Podcasts about your one thing

Imagine the conversation around your deathbed.  What topics would you be talking about?  What would concern you most?  Give you the greatest joy?  What is YOUR ONE THING?

L.A.'s coastline has some of the most desirable and beautiful beaches in the history of the world. . .but did you know they are man-made?!? Also on this episode (22:45),  Your One Thing to do in L.A. this Week. . .The 9 Best Hidden Beaches in L.A.

Before we get too much into discovering and defining Your ONE Thing, I want to preface this by saying that it isn't about only doing or having ONE thing.Even though that level of focus is pretty amazing (and is something I'm working towards, it's a process).This is about creating the ONE thing you're known for.Not a niche (swear I'm not anti-niche, I'm anti-ONLY-niche), but more of a brand philosophy and mantra that people associate with you and your business.And if you're a personal brand, ideally, people associate your ONE thing with YOU personally.I'm hosting a free workshop next week, so I thought I'd give you a little sneak peek and preview what we're going to cover and why this is crucial to differentiate yourself in a very noisy world filled with AI content.And for what it's worth, I LOVE AI and use it all the time.But what sets you apart is who you are.If you have even a little understanding and knowledge of copywriting, marketing, direct response, and content, you can use AI pretty easily and get decent output.What AI can't do is be YOU (and hopefully not in my lifetime because, let's face it, that's a little creepy to even think about).You can absolutely train it to sound like you, write in your voice, use the type of language you use, but you still have to train it.That's where Your ONE Thing comes in.I have a 6-step framework for “Your ONE Thing” – so let's jump into it.Be sure to register for the FREE workshop here. The LIVE Workshop is on Wednesday, May 15th at 11:00 PDT. It will be recorded, but you need to register.If you get this after the live workshop, you can register and watch the on-demand workshop for free with the same link (and my goal is to run this live more than once while I continue iterating and refining everything).Your ONE Thing FrameworkHere's the 6-step framework, with more detailed explanations below:Core Discovery DiveAudience AlchemyIdea IncubatorReality CheckIdentity ImprintLaunchpad Lift-OffLet's dive deeper into each one.Core Discovery Dive (self-assessment & reflection):This is the self-assessment and reflection step of the framework. You're going to want to dive deep into the core of your personal and business identity to uncover the unique elements that define you. Self-awareness is key here. This step also requires a certain level of courage and commitment to showing up genuinely as yourself and letting go of what people think.Understanding your strengths and passions will make creating more authentic and engaging content much easier.Audience Alchemy (market and audience analysis):This involves a combination of market research and analysis and knowing your ideal target audience, including psychographics (which are just as valuable, if not more valuable, than demographics).You want to hone in on what excites them, their desires, and the specific problems they have that you can solve uniquely.Understanding market trends and audience preferences can help refine your unique selling proposition to meet your audience where they're at.Idea Incubator (ideation & concept development):This is where we will start brainstorming potential “ONE Things” for you and your business. I love all the steps, but this is probably my favorite. There are a couple of different methodologies for doing this, including the SCAMPER method (which I just discovered) and my Umbrella method.The Umbrella method is an easier place to start, and then, as you get clearer, you can iterate and move on to the SCAMPER method if you want to go deeper.Reality Check (validation and testing):This is where the...

Your One Thing to Do in L.A. This Week is, simply put, awe-inspiring. A FREE visit to a place with some of the best views in Los Angeles uncovers one of the greatest Hidden Secrets in the City: a 900-seat auditorium built specifically for one of the largest paintings in the world, 195 feet long and 45 feet tall!! And the story of how it came to L.A. is almost as long as the painting itself, full of tragedy, resurrection, and wonder.

As the church in America faces a steady decline in attendance and giving, many church leaders are quick to blame outside forces like secularism, progressivism, wokeism, or even the COVID-19 pandemic, for why people are leaving their church.But what if judgmental Christians are to blame for killing the church?

To go far—in business or in life—you have to lean on the knowledge and experience of those who've been where you want to go. That's what mentorship is all about.Easier said than done, though. People are busy—especially successful ones. But what if we told you that you can find all the mentors you need without them even knowing who you are?Scott Jeffrey Miller is a speaker, author, and podcast host with over 25 years in the leadership development industry. His new book Master Mentors Volume 2 is a compilation of thirty transformative insights from the greatest minds he's had the honor to interview on his podcast.

