that question with an emphatic “Yes!” then you can't rightly call yourself a business owner. In some way, the business still owns you. Of course, we all have to get to that point over time, but the question helps to clarify where we are in the process. Geoff Woods shares some of the additional questions Ryan needs to ask himself about the action required to move him to that point in his business endeavors on this episode. You could hear the entire conversation on this episode of Freedom Fast Lane. The owner's job is to be the recruiter and coach who equips others to fuel business growth. Every business requires the ground level work to establish a valuable product or service that can then be offered for sale. But the point comes when the owner of the business has to step out of those ground-level roles in order to scale things to a greater degree. That's when multiplication begins. It's when the business really starts to have an impact. Geoff Wood says the owner's job is to be the recruiter and coach of the business who recruits the right people for the right roles and then equips them to build out the systems that will fuel growth long-term. Don't miss Geoff's advice, given to Ryan in a one-on-one conversation. As you build your empire you need to hire empire builders. Part of building a business empire is knowing that you can't do it on your own. When your business reaches a high enough level, the people you bring alongside to help you build the empire have to be of the same mindset and empire building nature that you are. In other words, you need to hire empire builders who can do so inside your organization. You want people who have the attitude that they are going to conquer the role they've been given, regardless of the obstacles. In this conversation, Geoff Woods describes what those people look like and some of the ways you can find them, so be sure you listen.

One of the most helpful and popular episodes published on Freedom Fast Lane was a previous episode with today's guest, Geoff Woods. Geoff is the Vice President of an organization called “The ONE Thing,” the empire that is being built around the hit book by the same name, written by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Geoff is on the podcast today to share the power of The ONE Thing philosophy and how he is still practically learning to implement it in his own personal and professional life. But it's not all about “how to” - it's also about the "what for." Geoff shares his personal story and the dramatic shifts that have taken place in his life from making these fundamental changes. You won't want to miss this practical episode. What is the 1 thing you can do that makes everything else more effective? The fundamental principle behind “The ONE Thing” philosophy is this: Identify the one thing that when done, will enable you to be more productive and successful in every other area. Until that one thing is done each day you have not earned the right to move on to anything else. It's this philosophy that has made Keller Williams one of the most successful real estate companies on the planet and it's what has enabled Geoff Woods, today's guest, to change his own life for and career path for the better. On this episode, you will hear Geoff's story and receive his specific tips on how to get The ONE Thing philosophy working in your own life, so be sure you listen. What most people do when they create a to-do list and how to make it better. The typical to-do list is a column full of tasks. They are not in any priority order. They are not organized in any way. Most people address their to-do list by acting on the simplest or easiest issue first, then moving on to another fairly simple item once the first one is complete. But by the nature of those tasks, nothing truly important is being done. It's just busy work. On this episode, Geoff Woods shares why a different approach to your to-do list could transform the amount of significant, truly important work you get done - and the impact it could have on you personally and professionally. You won't want to miss this. It could truly change everything. Why you need to think big and act small. It may sound like a contradiction to say that you need to think big and act small. But it's exactly right. Thinking big means that you get a big picture view of where you are headed. You know the WHY behind what you are after and the difference it will make when you get there. But in order TO get there, you've got to act small. You've got to narrow that field of vision so you can see the first, most vital things that need to be done in order to move you in the preferred direction of your vision quickly. That's how truly significant things are accomplished and how you can reach your goals in record time with maximum effectiveness. Geoff Woods is on the podcast to share how to accomplish this and more, so be sure you listen. The power of time blocking to truly get things done. Time blocking is a practice that enables you to focus your attention over a prolonged period of time for the sake of being efficient and effective. It enables you to avoid distraction, stay on task, and walk away with a true sense of accomplishment. But more important than how you feel about what you've done, you will actually have done what is most important - which moves you forward exponentially. On this episode, Geoff Wood shares how time blocking works and how doing it the right way can free you up to live the life you want to live. Outline Of This Great Episode [0:24] Ryan's introduction to his guest Geoff Woods. [4:22] The problem we have: We don't know how to manage our time. [13:04] The things that helped Geoff double his productivity and build an empire. [17:30] Why are you dividing your focus? [19:53] “The One Thing” does not mean that you only do one thing. [23:34] What most people do when they create a to-do list and how to do it right.
