The ONE Thing

Where are you on the journey of TIME?We start by treading to keep our heads above water. Then we start implementing some of the systems, followed by eventually mastering those systems. And towards the end of the journey, eventually, we will all want to turn around to empower others — especially our family.Today, we are going to meet a couple, Brock and Angie Nyborg, who were introduced to The ONE Thing just over a year ago. We really respect that they didn’t just consume the content, but backed it with action — and in this episode, you’re going to hear how they’re life and family have changed over the past year.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/podcast.In this episode, you will learn...

The ONE Thing is about the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results — but anyone who has tried knows that simple doesn’t mean easy.Life throws us curveballs. We lose clarity on what The ONE Thing is. We struggle to protect our time blocks when life happens. We are taking on more and looking for higher levels of achievement, but the models and systems we have in place are being stressed. How, in those moments, can we get back on track?Today, our guest is Chris Hofmann, who is a member of our Living Your ONE Thing Community. He was well on his way to building a career as a successful executive, counterbalancing that with a great family life, when his world was turned upside down by a series of strokes. Before he knew it, simple tasks were no longer so simple — but he used The ONE Thing to put his life back together.If you want to join Chris in the Living Your ONE Thing Community, you can try it for FREE for two weeks at the1thing.com/community.In this episode, you will learn...

Do you feel overwhelmed?We live in a fast-paced world with a lot of expectations, and as a result, it’s easy to fall into the trap of overwhelm — and as we all know, it’s extremely easy to fall off the wagon and stop living the principles of The ONE Thing when life happens.But our guest, Tiffany Cavegn, shows us that you can keep living Your ONE Thing even when everything is falling apart around you, if you know how to leverage support.

Have you ever found that the principles we discuss in this show and in the book sound easy – but then, in practice, end up being really difficult to make a consistent part of your life?We get it, and we know that stumbling along the journey to living Your ONE Thing can feel isolating. That’s why our #1 priority this year has been nurturing the Living Your ONE Thing community that supports people who need more accountability; who need support when they feel lost or alone.Each month, the community comes together for a live coaching call and discuss how we can be more intentional in living the tools and bring a higher level of accountability into our lives.

What does it mean to have accountability in your life?Because there are different levels of accountability. We can hold ourselves accountable by using tools like a 411, 66-Day Challenge, or The ONE Thing Planner. We can bring accountability into our world by recruiting an accountability partner. Then, when we want the highest level of accountability possible, we have to look to an expert – to a coach.A lot of people ask us what it means to have a coach, how to know if it’s the right fit, and how to get the most out of that relationship. So, today, we sit down to learn the answers to those questions from Charlotte Savoy, who both embodies accountability in her businesses and coaches other people on The ONE Thing through MAPS Business Coaching.If you think this sounds like a good fit for you, you can learn more about our Get a ONE Thing Coach, Become a ONE Thing Coach, or Living Your ONE Thing Community.In this episode, you will learn...

Imagine you are on an airplane and, along the way, it starts to deviate just a few degrees off course – if the plane does not correct course over the length of that flight, do you think you’ll end up in the right destination?Probably not, and who knows where we would end up! But this is the way that most people live their lives – they wake up, take action, and move forward, but they’re not always clear on exactly where they’re going or why they’re going there. And when they’re off course, they’re not even aware of it, which is why so many people live a life by default instead of a life by design.So, today, we want to introduce you to Dr. Cindy McGovern, who has been living the principles of The ONE Thing to ensure that she has a great career, and you will hear how purpose and planning were fundamental to living her mission: changing the way that people view sales.To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/podcast.In this episode, you will learn...