How to Discover YOUR GeniusYou Are the Best in the World at Something – What's Your One Thing? – Matthew KellyGet Matthew's 60 Second Wisdom delivered to your inbox: https://www.matthewkelly.com/subscribeVideo Transcript:“Albert Einstein observed, “Everybody is a genius. But if you judge a fish by its ability to climb a tree, it will live its whole life believing that it is stupid.” So, “What is your genius?”You see, I believe that we are all capable of doing one thing better than any other person alive at this time in history. What is your one thing?I know you may be thinking that you don't have a genius. You may be tempted to doubt the idea and think that I am talking only about other people. No. Everybody is a genius. What is your genius? Stop judging yourself by the world's standards, let go of all the expectations people have been weighing you down with your whole life, and let your genius emerge. What's your one thing? You may be the best in the world at being a mother or father to your child. You may be the best in the world at loving your spouse. You may be the best in the world at being a kindergarten teacher in your town. The world doesn't see these things as genius, but the world is wrong.

There's a common phrase that gets thrown around when it comes to teamwork: “There's no ‘I' in ‘Team.'” But every team is made up of individuals—when we lose sight of that, the whole team suffers.Teams need to be able to work together as a whole, but we can't forget to address the individual influences and strengths that each person brings to the team. And each team, or even the entire company, can be viewed as a single “individual.” That's the thesis that Brian and Mary Smith put forth.Brian is the founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 18 thousand CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide. Together with his daughter Mary, they've authored the book Individual Influence: Find the “I” in Team.

You can't build a business on your own. And as you grow, the people who helped you build may no longer be a good fit for their role—or for the growth and direction of the company.

It's the time of year when individuals or organizations look at the goals they set for themselves and wonder whether they set the right goals or if the strategies they implemented to achieve them are falling short.A goal should stretch you, which means you may not have absolute clarity on how to achieve it when you start the year. You may want to stick with that goal and challenge yourself to find new ways to achieve it. Yet as the year goes on you'll learn more about yourself, or perhaps life circumstances will change—we're all familiar with that over the past few years. So when is it okay to make adjustments to our goals?We're going to discuss what to do when your goal no longer feels achievable, or how to move forward when circumstances change. We'll also talk about when it may be time to reexamine your goals and make some adjustments to be more in line with your current circumstances.If you're interested in setting up some accountability within your relationship, we are hosting our annual Couples Goal Setting Retreat to get aligned on what success looks like and how to keep each other on track towards achieving them.

How important do you think habits are in your life?The way you show up in the world today is a reflection of the habits you have formed over a lifetime.

In a world full of choices, deciding what matters most can be tricky. We know extraordinary success is about leaning into our priorities and avoiding distractions – but how do we know when to say yes and when to say no?Many people are searching for purpose. They want clarity on That ONE Thing so that they can make better decisions and have a direction for their life. But the truth is that clarifying your purpose is not always easy. Tapping into Your ONE Thing is a journey, not a lightning bolt.To help you navigate that journey, Jay Papasan talks about a new tool we're developing here at The ONE Thing: The Core Values Deck. Jay has been a driver behind making this project a reality, and he shares how identifying your values can be a compass for your life and a tool to point you in the direction of your purpose.It's incredible how much clarity three little words can bring, which is what makes this such a powerful exercise and tool.

On April 1st, 2022, The ONE Thing book turned nine years old. To celebrate nine years of helping people discover their lead domino, prioritize what matters most, and achieve extraordinary results, we're looking back at our top nine favorite podcast episodes.Extraordinary results become possible when you are clear on what you are saying yes to.We can't say yes to everything. When you set up dominos, the path to knocking them all down doesn't involve flicking at them randomly one at a time. You set them up, line them up, and whack away at the first one. But so many people doubt that they can find that ONE Thing when it feels like they have so many things to focus on.Every year, Jon Gordon identifies one word that he's going to focus on, a word that brings purpose to what he does. He uses that one word every single day to bring clarity to his actions.

Time is your most valuable resource. The problem is, most people spend their time instead of investing it. The resulting waste is amplified if you apply it across an entire organization. If you can't focus on what matters most, you end up working longer hours and sacrificing your personal life.We help people implement a simple system to turn their big vision into action steps. Instead of just being busy, you'll be productive and achieve extraordinary results both professionally and at home. While the principles of The ONE Thing are surprisingly simple, they can be challenging to live.What stops most people from living The ONE Thing is the lack of a system – which we've called “The ProduKtive System.” In the third of our six-part series, we discuss how to build a strategy and get clarity across your organization by creating a one-page business plan. We discuss the top challenges that most business planning processes face and help you understand the problems that they can lead to.If you would like help implementing this in your own life in less time and with less stress, visit the1thing.com.

