Around this time of year, things can start to get a little crazy.

We all start the year with certain goals, but life often throws us these curveballs that we don’t see coming – and, before we know it, we’re struggling to find clarity and dealing with overwhelm. But, in the midst of all of that, there’s ONE thing we can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary.

In this episode, Jay Papasan returns to share how you can find your focus, cut your stress, and hit reset so that you can get back on track towards completing your goals for the year – not by doing more, but by doing less.

When you think of the word “struggle,” what comes to mind?

Many of us think of struggle as something negative, and it’s not a great feeling when you’re going through adversity, but we think today’s guest is going to change your mind about that.

Bobby Herrera teaches us that inside of struggle is a gift – a gift that can truly change the way that we lead. Fair warning: this episode will probably pull at your heart strings a little bit, but most importantly, it’s going to challenge you to think about your purpose.

How is your health right now?

For many of us, The ONE Thing is our health – or it should be. We get so busy and stuck in the day-to-day that we often neglect healthy choices and, instead, opt for convenience. Or we just feel so busy that making a healthy meal or going to the gym just feels impossible.

Today, we want to introduce you to someone who has spent the last few years making health Her ONE Thing, and as a result, lost over 100 pounds. This is a journey that has completely transformed her productivity and personal fulfillment, in addition to her health. Laurie Roth is the Learning Experience Designer here on The ONE Thing team and we can’t wait for you to hear her story.

Everything you want in your career comes down to ONE thing – the relationships that you have.

So when we neglect our relationships, we are limiting our own ability to accomplish our goals and live extraordinary lives.

But you don’t have to settle for anything less than extraordinary, and as an extra bonus, cultivating great relationships will just make your personal and business life that much better! That’s why we are excited to share this conversation with Ken Coleman, one of the Dave Ramsey personalities and the author of The Proximity Principle: The Proven Strategy That Will Lead to a Career You Love.

How do you bring change into an organization?

The truth is, we don’t have to be in the C-suite of our organizations to spark change, or to even be a leader within our organization – because all leadership begins with self-leadership. So, when it comes to bringing The ONE Thing into an organization, it all begins with ONE person.

In this episode, Geoff Woods and Jay Papasan share how leaders can begin living the principles of The ONE Thing with their team. We dive deep into the tools that we use and train organizations to use, all so that you can live the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results.

THE ONE THING TO IMPLEMENT FROM THIS EPISODE

Too many of us know what it’s like to work in an environment where we’re always in our inbox, always going from meeting to meeting, and always feel like we’re getting distracted.

However, when we start sharing a common language and we all start getting clarity on our goals, we can shift that corporate culture, we can support each other, and we can feel comfortable saying no.

But it all starts with you living these principles – because all leadership begins with self-leadership:

Do you run a small business?

Small business owners wear a lot of hats. Some of those hats feel incredible to wear.

So ask yourself, it time to take off some of your hats?

It’s relatively easy for an individual to start practicing The ONE Thing in their daily lives… but how do you scale The ONE Thing throughout an organization?

Behind the scenes, we’ve been asking ourselves this question, and we’ve been working hard to come up with an answer that will help all teams, from a local real estate office all the way up to a Fortune 50 company, make living The ONE Thing part of their organizational culture.

Geoff Woods and Jay Papasan recently delivered a keynote presentation at the Keller Williams Family Reunion Convention, and today we’re going to share the first half of that presentation with all of you. Geoff and Jay walk you through the high-level principles you need to know before you introduce The ONE Thing to your team and what the benefits are when you begin to adopt this in your culture. Next week, in part two, we’ll discuss how leaders within an organization can begin to use the specific tools of The ONE Thing to not only live the principles yourself, but spread them with their teams.
