The ONE Thing

We don't just want to pump you up with this podcast – we want to ask the tough questions so that you can look in the mirror and be more accountable for your results. We think this is why people who live The ONE Thing achieve so much.   Today we're sharing a conversation with one of you, Kathy Ver Eecke, who was taking massive action and getting things done... until life got in the way. If you...

The beginning of a new year is a perfect time to look at your business and your life and ask yourself a simple question: what do I want to do differently?   Building momentum begins with a good strategy, so we want to pull the curtain back and share how we planned our year, and the specific things that we're going to do differently this year so that we can achieve extraordinary results. &nbsp...

If you are hitting a ceiling of achievement in your life, then you are missing a person – either in the form of a mentor or leverage.   Today we are focusing on the leverage side; the people who can take things off of your plate so that you can focus on the 20% work that will allow you to achieve extraordinary results.   In episode 50, we talked to today's guest, Gene Rivers, about...

When were you taught how to set and achieve your goals?   Most of us were never taught this valuable life skill in school, but it's not too late to learn now.   In this episode, New York Times Bestselling Author Michael Hyatt joins us to share his new book, which will help you make 2018 Your Best Year Ever.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: What is the one thing...

Do you want to make a positive change in your health in 2018?   We all set goals, but it takes proper planning and tools to implement them successfully.   And there's no better person to teach us about healthy habits than returning guest Tom Bilyeu, CEO of Impact Theory & Co-Founder of Quest Nutrition. He knows how to equip himself with incredible power habits that allow him to achie...

We love to share stories about how people just like you are living the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results, whether those people are business owners, employees, parents, or, in this case, educators.   Jethro Jones is a high school principal and the host of the Transformative Principal podcast. He conducted an incredible interview with Geoff, and we immediately knew it was s...

Do you ever feel purposeless?   We know finding clarity and purpose is difficult, so we're approaching it from a different angle today: how you can develop the courageous mindset you need to develop purpose, because we believe that anyone can have world-class purpose.   Sheryl Kline is an author, speaker, and coach who trains high-performance athletes in Mental Toughness. She shares the...

If you want to live an extraordinary life, you have to master something – but it only has to be ONE thing.   For many of us, mastering the ability to communicate with other people, or connect with others, is the ONE thing that will make everything else easier or unnecessary.   Today, we sit down with someone who has mastered the art of asking great questions: Susan Scott, the author of F...

Many of you have asked us the same question: How do I teach the principles from The ONE Thing to my kids?   We want to teach our kids how to focus, set goals, and think so that they can get what they need when they need it, but this stuff isn't taught in schools... or is it?   Laura Sandefer and her husband co-founded The Acton Academy. This is the school that Jay Papasan sends his kids...

We're always on our own road to mastery, trying to figure out how we can serve you better. So, anytime someone leaves the Living Your ONE Thing community, we make it a point to ask them a few questions.   Today we're sharing one of those conversations, a chat with Kerri Mees, because it is so powerful. We've come to realize that accountability starts by looking in the mirror, and no podcast o...

If you've been following us since the beginning, you may have noticed that many of our guests are not big names.   Most of the time, we're interviewing people just like you: real people who are living The ONE Thing and getting results. We share these episodes because we want you to know what's possible when you take action.   Today we're sharing a case study of someone who joined our imp...

Can you imagine transforming your health, business, income, finances, and marriage by doing just ONE simple thing?   Today we are going to hear a story from one of you, who dared to do what so many do not: when they finished listening to an episode of this podcast, they took action.   Adam Bordes thought BIG regarding his vision and then got clarity on the ONE action he needed to make ev...

Building a lasting legacy requires learning how to succeed through others, but before you can do that, you have to show up as a leader.   We have been looking at how to develop our own leadership skills, and what we've learned from today's guest, Jocko Willink, has blown our minds – so we want to share it with you.   Jocko is the author of Extreme Ownership and a retired United States Na...

Everyone has at least one person who truly matters to them... and many of us are doing ONE thing that is harming that relationship.   In The ONE Thing, Gary and Jay lay out the seven most important areas of your life: spirituality, physical health, personal, relationships, job, business, and finances. We often set goals around our jobs, businesses, and finances... but those are rubber balls,...

Do you wake up every single day intentionally adding value to specific relationships?   Too many of us take our relationships for granted, and we aren't approaching our relationships with a strategy – but nurturing the relationships that matter most is an under-appreciated and transformative power habit.   Steve Sims has built a legacy out of forming relationships at a very high level. H...

When Hurricane Harvey devastated southern Texas, we at Keller Williams canceled a national convention so we could focus on relief efforts.   We auctioned off the guest seat for an episode of the show, and Craig Goodliffe earned it with a very generous donation – but this conversation ended up being extremely valuable because Craig has been living The ONE Thing for years.   Craig shares h...

Most people are currently wasting at least 20% of their time – but you can take that time back, in less than 30 days.   Marc King is a regional director and coach within Keller Williams, which gives him a unique perspective when it comes to controlling our time. With his help, we created this training on overcoming some of the biggest challenges you have with your time and the easy way you ca...

Ray's insight goes much deeper t...

We know that you're a high achiever. We know that you want to have a thriving career and a vibrant personal life – and you want to leave a legacy that will last.   However, so many of us are focused on the wrong thing – being "successful" – and the actions we are taking today are leading us down the wrong path. We're struggling too, and we're committed to figuring it out so that we can serve...

We recently spoke to a few members of the Keller-Williams family, and the response touched our heart – so many people said this is just what they needed to hear, so we want to share that conversation with you, too..   We will be covering many of these topics, in much greater detail, during our first live event: What: The ONE Thing Goal-Setting Retreat When: November 30th, 2017 - December 1st,...

This episode is dedicated to you, and we want to thank you for taking this journey with us.   Like you, we're on a journey to live our ONE Thing, every day. Gary Keller laid everything out for us, but living Your ONE Thing isn't as easy as reading a book; it's a lifelong pursuit of personal mastery.   So today we're getting vulnerable about our own journey. Former guest and ONE Thing Tra...

So many people trying to grow a successful business create a product, try to sell it, and then focus on scaling... but they're making a massive mistake.   We made this same mistake in our business, too, for at least a year. Then we heard about the book Hacking Growth, and it changed the way we thought about marketing.   Sean Ellis is the author of Hacking Growth, and he was responsible f...

How do you justify inaction? Most of us have read a book or listened to a podcast, been inspired, and then done nothing... but inaction doesn't produce extraordinary results. This episode is our wake up call. Jason Rule is one of you: a fan of the book and a fan of the podcast, but he has endured something that, hopefully, most of us will never have to experience. He shares how The ONE Thing helpe...

Are you satisfied with your current results?   If you are not satisfied with your current results, and you want more, this episode is for you. Geoff Woods breaks down the three things that most people let control their time (and use as an excuse when they're not holding themselves accountable).   Join us for our first live event: What: The ONE Thing Goal-Setting Retreat When: November 30...