Is the life you are leading today the one you really want? Are you showing up as the truest, best form of yourself? The times we live in today are extremely challenging but also provide an opportunity to challenge ourselves to reach and grow to new heights.

What's Your One Thing? | Episode 450 | Todd Conklin | #BeDistinctiveWhen you go all in on something, really go into beast mode to get it done, you're acting from your heart instead of your head. It's a life-changing feeling, to accomplish a goal when you've given it everything you possibly can. In today's episode, Todd Conklin shares how you can use the momentum from that one thing to accomplish another, and another after that. Check it out, then decide what your one thing will be for July and get started!

In a world full of noise when it comes to pivoting your business and even re-inventing yourself, it is of utmost importance to assess (or reassess) what the heck is it that we really want to do. As business owners, entrepreneurs, visionaries & leaders, it’s time to stop randomly putting offers together to hustle for income on a month-by-month basis. The times that we are living now are calling for us to be intentional and strategic not only about how we are going to make ends meet in 4 to 8 weeks but how we are going to thrive in the next 6 months and get momentum for the next 3 years. In this episode, I want to guide you through a 3-steps process that I’ve used every time that I’ve had to re-invent myself. No surprise that 4 weeks ago I had to go through it again to decide on my "ONE THING" now, aka the right product or service. Let’s figure out together now what YOUR ONE THING.

Welcome to a solo episode about a very important topic: Focusing on Your ONE Thing. This episode is an outgrowth of one of my personal goals for 2017, which is to read one business-related book per month. I’ve already read a book that has impacted me greatly and changed the way I approach my business. The book is The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book hones in on the principle that successful businesses with innovative products and services focus on one project at a time, instead of going in many different directions at once. Learn how these principles can positively impact your business. Join me!   You can read the full show notes at www.sellingthecouch.com/session108

How are you adapting in these unprecedented times? The path of living The ONE Thing is relatively simple: you identify Your ONE Thing, you time block Your ONE Thing, and you protect your time block. That is a path of mastery that you go down over the course of your life. But we’ve been dealt a new hand now and circumstances have changed. We have to pivot and make sure that we can still be productive in the areas of our life that matter most. Ask yourself: what is The ONE Thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary? Even in difficult times, the question and the process are still the same. Look at your life today and find out what you can be doing to knock over that lead domino. And don’t forget to give yourself some grace. We’re all facing this together.

If you knew what Your ONE Thing was, wouldn’t it make sense to make it a habit? Forming habits is more than just behavior change — It’s about getting clarity on the activities required to become the person you are striving to be. It’s about the daily choices that define your future self. It’s about leaning into habits as a system for small, daily improvements that, with time, add up to extraordinary results. Today, we’re going to hear from someone who knows a thing or two about habit formation. He’s lived it firsthand while also digging into research that is the foundation of the 66-day challenge. We talk about the reasoning behind the 66 days, how changing one habit can lead to a halo effect, and how you can find Your ONE Thing that, by doing it, makes everything else easier or irrelevant. We don’t need to overthink this. Sometimes we get paralyzed by trying to choose the right one thing and all we actually need to do is point ourselves in the direction of our goals and take the first small step. For you, that might be to join our community and jump in during this time where we are forming new habits together and gain the accountability and sense of belonging that you need to get through this next season. Visit the1thing.com/habits to get your 66-day trial and form a power habit with us.   In this episode, you will learn... [06:23] When behaviors become a habit [10:26] Making your habits really important to you [14:37] How to find your lead domino [26:45] Finding the small activities you need to change [35:31] What the halo effect is and how it compounds change [39:54] Reverse engineering a results-driven goal [44:18] Taking care of yourself before you take care of others [47:24] Knowing when to pivot and change your habits   Links & Tools From This Episode Join the 66-day challenge: the1thing.com/habits

How can we build an even stronger sense of community around The ONE Thing? With everything that is going on in the world with the coronavirus, many of the things that we thought were clear now seem a little fuzzy and our priorities may be shifting. We are just like you. We are dealing with what you are right now. Our office is shut down, and when we look at our business, the direction we were going, and the things that were priorities, we are legitimately questioning what’s important. This episode is all about what you can do when you don’t know what to do. And one thing that we can do right now is to recognize that we are in this together. Every one of us has been derailed, and our priorities have completely changed. How do we begin to take back control of our time so we can have clarity about how we want to invest it? That’s what we’re going to walk you through.   We are kicking off another 66-day challenge on March 30th, and we need this now more than ever.

