The ONE Thing

When Dr. James Doty was a kid growing up in tough circumstances, he happened into a magic store and met a woman who taught him the manifestation technique. He tells that story in his wildly popular first book, “Into the Magic Shop.” Today, James joins us to tell us about his new book, “Mind Magic” which covers what happened after he manifested everything he thought he wanted. As an adult, James’ manifestation of beautiful homes, cars, and life of riches came true. He was a successful neurosurgeon, jetsetting across the world. But he was miserable. After losing millions in the dot com crash, he sat down and rethought his manifestations.  In his new book, James explains that through this process of reflection, he realized that manifestation without compassion for others leads to unhappiness. He digs into the neuroscience behind this phenomenon, and shares the lessons he’s learned.  If you're a bold risk taker who wants to dream big and achieve a higher level of success in your life or business, visit the1thing.com to learn about our one-on-one coaching, as well as our exclusive community membership program. *** To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods.

What do Jane Goodall, Margaret Atwood, Neil deGrasse Tyson, Steve Wozniak, Kristi Yamaguchi, Ronnie Lott, Katy Milkman, and Angela Duckworth all have in common? Well, for starters, Guy Kawasaki has had in-depth, one-on-one conversations with each of them, and hundreds of successful people like them. But, as Guy writes about in his new book, what they truly have in common is similar paths to being remarkable. Guy Kawasaki joins us on the show today to tell us about his newest book, “Think Remarkable: Nine Paths to Transform Your Life and Make a Difference.” He’s taken 250 hours of interviews with incredible individuals on his podcast, “Remarkable People,” and distilled them into one book. Rather than list out every interview one, by one, he’s identified the nine common paths that run through each one.  In today’s episode, Guy tells us about those paths, and weaves in his own hilarious, personal stories. And he has plenty of stories: He’s been the Chief Evangelist of Apple, trustee of the Wikimedia Foundation, special assistant to the Motorola division of Google, and much more.  Guy’s wisdom and insights are a delight.

If you think your anxieties and insecurities are giving you that extra edge, extra drive, think again. In Gino Wickman’s newest book, “Shine: How Looking Inward Is the Key to Unlocking True Entrepreneurial Freedom,” he shows how inner peace leads to more positive, productive energy.

Are you lying to yourself? There are lies we tell ourselves all the time that trip us up. They’re little things we whisper in our own ear that we think will help us be productive, build good habits, or grow our business, but they don’t. In this episode, we’re going to go over the most common lies that mislead and derail us. The list includes things like “Oh I’ll just multitask and get these things done quicker” or “I’ll just rely on willpower in the moment.” Those are statements that only lead to struggles and failure later. Don’t use them to plan your day, much less your life. We talk frankly about prioritization, focus, discipline, willpower, and work-life balance. We give you the truth to counteract those little lies. Tune in and learn what to tell yourself next time you’re tempted to mislead yourself. Want to channel your discipline to build habits, rather than trying to solely rely on limited willpower?

You’ve probably heard of the fixed vs. growth mindset. But did you know it applies to whole organizations, not just individual people? And, just like with individuals, there are certain things you can do to change, improve, and support an organization’s mindset. Today, Dr. Mary C. Murphy, a protege of Carol Dweck and an esteemed psychology researcher in her own right, takes us through her newest book, “Cultures of Growth.” Business organizations are full of mindset triggers– situations that shift individuals’ mindset to be more fixed-oriented than growth-oriented. Evaluations, high effort assignments, and feedback can easily create fixed mindset thoughts of “I’m terrible” or “I’m great” instead of “What can I continue to get better.” Dr. Murphy discusses how leaders, and even non-leaders, can purposefully frame these situations to prevent a slide into a fixed-mindset and create an overall culture that supports growth mindsets. This episode is jam-packed with neuroscience research, actionable tips, and “aha” moments. Dr. Murphy really puts on a masterclass for us. We hope you get as much out of it as we did. Check out Dr. Mary C. Murphy’s book, "Cultures of Growth," today. In a world where success seems reserved for a chosen few, Cultures of Growth unveils a radically different approach to creating organizations that inspire learning, growth, and success at all levels. *** Looking to start your next big thing?

