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. As an individual you can learn more about our Living Your ONE Thing training membership, and if you are a leader wanting to facilitate creating this plan in your organization or team, request a consultation.
