227. Dave Hollis | How to Get Out of Your Own Way

Are you the goal setter in your relationship?Over the past few years, we’ve noticed a common challenge at our Couples Goal Setting Retreats: in most relationships, one person is a goal setter and the other is not, one person is open to trying anything and the other is a skeptic.There’s nothing wrong with healthy skepticism, but it’s also important to examine how your natural state can influence your ability — and your partner’s ability — to grow. So, with this natural divide in almost every relationship, how can a couple grow together? Dave Hollis, author of the upcoming Get Out of Your Own Way: A Skeptic's Guide to Growth and Fulfillment and co-host of RISE Together, shares what happened when his partner (past guest Rachel Hollis) started her personal growth journey. While she gained personal momentum, he felt unfulfilled and overcome with fear — and until he confronted the fact that who he was getting further and further away from who he wanted to be, he was stuck. Listen to learn how Dave got out of his own way, and how you can too.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/podcast.We recorded this conversation as part of our monthly ONE Thing webinar series.

223. Habits & Sobriety | with Grace Vroom

If you want to change your life, you have to get honest with yourself.What’s working? What isn’t working? Who’s bringing you forward and who’s bringing you back? Candid self-reflection can reveal things you wish weren’t there, but knowing what you’re dealing with makes big change possible.Our guest, Grace Vroom, knew something had to give; there were countless areas of her life that she wanted to improve, but it was only after getting honest about her addiction to alcohol that she started to make any progress.

220. How to Use The ONE Thing in Sales

What does it look like to see The ONE Thing become part of the culture of an organization?The answer is different depending on what your organization looks like, but there’s one place where it always makes sense — sales! When salespeople are clear on their priorities, form habits around the activities that truly drive results, get clear on what they’re saying yes to, and learn how to say no to all of their distractions, it drives the overall revenue of the business and makes everything else easier or unnecessary. But what does it really look like to live The ONE Thing as a salesperson? To answer that question, we sit down with Jonathan Farber, who was able to use the principles of The ONE Thing to create models and systems that have had a transformative effect on his time and his organization’s revenue.If you want to put some of Jonathan’s lessons into action, check out our free Start Using Your 411 training course. And if you’re looking for some more robust training, you will want to try the Get Results With Your 411 foundational course, which will also show you how to introduce the 411 to your team.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/podcast.In this episode, you will learn...-[6:00] What Jonathan’s day-to-day looked like before and after implementing The ONE Thing-[23:35] How you can convert your results into activities-[31:00] How you can introduce The ONE Thing to your team.Links & Tools From This Episode-Start Using Your 411-Join the Living Your ONE Thing Community before Dec 31, 2019, to join over 1,000 like-minded people on an exclusive member's only 66-Day Challenge®. Mentioned in this episode:Factor 75Head to FactorMeals.com/one50 and use code one50 to get 50% off.

219. How to Become the Leader you Would Follow | Scott Miller – FranklinCovey

What is the purpose of a goal?Most of us are taught that the purpose of a goal is to achieve a certain result. But Gary Keller says that the purpose of a goal is to be appropriate in the moment; a guiding light that will give you clarity on whether the actions you’re taking today are appropriate for the goals you want to achieve in the long run.That clarity is part of what makes a leader someone who you will want to follow, and every one of us is a leader, whether you have someone who reports to you or not.

Because there are a number of simple things you can do, starting immediately, that will truly transform the depth of the relationships that you have — if you take consistent action over the next year.