Have you ever found yourself wondering how you can get others to start living The ONE Thing? Whether it would be possible for your company to start reflecting this in their culture? So many people have reached out and say that they love The ONE Thing, but that they could never get their boss on board, that their company would never get behind it. Your company’s culture starts with you and our guest today is an example of that. Ed Nottingham is inside human resources at a Fortune 100, he has zero direct reports, and he loved the ideas of The ONE Thing and wanted to start living it as an individual. He never thought this would work inside his company, but it’s become a major initiative there. We’re going to walk through the steps of what this looked like so that you — as an individual — can begin to empower others to live The ONE Thing.   In this episode, we continuously point to two models we use: The GPS and the 411.

How is it that, when we all have the same amount of time, some of us achieve extraordinary things while others are simply ordinary? Everybody knows how to set goals, but what we need to figure out is how to have a relationship with them. How do you stay in touch with the things that you said are important? It’s tough to do, but there’s a simple practice that will help you stay in contact with the things that are important. We’ve previously talked about how to stop spending your time and start investing it.

What does it look like to see The ONE Thing become part of the culture of an organization? The answer is different depending on what your organization looks like, but there’s one place where it always makes sense — sales! When salespeople are clear on their priorities, form habits around the activities that truly drive results, get clear on what they’re saying yes to, and learn how to say no to all of their distractions, it drives the overall revenue of the business and makes everything else easier or unnecessary.  But what does it really look like to live The ONE Thing as a salesperson? To answer that question, we sit down with Jonathan Farber, who was able to use the principles of The ONE Thing to create models and systems that have had a transformative effect on his time and his organization’s revenue. If you want to put some of Jonathan’s lessons into action, check out our free Start Using Your 411 training course.

Growing up, we all hear that it’s better to give than receive — and this is especially true when it comes to business relationships — but do your goals reflect that? Because we all know that, if you want to build a great business and a great career, it all comes down to the quality of our relationships. But when it comes to setting goals, most of us aren’t intentionally designed to ensure we build deep and meaningful relationships within our business or with the people we serve. But that also means, for most of us, there is a huge opportunity to grow our businesses! Because there are a number of simple things you can do, starting immediately, that will truly transform the depth of the relationships that you have — if you take consistent action over the next year. Patrick Galvin, the author of The Connector’s Way, joins the show to share the simple steps to building a business one relationship at a time.   To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/podcast.   In this episode, you will learn... -[4:25] The lead domino that will help you drive growth for your business and enrich your life -[6:20] How you can bring value to someone who you perceive to be more accomplished, famous, etc. -[9:00] ONE thing you need to do after you ask someone how you can add value -[17:25] How to identify whether your actions are helping you form meaningful relationships or just taking up time -[18:50] The power of recommending others on social platforms   Links & Tools From This Episode -Learn more at patrickgalvin.com -Read: The Connector’s Way -Free screen & video recorder: www.loom.com -Video emailing service: bombbomb.com   --   Is your job Your ONE Thing?

Have you ever worked hard day in and day out, week after week, only to find yourself wondering why you’re even doing what you’re doing?   Sometimes we are so focused on climbing the ladder that we don’t notice it’s leaning against the wrong wall — and this is because there are unintended consequences to setting your goals by looking forward.   When you set goals looking forward, you miss the most important part of goal setting: where you’re going and why you’re going. If you don’t have that purpose and priority before you set your goals and start working away at them, you can’t be productive.

Have you ever wondered, what is the One Thing you can do to make you and your child better performers? My name is Pearle. I am a sports dietitian, the founder of Eat This For Performance, and a former elite level athlete. In the early years of my hockey career, I struggled to conquer my technical weaknesses, and didn’t know what to focus on to up my game. In this episode, learn how I discovered the power of the One Thing, and how you can apply it to your own performance goals. The One Thing is actually a book written by Gary W. Keller. Consider it to be a guide to being your most productive self. Join me as I discuss the 3 main concepts that appeared in the book that I know helped me become the best hockey player, business owner and mother I can be. (Hint: it involves planning your vacation time before anything else...you’re gonna want to hear this). Use these techniques towards your own performance goals and explore this concept when you are developing your skills such as time blocking tasks with a focus on your strengths, not your weaknesses. If there’s one thing you do today (haha), review this podcast and tell us YOUR One Thing you do for performance. Share with us your strengths and weaknesses, and know that at Eat This For Performance we have the tools to support you in your performance goals. To make performance eating part of mastering your One Thing, take your first step now by downloading the ET4P StarterKit. To get to nutrition mastery faster, check out the ET4P meal plans and online course.

