ONE Word That Will Change Your Life

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

Put Your Money Where Your Priority Is

As you go on your journey to living The ONE Thing, you realize it’s not just about your professional success. In fact, most of it has to do with your personal life.

Money is an important topic for people to set goals around, but it’s also one of the most challenging topics for couples. And when it comes to habits, how do we form habits that allow us to live a lifestyle based on a budget — whether it’s big or small?

Over the past two decades, Jesse Mcham has been on a personal journey to get on a budget with his wife. What started as a way to help them pay for their wedding and newborn baby suddenly turned into a thriving business that has helped hundreds of thousands of people across the globe.

Fight Your Fear and Live Your Purpose

Have you ever imagined a goal so big that it takes your breath away? Or cast a vision for your life that truly fires you up — while also shaking you with fear?

You’re not alone. But the gap between you and extraordinary results is determined by whether we choose to push through the fear… or surrender to it. When you dare to think big and have a relationship with your goals, fear is the one thing that can stop us from achieving the extraordinary results we deserve and living a life without regret.

Luvvie Ajayi Jones’ purpose is rooted in making an impact in the world by helping people fight their fear. She’s learned firsthand what it looks like to form the habit of choosing courage when fear shows up, and she’s committed to helping others do the same. What would you get done if fear had no power over you? Fear is just a distraction from living your full potential. What’s the ONE Thing you can do to make fighting fear easier or unnecessary?

What Parents Can Do to Help Teens Under Pressure

After you begin your journey to living The ONE Thing and you see the value that it brings to your life — both personally and professionally — you can’t help but look at the other people in your world that you care about and want them to begin their journey to living The ONE Thing as well.

John McGuire read the book, started listening to the podcast, and started applying it to his life. He then looked to his daughter, Cat, at the time a sophomore in high school, who was facing some challenges. He wanted better for her, so he empowered her to start living The ONE Thing.

John shares what was going on in his life when he started to adopt The ONE Thing and how he introduced it to Cat, who weighs in on the value that it has brought to her and what she now sees as possible for her life.

Sharpen Your Trust Edge

When we think about the relationships we have — whether that be in our professional world or our personal lives — there is one thing that can determine the quality of those relationships: trust.

When you have trust, so many things become possible. But without it, our ability to succeed is limited.

David Horsager has dedicated his life to studying trust, and his life’s mission is helping people, organizations, and teams build it at higher levels. We talk about why trust is the lead domino to success in every area of your life, and he’s going to walk us through the steps we can take to build a stronger foundation of trust with the people who matter most.

Invest Your Time Like an Owner | HomeTeam Case Study

We are in the business of time, our most valuable resource.

The problem is, most people go through their days spending their time… because they were never taught to invest it. Everything that we do here at The ONE Thing is to help you better invest your time so that you can see the ROI: achieving extraordinary results. How you invest your time varies depending on what you do professionally, and what that looks like changes dramatically when you go from being an employee to being an owner.

When the leadership team of HomeTeam started using the principles of The ONE Thing, one of their biggest challenges was applying the principles and models of their business to a franchisee who may have never been a business owner before. When you have complete control over how you spend your time in your business, it’s critical that you make sure you are investing your time instead of spending it.
