Our perceptions of work and life have changed significantly over the past year. While we once had a clear distinction between the two, now, we have a blurred line barely separating them. For some, this has made their life more hectic, and for others, more clear. It’s now more important than ever to define where we’re going and why we’re going in that direction.

Joining David today is Mindy Jensen, host of the BiggerPockets Money Podcast, and Geoff Woods, host The ONE Thing Podcast. Many guests on the show have mentioned The ONE Thing for its simple, yet impactful message for team leaders and solopreneurs who have too much on their plates. Geoff has taken the message of this book and his organization to heart, allowing him to free up time, and live a truly extraordinary life.

Geoff unpacks exactly what it means to have intentional goals and live with purpose. He is very specific on defining what truly matters to your business, personal life, and internal values, and separates those things from the rest. Geoff also brings on Jordan and John, two business partners, one of which attended The ONE Thing Retreat last year, and talks them through their long-term vision, goal, and strategy.

In This Episode We Cover:

The importance of striving to live an extraordinary life in all aspects

How to become more purposeful in the areas of life that truly matter

Working through goal setting in partnerships, relationships, or solo

Why most people don’t reach their goals or set too attainable goals

Permitting yourself to dream big for a five, ten, or twenty-year vision

What you can expect at The ONE Thing’s 2021 Retreat

Why the purpose of a goal isn’t the result, but something far more meaningful

And So Much More!