What were you taught about setting goals as a kid?   If we’re taught anything, we’re usually taught to set goals around New Year’s. But now, as we head into the last quarter of the year, is actually the perfect time to start considering our goals for the upcoming year.   Gary Keller and Jay Papasan show us that, if you want to have great success, you have to have a bigger view of time — and you have to understand that the actions you take today may not have results until days or months down the road. So, in this episode, Jay and Wendy Papasan are going to share how they’ve been setting goals for years and how you can apply these simple practices into your own relationship and/or business, even if the other people in your world aren’t goal setters.   If you want to join us at our Goal-Setting Retreat Nov. 9th & 10th in Austin, TX, you can learn more at the1thing.com/event.

The ONE Thing is about the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results — but anyone who has tried knows that simple doesn’t mean easy.   Life throws us curveballs.

How, in those moments, can we get back on track?   Today, our guest is Chris Hofmann, who is a member of our Living Your ONE Thing Community. He was well on his way to building a career as a successful executive, counterbalancing that with a great family life, when his world was turned upside down by a series of strokes.

Does your organization have a culture of accountability?   In the last episode, Abe Shreve taught us that one of the critical mistakes that many businesses make is not creating a culture of accountability.

What does it actually mean to live The ONE Thing?   Sometimes we have an idea of what we think it means to live The ONE Thing at the highest level.

So, today, we are going to demystify what it means to live The ONE Thing.   Our guest has been living The ONE Thing at a pretty high level for over a year.

Do you ever struggle living the principles of The ONE Thing?   We know that there’s a surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results – but simple doesn’t mean easy.

Question from Enzo in Texas: "How do you adapt faster with a new team, in a company very different from any previous companies you've worked with? What advice would you give in regards to what should be top priority when trying to merge into an entirely new team?” Companies may be different, but people are exactly the same.  It’s useful to understand the culture for the sake of context or perspective, but the muscle you need to flex is connecting with individuals. You have to make the time to connect:  understand and empathize.  You can do this over beer, or an initial round of 1-1 coaching, but never do it in public - people need a safe place to discuss. Logic never sells anything.  You have to connect with people’s emotions. Meet their needs - find a way to serve, to give and to get them more of what they want. Find a way to connect what you value to what they value - bring Your One Thing. Most importantly, you describe your excitement to be starting your new role, a genuine desire to connect with and help people, and a deep admiration for your client’s culture.  Start there.  Serve.

It all starts in your mind. Take some time on a regular basis to deliberately decide how you want to carry yourself each day and where it is you want to end up—Craft Your Life with purpose and precision. Tell your mind what it needs to hear. You do have the ability to teach your own mind how to think and how to work. Precision, repetition and deliberate action are the key. The modern term for this is neuroplasticity—your brain has the ability to reorganize and reprogram itself. Make it a regular habit to pull yourself away from family, friends and co-workers and spend some time alone. It can be five minutes, fifteen minutes or an afternoon. Make it solitary and make it quiet. Personally I like to reflect on and set my intentions on a daily basis before I start the day. Start by writing down your Life Mission, Life Vision and One Thing. Your Life Mission is the overriding code for how you will live your life. It’s the foundation for all that you do. Put your Mission before everything else and let it guide you in all your endeavors. And when things get difficult, dig in and hold on with Righteous Defiance; sometimes that’s all a man can do. Your Life Vision is the specific list of goals you wish to achieve and where and how you want to live your life. Create this Vision in your mind; see your surroundings, your achievements, your loved ones and yourself. Visualize your life as you would like to live it—feel it. Your One Thing is the ultimate achievement that will put you up in the High Country; it’s the one goal that will fuel your motivation like no other and light your life on fire. If you don’t have a One Thing then get one. Dig deep and decide what it is that would bring on the light like nothing else. Do so and it will change your life. Consider what you believe the Creator would want for you in all His benevolence. Treat yourself as you would your new born son and design your life with the same pride and joy. The Spark of Greatness is still within you, regardless of your past. Remember, the past is an illusion, it no longer exists. All that matters is the present moment and your plans for the future. Put your past behind you and commit to the glory ahead. With pen or keypad in hand get it done. Find the words and stake your claim to Purpose. With the above trifecta—Mission, Vision, One Thing— you will predict and then execute how you want to live your life with the precision of the written word. By deliberately articulating your ambitions you will define your life with razor sharp accuracy. Having specific and concrete words delineate your present and future self will be a huge advantage. It will set you apart. It will lift you up and provide you with tremendous focus. You will be able to pursue your life with clarity and a force of purpose; like few other men. Speak your Mission, Vision and One Thing to yourself out loud. Let your mind hear your voice over and over again. Driving alone in the car or any other solitary moment will do. You will create a positive feedback loop that will transform your life. First you will think and then you will write. From there you will speak and then you will take action. And each step will reinforce the other. Fire things up with Vision Fantastic, so let’s get to work and Achieve Personal Greatness. Begin by carrying yourself as if you are already years into your plans. You’ve made a serious and thoughtful decision about how you want to live your life and where it is you want to end up. You’ve specifically designed the very best version of you—so why wait? You’ve been there before. You’ve had a taste of it. We’ve all had those days where we’ve lived and executed on a higher plane. Become your ideal self today and leave the old you behind. You’re not a fool. You’re obviously aware of the work that still needs to be done. But if you conduct yourself as you see the future you, then you will be imbued with the energy and state of ...