With a rich background in design and a proven track record as a senior leader in multiple organizations, Mauro brings unique insights into how we can integrate design concepts into innovation, and how we can mold technology to fit the landscape of the future. But above all, our conversation centered on the importance of people – understanding them, recognizing their needs, and finding ways to add value to their lives. This aligns perfectly with our philosophy at The ONE Thing – that having a clear purpose enables us to prioritize what truly matters, thereby driving productivity towards our set goals. If you're keen on integrating the principles of The ONE Thing into your life, don't miss out on our monthly workshop, The One Thing Foundations.

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.

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.  Do you have an opportunity to shift more toward the gain? If you’re like most ambitious people, the answer is yes. What’s The ONE Thing you can do, such that by doing it, would make living in the gain easier or unnecessary?

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.

Goals are important when it comes to building wealth. And as we always say it’s crucial to form a relationship with your goals, it’s equally important that you form a relationship with your finances. Financial intimacy is a combination of emotional and intellectual intimacy, which allows people to separate facts from feelings when it comes to money and create a safe space for them to reframe and heal the challenges that impact their behavior. Financial intelligence is also important in understanding what actions to take and what order in which to do so. Hannah Koenig is a wealth business and leadership mentor for entrepreneurs, CEO, transformational facilitator, and speaker on the Forbes Coaches Council. Her mission is to close the wealth gap and help everyday leaders to be well-resourced. In 2017, she made the decision to learn everything there is to know about finances and wealth building. This was a difficult but empowering shift, allowing her to purchase a home and build a multiple six-figure business. Hannah encourages people to take away from this conversation the idea that they have immense financial power and that they can choose what they want in terms of financial success.

At the core of what we teach is enabling you to have the ability to adapt, change, and grow.

What does football have to do with the 411? Well back in 1960, the Packers made it to the NFL Championship, had a lead the whole game, and then lost to the Eagles in a stunning display in the fourth quarter. On the first day of training camp the following year, coach Vince Lombardi walked into the locker room, held up a football, and said, “This is a football.” Why did Lombardi start with something so fundamental? He realized that if they could truly understand the surprising power of mastering the fundamentals, that that ONE thing could make everything else easier or unnecessary – and in 1961, the Packers went on to win the championship. So in this episode, we’re going to help you master the most fundamental tool in The ONE Thing toolbox: the 411. In this episode, you will learn... [6:30] How to get clarity on what matters most thing is using the 411. [12:00] How to differentiate a priority from a distraction by goal setting to the now.

Do you have a New Year’s Resolution about your health, organization, or money? There’s a good chance you do because, statistically, these are the three most common goals people set every year. But as we mentioned in the last episode, only eight percent of people actually succeed in implementing their resolutions. One of the big challenges here is that you can’t succeed alone, especially if you have a significant other, but so many of us try to. Today, we are sharing the case study of a couple who ran up against that challenge year after year – which, ultimately, meant they were fighting about money year after year – until they started having an annual couple’s goal-setting retreat 10 years ago. Now, Jenn and JP Lewis never fight about money, and in this episode, we’re going to break down how they did it and the ONE thing you can do today that will make everything else easier or unnecessary when it comes to setting your annual goals. In this episode, you will learn... [4:45] Jenn’s advice for anyone who is hesitant to participate in a couple’s goal-setting retreat [12:00] What it looks like to reallocate funds and time to what matters most, as a team. [18:00] Why you need emotional buy-in during the goal-setting process. [25:00] The ONE thing you can do to make starting the couple’s goal-setting process easier or unnecessary.

Have you started implementing the principles of The ONE Thing in your life? It’s surprisingly simple... but it’s not easy. We’ve spoken with thousands of you who have started living The ONE Thing, and once you start going down that path, you realize something pretty quickly: there’s no way to succeed alone. Today, we’re sharing Wyatt Graves’ journey from discovering to implementing the principles of The ONE Thing – to empowering a community to live these principles, too. In this episode, you will learn... [7:45] What changes when you start living The ONE Thing [13:00] How Wyatt recruited the most important people in his life to come to the goal-setting retreat with him (even those who were a little skeptical) [19:30] What it looks like when you have a relationship with your goals [26:40] What most people are missing when they start trying to implement The ONE Thing [33:00] How to endure the monotony of success   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Are you on your road to mastery when it comes to living The ONE Thing? And what do you think will be possible if the people in your world start going down that road, too? When we asked Wyatt why he continues down this road to mastery, he said it’s because he knows that all leadership begins with self-leadership; it’s difficult to influence the people you care about if you’re not, first and foremost, walking the talk. So who in your world do you really care about and who need to hear this message? Who do you want to experience what you’re experiencing by implementing the principles of The ONE Thing?

