The ONE Thing

Over five years went into researching and writing The ONE Thing, and one of the things we discovered was that, on average, it takes 66 days to form a habit. That means you can form up to five life-changing power habits every year... but how many power habits have you acquired over even the past five years? Most of us haven't formed very many, and that's okay. Today you have the opportunity to intentionally decide which habits you will form, and narrow your focus to the ONE you want to acquire first. The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: We hope you'll celebrate episode 66 with us by picking just ONE of the three power habits we described and starting your own 66 Day Challenge.

Many of the members of our Living Your ONE Thing community have asked the same question: How do I discover my purpose? So many people asked us that we decided to sit down with Brian Schoenbaum, Founder & CEO of Vuka Collective, to create an exclusive training video for the ONE thing community. We talked to Brian because he operates on another level and a single purpose drives everything he does: helping people wake up in their personal and professional lives. We're sharing the audio from that training here because we want you to understand what we're doing for members of our community and consider if it is a good fit for you. If it is, you can go to the1thing.com/membership and try your first week for only $1. The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Jay Papasan once said, "The path to discovering your purpose begins with getting on the path." Finding your purpose is not a result of following certain steps in order. It is about pausing and finding the space to ask questions: When I walk into a room, what is the positive energy that other people experience? What is my unique genius in the world? How can I be bold? If you want to enlist support and get more training like this, you can join the Living Your ONE Thing community by going to the1thing.com/membership and signing up for a $1 trial. In this episode you will learn... [11:15] Why going on a journey to discover your purpose is so important (and what the payoff is).

We've heard a lot of you reach out and ask a simple question: How do I find a mentor?

Why do we all get stuck at some point in our lives? If you are listening to this podcast, it's because you want MORE out of life. You want to achieve greatness... but, too often, we get stuck along the way. Lolly Daskal, the author of The Leadership Gap, believes we get trapped in the gap when we ask the wrong questions. Before you consider how to achieve your goals, or why you have those goals, ask yourself a different question: Who am I? The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Before you understand what to do or why you're doing it, at any given moment, you need to know who you are being. To do that, you need to look inward. Who are you being while you are living and leading? Are you proud of who you are? Are these the things you want to do? Check your gut. If you're not happy with what you feel, you can make a choice: keep doing the things that brought you into the gap or do something different. In this episode you will learn... [10:20] How you can leverage gaps to achieve greatness. [19:00] How to identify who you are (and how to be who you want to be).
