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. Using the tools Jon mentions in this episode will help you bring focus to every aspect of your life, too.

How do you succeed in health, your relationships, and with your money when there is so much uncertainty in the world?

One is a husband and wife couple who have gone on a journey of transforming their health, their wealth, and their relationship. The other is a corporate attorney who has leveraged The ONE Thing’s goal setting principles to not only maintain a thriving career this year but make sure she’s showing up as a wife and as a mother first.

You know what it’s like to question why you’re here, to feel like you’re working long and hard but deep down wonder if you’re doing the right thing, to look up at the end of the day, know you were busy, but question whether you actually got anything done. We all face these problems – some of us more than others.

Lionel Strong has faced all of these challenges in a unique way throughout his career of over 20 years with the US Army Special Forces as a Green Beret. Today, he is the Command Sergeant Major within the Army – essentially the COO of the military. We discuss how he came across The ONE Thing, how he struggled to identify his purpose beyond his teams, what it looks like to prioritize things when everything feels like a top priority, and how to strike better counterbalance with your family when your job could otherwise consume so much.

So many of us have dreams of starting a business, but it’s often fear of the unknown that stops us from pursuing those dreams. If you’re an employee, giving up those golden handcuffs can be difficult. Sometimes it takes waiting until the pain of our current situation is unbearable to necessitate change.

For Brian Scudamore, founder of 1-800-GOT-JUNK and its parent company O2E Brands, that pain was realizing that what started out as a way to pay for college was actually what he was meant to do – even if that meant disappointing his family. 

Now, over thirty years later, Brian is sharing what he knows about building businesses in his new book, BYOB: Build Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss.

THE ONE THING TO IMPLEMENT FROM THIS EPISODE

When you’re starting towards a new goal, it can be deflating to attach yourself to an ideal outcome and constantly measure your success by whether or not you’ve achieved it. Instead, align yourself with the journey and know that each step is a victory. If you want to get started on a business of your own, check out Brian’s new book, BYOB: Build Your Own Business, Be Your Own Boss.

Today’s episode begs a few questions. What’s the right job for you? What do you do exceptionally well that brings value to the people around you and the greater organization? And, where are you spending your time that doesn’t align with the answers to those questions?

Every single one of us wants to have the perfect job, a job that we love to do, that we are great at, that fulfills us, and that creates value. That said, most of us know what it feels like to question if we’re heading in the right direction at all.

Mark takes us through his journey to discovering what the right seat was for him and his business – and unpacks his realization that the long-term success of his company could no longer depend solely on him.
