Get Back on Track with John Schumacher

We’re already midway through 2023. Perhaps, like many of us, you’ve found yourself veering off the path to your goals. It’s a common occurrence, but recognizing this and knowing how to course correct is the key to ongoing progress.

In this special 400th episode of The ONE Thing Podcast, I’m joined by John Schumacher, one of our most experienced coaches and trainers, for an enlightening discussion. John and I delve into the root causes of why we might drift away from our goals and more importantly, how we can regain our bearings and get back on track.

It’s normal to fall behind, but giving up should never be an option. Instead, we need to understand the factors that led us astray, adjust our course, and keep moving forward. Now, let’s take some time to introspect, understand what might be causing us to deviate, and explore how we can get back on track with our goals alongside John Schumacher.

Greatest Hits – The High Achiever’s Guide to Happiness, Confidence, and Success with Dan Sullivan

In this greatest hits episode, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes where Dan Sullivan shares how you can stop living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be – and start living in the happiness you cultivate by recognizing your daily gains of progress.

Have you ever set goals that you thought would deliver you pure happiness once you achieved them – just to work hard, achieve them, and move on to the next without giving yourself a chance to feel fulfilled or celebrated? We all have and it’s something we should work out of our productivity-laden routines.

How might we create more sustainable happiness on our road to achievement? Dan Sullivan has been working with business owners for decades under the program, The Strategic Coach, and was one of the pioneers of the coaching industry. We have a conversation around what it means to shift your perspective so you get out of the gap of dissatisfaction and live in the gain – where happiness lives.

We’re always looking forward to the next goal, but we don’t give ourselves the chance to celebrate the successes we’ve had. This is common among ambitious people. The problem with this is that it undermines our happiness in the long run. Backed by his world-class expertise and experience in the field, Dan helps us lay the groundwork for this profound shift toward fulfilment.

Greatest Hits – Habits with Gary Keller

At last year’s Goal Setting Retreat, Gary Keller said this: “If you have big goals and you haven’t achieved them yet, there are only two reasons that you’re where you are instead of where you want to be: it’s either the actions you took or the relationships you have.” And he’s right.

Think about the habits, the choices, and the relationships that got you to where you are today. Now think about what you may be missing in order to achieve growth and pursue bigger goals.