[22:45] ONE tip for becoming part of the 8% who succeed.   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: So, where do you get started? Like anything with The ONE Thing, we encourage you to think big and then go small. So instead of thinking about everything we talked about in this episode, we encourage you to focus on just the ONE thing you can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary. Keep asking the clarifying question until you find a specific, measurable activity – then go on a 66-day challenge, put that activity in your calendar, and make that activity a habit.

Think back to five years ago. What did you desperately want in your life? And have you achieved those goals yet? Gary Keller says that we can be anywhere we want in the next five years, but many of us are pretty much in the same place we were five years ago. Why is that? Because extraordinary results are only possible when you do the right things: when you have clarity about the direction that you’re going, clarity on your priorities, your calendar matches those priorities, and you act in order of priority. With the Holidays and New Year around the corner, this is the time of year when many of us are again dreaming about the future – and this time around, we want to help you establish a relationship with your goals so that you can knock down those big dominos!

Do you want to build an empire? Everything that’s required to achieve extraordinary results and, ultimately, build an empire is surprisingly simple – but that doesn’t mean everyone is doing those things. So in this episode, we discuss some of the simple little things that most entrepreneurs are not doing, preventing them from achieving the extraordinary growth they desire. This episode was originally recorded for an episode of Ryan Moran’s The One Percent, but we knew that some of you needed to hear this conversation as well. You can hear more from both Ryan Moran and Geoff Woods at CapCon 2019 (Jan 21-23 in Dallas), where Geoff will be a guest speaker. -- Mentioned in this episode: Factor 75 Head to FactorMeals.com/one50 and use code one50 to get 50% off.

Are you spending too much time working in pursuit of freedom? Gary Keller says you can be anywhere you want in the next five years... and if this is true, it really comes down to how you manage your time. We can't work more hours in the day and have a more flexible lifestyle, so something else has to change. In this episode, we’re sharing one of our most impactful episodes and one of our most-requested guests, Gene Rivers. After The ONE Thing Goal-Setting retreat, we realized we needed to share this story with you all again to remind you what’s possible when you truly invest your time (as opposed to spending it on emails and meetings and random tasks). Gene and his wife run nine successful businesses while still finding time to vacation four months out of the year and devote time to their family every day. He will teach you how you can get anything you want when you're intentional with your time and willing to focus on the most important work.

Are you in relationships with the right people, and are you being intentional about investing in the relationships that matter most? We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again – no one succeeds alone. We sat down with the best-selling author of Friend of a Friend, David Burkus, to learn why you don’t really need to be networking to meet new people, how most of the relationships and people you need to access can be gained by tapping in the people you’re already in a relationship with, and the key habits you can form to completely transform the quality of those relationships.

Do you want to live the principles of The ONE Thing not only in your personal life, but in your organization too? Sometimes we doubt whether we’ll get buy-in from leadership, or whether these principles can truly become part of the bigger corporate culture. It’s something a lot of us wrestle with throughout our careers. In this episode, we share a case study of what it looks like to bring the principles of The ONE Thing into a large organization. L’Occitane is a natural beauty brand from the South of France that was started in 1976, focusing on selling skin care, body care, and fragrances. Fast forward to today and they’re in more than 90 countries and on a mission to empower women around the globe. We’re joined by Shannon Greer, L’Occitane’s Vice President of Retail in North America.

