The ONE Thing

The ONE Thing

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.

The Domino Effect

The Domino Effect

Getting extraordinary results is all about creating a domino effect in your life.

Everything Matters Equally

Everything Matters Equally

When everything feels urgent and important, everything seems equal. We become active and busy, but this doesn’t actually move us any closer to success. Activity is often unrelated to productivity, and busyness rarely takes care of business.

Instead of a to-do list, focus on a success list—a list that is purposefully created around extraordinary results.

Multitasking

Multitasking

When you try to do two things at once, you either can’t or won’t do either well.

Every time you try to do two or more things at once, you’re simply dividing up our focus and dumbing down all of the outcomes in the process.

Researchers estimate we lose 28 percent of an average workday to multitasking ineffectiveness.

A Disciplined Life

A Disciplined Life

You can become successful with less discipline than you think, for one simple reason: success is about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right.

It takes an average of 66 days to acquire a new habit.

Those with the right habits seem to do better than others. They’re doing the most important thing regularly and, as a result, everything else is easier.

Live with Purpose

Live with Purpose

Our purpose sets our priority and our priority determines the productivity our actions produce.

To be financially wealthy you must have a purpose for your life. In other words, without purpose, you’ll never know when you have enough money, and you can never be financially wealthy.

Happiness happens when you have a bigger purpose than having more fulfills, which is why we say happiness happens on the way to fulfillment.
