EPISODE 471: That One Thing
Screw It Just Do It Solo
EPISODE SUMMARY
Welcome to Episode #471.
During this episode, I talk about the one thing that stands between you and your goals. No matter how success is measured, only the ability to dismiss distractions and concentrate on your one thing stands between you and your goals. That one thing is about getting extraordinary results in every situation.
Having just re-read the awesome book 'The One Thing' by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan for the nth time, I thought it's about time to share it and my thoughts with you.
Here are some highlights:
The secret of getting ahead is getting started. The secret to getting started is breaking your complex, overwhelming tasks into small, manageable tasks.
Don't put all your eggs in one basket is all wrong. I tell you put all your eggs in one basket and then watch that basket intently.
Focus on one thing and the narrower that focus is, the better. That's the one thing.
