200 episodes is a major milestone for us, in no small part because of the tremendous support and feedback we’ve received from all of you. 

So, to show our appreciation, we huddled together to figure out the ONE thing we could do to provide the most value to you in this episode.

So, today, your co-hosts Geoff Woods and Kaelyn Loes are going to dissect the different mindsets that we adopt after we achieve big goals – and the choices that we can make to keep pushing ourselves further down the road to mastery.

Imagine you are on an airplane and, along the way, it starts to deviate just a few degrees off course – if the plane does not correct course over the length of that flight, do you think you’ll end up in the right destination?

Probably not, and who knows where we would end up! But this is the way that most people live their lives – they wake up, take action, and move forward, but they’re not always clear on exactly where they’re going or why they’re going there. And when they’re off course, they’re not even aware of it, which is why so many people live a life by default instead of a life by design.

So, today, we want to introduce you to Dr. Cindy McGovern, who has been living the principles of The ONE Thing to ensure that she has a great career, and you will hear how purpose and planning were fundamental to living her mission: changing the way that people view sales.

Do you know what it’s like to be so busy taking action that it feels like you don’t have time to slow down and create a plan?

We all feel this way sometimes. It’s become the norm in society – we wake up, we check email, we show up to work, we check email, we go to meetings, other people need our help so we stop to help them, and on and on. We race through the day feeling like we are so busy and then we question if we got anything done.

Today’s guest shares why there’s nothing worse than running enthusiastically in the wrong direction – and how doing so cost him $100MM. Keith Cunningham is the author of The Road Less Stupid, the story of how that mistake taught him the ONE habit that makes everything else in business easier or unnecessary.

This show is often very inspiring, motivational, and simple, but life isn’t always that way – and sometimes things happen that rock you to our core. 

The grief that we feel as a result can be debilitating, causing us to feel stuck and hopeless. But that isn’t really the case. We all have the power to overcome any obstacle, even when life throws us unfair and unexpected curveballs.

Our guest, Casey Balgard, has gone through every parent’s worst nightmare – the loss of a child – but, today, we’re going to walk through what happened, how The ONE Thing entered his life, and how he used it to help him move forward and manage his grief. We know that there are many people out there struggling with grief, but if Casey’s story can help you, then it’s fulfilling our mission: helping you take back control of your time and gain clarity on how you want to invest it moving forward.

Do you ever feel guilty because you’re not perfectly prioritizing Your ONE Thing, or because you’re not as successful as you’d like to be?

We have to remember that living The ONE Thing isn’t about being perfect – and we don’t need to apologize if we stumble a little on the journey! We can give ourselves some grace.

Today’s guest, Rachel Hollis, is the bestselling author of Girl, Wash Your Face and the brand-new book Girl, Stop Apologizing. She helps women all over the world balance everything – although these principles really apply to everyone – and she’s just the reminder we need to get over the mid-year hump.

What does it actually mean to live The ONE Thing?

Sometimes we have an idea of what we think it means to live The ONE Thing at the highest level. We start to take action, but things aren’t quite as easy as we thought they would be. So, today, we are going to demystify what it means to live The ONE Thing.

Our guest has been living The ONE Thing at a pretty high level for over a year. She was a little skeptical when she started, but she had a powerful reason to push through – because her job was on the line. Kaelyn Loes is now responsible for content for The ONE Thing and she’s been responsible for helping to shape the strategy for how we help all of you live the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results.
