When we think about the relationships we have — whether that be in our professional world or our personal lives — there is one thing that can determine the quality of those relationships: trust.When you have trust, so many things become possible. But without it, our ability to succeed is limited.David Horsager has dedicated his life to studying trust, and his life’s mission is helping people, organizations, and teams build it at higher levels. We talk about why trust is the lead domino to success in every area of your life, and he’s going to walk us through the steps we can take to build a stronger foundation of trust with the people who matter most.If you’d like to learn more about David and his trust research, consider joining our live conversation about his upcoming book at the1thing.com/monthlywebinar.In this episode, you will learn...

We are in the business of time, our most valuable resource.The problem is, most people go through their days spending their time… because they were never taught to invest it. Everything that we do here at The ONE Thing is to help you better invest your time so that you can see the ROI: achieving extraordinary results. How you invest your time varies depending on what you do professionally, and what that looks like changes dramatically when you go from being an employee to being an owner.When the leadership team of HomeTeam started using the principles of The ONE Thing, one of their biggest challenges was applying the principles and models of their business to a franchisee who may have never been a business owner before. When you have complete control over how you spend your time in your business, it’s critical that you make sure you are investing your time instead of spending it.If you would like to learn more about how we work with organizations, you can go to the1thing.com/training and visit our corporate section.In this episode, you will learn...

No one succeeds alone. In fact, our ideas and impact can multiply when we collaborate with the right people, at the right time, on the right ONE Thing.Last week, we shared about a new ONE Thing tool to help people discover their core values and live their purpose—the Core Values Deck. We’re going to dive into the story of how the idea for that deck became a collaboration in order to reach more people and make a bigger impact.Opportunities are everywhere, and with every new opportunity, you have to choose: do you say yes or no? And when you’re a leader, this choice affects everyone within your organization. But when everyone understands each others’ core values, you’ll be able to align your decision making with what matters most and multiply your efforts.When you understand someone’s core values, it can be a compass to predicting how successful you will be together and the scale of the impact you can have. If you want to learn more about the Core Values Deck, visit the1thing.com/corevalues.In this episode, you will learn...

In a world full of choices, deciding what matters most can be tricky. We know extraordinary success is about leaning into our priorities and avoiding distractions—but how do we know when to say yes and when to say no?Many people are searching for purpose. They want clarity on That ONE Thing so that they can make better decisions and have a direction for their life. But the truth is that clarifying your purpose is not always easy. Tapping into Your ONE Thing is a journey, not a lightning bolt.To help you navigate that journey, Jay Papasan talks about a new tool we’re developing here at The ONE Thing: The Core Values Deck. Jay has been a driver behind making this project a reality, and he shares how identifying your values can be a compass for your life and a tool to point you in the direction of your purpose.It’s incredible how much clarity three little words can bring, which is what makes this such a powerful exercise and tool.

Every year, millions of people create New Year’s resolutions around their financial goals. And every year, millions of people give up or just run out of steam.When it comes to money, creating goals can be a little daunting. The gap between where you are and where you want to be can feel overwhelming, even insurmountable.But Justin Donald shows us that achieving your financial goals is not impossible. Justin is a family man with a business, not the other way around. He set a goal in his early 20’s to stop trading hours for dollars and create the freedom to buy back his time however he chooses. He now has the ability to choose to invest in the relationships that he wants as his number-one priority — and he did it by building habits that brought him closer to his financial goal one step at a time.What are the habits that would make achieving your goals easier or unnecessary?

Everything we do here at The ONE Thing is about time. Specifically, helping you better invest your time so you can achieve extraordinary results.When you invest your money, you have an expectation of gaining a return on that investment. While this is a widely known expectation, most people don’t hold their time to the same standard. As we talk about living an extraordinary life, a lot of it comes down to not living a life of regret  — and one of the most common regrets we hear is that people spent too much time at work, at the expense of investing their time with the people they love.What would it look like if you put your family first? If you made your family your ONE Thing, and made your business come after? That’s what Jon Vroman did. He woke up every morning saying he was going to be the best dad in the world, but he realized his calendar wasn’t saying the same thing. Find out what it looked like to go on the journey to becoming a family man with a business and not a businessman with a family.Your core values can help point you in the right direction.

How important do you think habits are in your life?The way you show up in the world today is a reflection of the habits you have formed over a lifetime.

And they are for you as well. Gary is going to walk you through how he sets his big goals and how he identifies the ONE habit that, if he can put that in place, makes achieving that big goal easier or unnecessary.As you reflect on your goals this year, what’s the ONE habit that, if you formed it, would make achieving those big goals easier or unnecessary?

In “The ONE Thing,” Gary Keller and Jay Papasan write about the three commitments you must make if you want to live a life of extraordinary results: following the path of mastery, moving from being entrepreneurial to purposeful, and living the accountability cycle. Are you making those commitments?Brandon Turner, who you may know from the Bigger Pockets podcast, shows us what it looks like to live those commitments. This is a vulnerable take on how one person who is a big thinker and goal-setter has gone on a path of living those three commitments—with his significant other. You’ll hear how his identity has played a role in the achievement of his goals, the importance of having a relationship with your goals, what to do when things change, and how going small can help you go really big over the long run.The path to everything you want starts with ONE Thing at a time. For Brandon, that ONE Thing is building a purposeful approach to setting goals.