Do you ever feel like you’re putting in a lot of hard work to achieve extraordinary results in your business or in you role, day in and day out, but you just aren’t going anywhere? We all have the same 24 hours in a day, yet some people get different results – and it all comes down to how you manage your time. If you’re acting entrepreneurially, constantly relying on your natural ability, taking action, making mistakes, and tweaking things, you’re going to run up against a ceiling of achievement. But you have an opportunity to get purposeful – to identify a model and system for achieving extraordinary results. To help us leverage that opportunity, we’re talking to someone who is responsible for five multi-million dollar business success stories in his home country of Australia, all before the age of 30. His humble beginnings, the adversities that he faced, and his rise to success are inspirational stories of how anyone, with the right motivation and the right strategies, can achieve anything they set their mind to – including rapid business growth. Our guest is the bestselling author of The Introvert's Edge, Matthew Pollard. In this episode, you will learn... [3:40] The ONE thing that’s missing for so many of us. [7:30] The 3-step model that will help you move from E to P when it comes to scaling your business. [10:10] What this 3-step model looks like in practice The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Have you ever sat down and and really asked yourself, “what’s the value that I deliver?” Have you ever actually looked out at the market to see if there is an unmet need, as opposed to just doing the work that falls into your lap? Have you ever considered what a more scalable sales system for your business might look like? We love that you take the time to invest in your education by listening to this podcast, and we also know that the greatest results come when you back it with action. So how much time can you block off to identify your purpose or ask yourself these questions? When will you do it?

At the end of the day, do you feel fulfilled and content? Imagine working hard to scale your business and having the first year where you net a million dollars. The year after, again, you net a million dollars. And then you realize something's wrong. The person you're going to meet today is a perfect example of this. He worked so hard to build a business that could scale, that could create abundance for his people and for himself personally. He did, in fact, net a million dollars two years in a row – then he realized that he was cheating himself out of what it actually means to live a life. We're going to go on a journey to see how he began to apply the 80/20 principle, focusing on his 20% for a maximum of just two hours a day, and then brought people into his world to take his 80% so they could all live a bigger, more fulfilled life. If you are someone who has the capacity to bring leverage into your world, then you will want to pay close attention to what Chris Suarez has to say in this episode. In this episode, you will learn... [22:17] What it means to live experientially [24:33] What you can do if it feels like you're cheating yourself out of what it means to actually live a life [36:45] The habits you can acquire that will make being a great coach, being a great leader, and being a talent magnet easier or unnecessary [48:50] The ingredients of contentment & an exercise you can do to find your opportunity The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Are you spending your time or are you investing your time?  So many of us go through our day unconsciously just spending our time and there is no return on the investment. We work hard, we're busy, and we wonder if we are even getting anything done. As a result, many of us are lacking fulfillment and, certainly, many of us are lacking contentment. If you want to chance this cycle, whip out a sheet of paper and start by writing down everything you do in the day, from the moment you wake up to when you go to sleep, to get an honest snapshot of where your time is going.  Then, you can use the equations Chris shared to determine whether you are investing your time or passively spending it: (Activity x Time) / Choice = Money  (Money + People) / Opportunity = Time  Time + Money = Experience (Time x Money) / Experience = Contentment  You take activity times your time, or time on task over time, divided by choice, meaning you're being strategic about where that activity and time is being invested. That equals the money. And you take money plus people, leveraged over opportunity, meaning focusing on the right opportunity. That gives you time. Then you take time plus money and that gives you experiences. Then time times money over experience is what gives you the contentment. Finally, ask yourself these questions: Are you investing your time on the right activities? Could you be doing better? Where could you be doing a better job of investing in people? And where could you be having the people that are already in your world focusing on even better opportunities? Where could you be investing your time and money in experiences that matter? And how can you design your time and money around experiences rather than hoping the experiences just show up?

Consider the things that you want to accomplish in your life... is it possible for you to achieve those things alone? Achieving all of our goals requires the support of our significant others, our business partners, our bosses, and our friends. But how many of us actually have a process for setting goals with these people who have a stake in our success? Sadly, very few of us do. But this is something we can change! Over a decade ago, The ONE Thing co-author Jay Papasan and his wife Wendy Papasan set aside a night for ONE purpose: casting a vision for what they wanted their lives to look like together so that they would be on the same page – and the idea of a couples goal-setting retreat was born! In this episode, we’re sharing a live webinar featuring Jay and Wendy, in which they talk about what their retreats look like and what you need to know to prepare for your own goal-setting retreat.

So ask yourself, who are those people, that handful of people, who matter most when it comes to achieving what you want to achieve? Do those people know what you’re really striving for over the next 12 months, or the next five years? And what would be possible if, every single day, you had them in your corner supporting you while you take the actions necessary for success? Don’t let this be just another piece of content that goes in one year and out the other – make a commitment to yourself to be the kind of person who takes action!