059: Marketing and Promoting a Yoga Teacher Training with Ashley Hagen [Consultation Call]   Today's episode is a consultation call between Shannon and Ashley Hagan, who is preparing to co-teach her second 200-hour yoga teacher training course.

If she can do it, you can do it too... if you stop making excuses.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Tammy reminds us that if you don't find and stick to Your ONE Thing, the only person you're letting down is yourself... and why would you want to do that?   We all have baggage, we all have problems, and we all have the same opportunity to create an extraordinary life. Will you hold yourself accountable for making that your standard, or will you make excuses?   What do you need to get so committed to finding Your ONE Thing that you won't let anything else get in the way?   In this episode you will learn... [1:20] How focus produces extraordinary results – not just in business, but also in your health. [16:55] How you can start finding clarity.

On this episode we continue our discussion from the book The ONE Thing. A common response from Loan Officers when sharing the principles from the book is that it’s impossible focus on ONE thing and to not be interrupted during an average "day in the life" of a Loan Officer. Success does not mean perfection. It’s not about avoiding distraction every minute of every day. The perfect, uninterrupted day is impossible. The goal is to figure out what matters most, and when you’re doing that ONE Thing, eliminate distraction. I time block. If you looked at my calendar, you’d see regular appointments with myself to do my most important work. That’s when I avoid distractions at all costs. Think of it like going to movies. You’re there for ONE Thing—to see the film. Because you’re really clear about that, you turn off your cell phone, you grab snacks in case you get hungry, and you probably even make a pit stop before you go in. All this so you can have an uninterrupted experience. What’s Star Wars ONE Thing? Making awesome movies right? Did you know Star Wars sells $10Billion in movie related toys and apparel but has only grossed about $4Billion from its movies? So making movies is Star Wars ONE Thing. Focusing on that creates an audience of loyal fans and a distribution channel that’s worth billions. When you time block your most important work and treat it like going to movies—you build a bunker around avoiding distraction and amazing things happen. When you start thinking of your days this way, the burden of always having to be “on” diminishes and you end up accomplishing more. How do you discover what your “one thing” is? You simply ask yourself in any given area of your life, “What’s the one thing I can do, such that by doing it everything else is easier or unnecessary?” Of course its not just ONE Thing forever but one step at a time. In other words, absolute focus on that ONE, most important thing at that time that will move your closer to your outcome – one step at a time. Success is sequential, not simultaneous. Its one step at a time; ONE thing at a time; It’s not your one and only thing. It’s the ONE Thing right now. Your ONE Thing is always tied to your destination. At any given moment it is your most levered action – your first domino – that starts it all and gets you the most bang for your buck. We can’t do everything, but we can do ONE Thing that matters most at any given moment in time. Over time, a pattern can emerge around your career, skills and passion. For me, my ONE Thing always comes back to teaching, coaching and sharing content in one form or another. That’s my ONE Thing. What’s your ONE Thing? Listen to today’s episode. I hope it helps you get clarity and focus on your ONE thing – for right now.

Welcome to a solo episode about a very important topic: Focusing on Your ONE Thing. This episode is an outgrowth of one of my personal goals for 2017, which is to read one business-related book per month. I’ve already read a book that has impacted me greatly and changed the way I approach my business. The book is The One Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. The book hones in on the principle that successful businesses with innovative products and services focus on one project at a time, instead of going in many different directions at once. Learn how these principles can positively impact your business. Join me!   You can read the full show notes at www.sellingthecouch.com/session108