What were the things you really wanted out of life five years ago... and do you have them today? For many of us, the answer is no. But why? Most of us don’t know the proper way to set our goals or create a plan that we CAN accomplish, and we don’t have the tools necessary to build a real relationship with our goals so that we can make consistent progress – and that’s why we created The ONE Thing Couples Goal Setting Retreat. John Schumacher and Carol Stack are perennial goal setters, but they never did it together. Then, after going on their first couples goal setting retreat, they saw a transformation in their results.

What does that look like for you, and what are the things that you started doing differently? We know that many of you listen to the show because you’re high achievers, and you’ve probably set goals at some point in time... which means you probably also know what it’s like to struggle with your goals because the people in your life don’t know how to support you. No one succeeds alone, but most people try to – and it doesn’t have to be that way. Will you make a commitment to yourself and your future to identify the people in your life who have the greatest stake in your success, and then bring them in to set goals as a team?

Are you multiplying or diminishing the people around you? After we released episode 145 with Liz Wiseman, author of New York Times bestseller Multipliers: How the Best Leaders Make Everyone Smarter, we received a lot of feedback from all of you. We all know that no one succeeds alone – but working with and leading other people isn’t easy, and we’re not taught how to do it in school. So for this episode, we brought Liz Wiseman back, but with a twist: instead of us interviewing her, she’s going to turn the tables on Geoff Woods and help him identify where he’s diminishing as a leader. Whether you own a business, are a leader in an organization, or are an employee, this is a valuable episode because it will help you gain clarity on where you could be doing a better job of showing up and how you are influencing the people around you. In this episode, you will learn... [8:00] How your strengths can end up diminishing others [19:35] What leaders can give their teams space and reign themselves in during meetings or conversations [28:35] How learning a few “back pocket questions” can help you multiply the people around you (and what these questions sound like) [35:40] What accidental diminishers can do to start intentionally multiplying & what employees or family members can say when they are being diminished [55:55] ONE thing accidental diminishers should understand and implement The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Where might you be accidentally diminishing? It’s not a bad thing to admit that you have diminishing tendencies – we all do! One of the three commitments of The ONE Thing is following the path of mastery; always focusing on how you can get just a little bit better in any area of your life. There are spaces where you are doing extraordinarily well, but there are also places where you’re still a student and opportunities to improve. So what is the ONE thing you can do that will make multiplying the people around you easier or unnecessary?

Why is it that the majority of businesses fail? We see this all the time with, whether it's our members or the people that we do trainings with at a corporate level. Everybody always has the best of intentions in their career. Yet, they don't realize the subtle simple mistakes that they are making. And if they had the right person on the frontline of their business with them, coaching them, and guiding them, they would be able to avoid making the mistakes that ultimately lead to burnout. For over a year, you have heard us talk about the possibility of introducing The ONE Thing Coaching, a one-on-one coaching program based on the principles of The ONE Thing. A lot of you sent us emails saying you’d love that opportunity, but we hadn't earned the right to bring this program to market because we were missing a person. We found that person, Abe Shreve, and we’re excited for you to meet him in this episode. Over the last five years, he has personally led over 9000 independent coaching calls. He has had conversations with business owners from across all industries. And he has a unique perspective on what mistakes you may be making that will lead to burnout and, ultimately, to the loss of your business. If you are interested in exploring what it looks like to have a coach who can be there and guide you based on the principles of The ONE Thing, go to The1Thing.com/training. You'll see an option for The ONE Thing Coaching, and you can submit your interest there. In this episode, you will learn... [05:53] Mistake #1: Not lining up the dominoes [11:08] Mistake #2: Not learning to succeed through others [38:31] Mistake #3: Not creating a culture where accountability is the lifeblood of how we work and interact with each other The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: If after this episode, you find yourself saying, "Wow, that seems like a lot,” remember that the path to getting everything you want starts by getting just ONE thing at a time. So what's the one thing you can do such that by doing it, everything else would be easier or unnecessary? Maybe you need to complete your GPS for the upcoming year. Maybe you need to go through and do a 411 with your team. Maybe you need to look at your hiring practices. Maybe you need to sit down with your team in front of a white board and really ask, "What is our culture in one single descriptive word? What does it come down to?" Whatever you choose, we hope that you are the type of person who actually takes action. And if you believe what Abe says, that a great place to start would be to get a coach, please go to The1Thing.com/training. You'll see an option there for ONE Thing coaching.
