Have you ever marveled at the intricate details that make a brand or service extraordinary, leaving you eagerly awaiting your next interaction with them? If so, you're in the right place. Today, we have a uniquely special episode lined up for you. We are privileged to have co-author of The ONE Thing book, Jay Papasan, interviewing the renowned Will Guidara, acclaimed for his role in running some of the world's top-notch restaurants. Guidara generously shares insights from his book "Unreasonable Hospitality," and we couldn't be more thrilled about this riveting conversation. What makes this discussion particularly captivating is Guidara's definition of being "unreasonable" - an unyielding drive towards excellence. In the realm of hospitality, he asserts that this pursuit becomes the very DNA and the quintessential part of the product offered by exceptional companies. This quest for perfection is what fuels people's purpose. At The ONE Thing, we firmly believe that purpose guides priority. When your purpose is clear, you instinctively know what to say yes to as an individual or a business, enabling you to be productive and inch closer to your set goals over time. No matter the industry you're part of, or the goals you're striving to accomplish, this enlightening conversation offers valuable insights that can help you become "unreasonable" in the pursuit of your product excellence and goal achievement.

In this greatest hits episode, we’re revisiting one of our favorite episodes where Dan Sullivan shares how you can stop living in the gap between where you are and where you want to be – and start living in the happiness you cultivate by recognizing your daily gains of progress. Have you ever set goals that you thought would deliver you pure happiness once you achieved them – just to work hard, achieve them, and move on to the next without giving yourself a chance to feel fulfilled or celebrated? We all have and it’s something we should work out of our productivity-laden routines. How might we create more sustainable happiness on our road to achievement? Dan Sullivan has been working with business owners for decades under the program, The Strategic Coach, and was one of the pioneers of the coaching industry. We have a conversation around what it means to shift your perspective so you get out of the gap of dissatisfaction and live in the gain – where happiness lives. We’re always looking forward to the next goal, but we don’t give ourselves the chance to celebrate the successes we’ve had. This is common among ambitious people. The problem with this is that it undermines our happiness in the long run. Backed by his world-class expertise and experience in the field, Dan helps us lay the groundwork for this profound shift toward fulfilment. Do you have an opportunity to shift more toward the gain? If you’re like most ambitious people, the answer is yes. What’s The ONE Thing you can do, such that by doing it, would make living in the gain easier or unnecessary?

At last year’s Goal Setting Retreat, Gary Keller said this: “If you have big goals and you haven’t achieved them yet, there are only two reasons that you’re where you are instead of where you want to be: it’s either the actions you took or the relationships you have.” And he’s right. Think about the habits, the choices, and the relationships that got you to where you are today. Now think about what you may be missing in order to achieve growth and pursue bigger goals.

Goals are important when it comes to building wealth. And as we always say it’s crucial to form a relationship with your goals, it’s equally important that you form a relationship with your finances. Financial intimacy is a combination of emotional and intellectual intimacy, which allows people to separate facts from feelings when it comes to money and create a safe space for them to reframe and heal the challenges that impact their behavior. Financial intelligence is also important in understanding what actions to take and what order in which to do so. Hannah Koenig is a wealth business and leadership mentor for entrepreneurs, CEO, transformational facilitator, and speaker on the Forbes Coaches Council. Her mission is to close the wealth gap and help everyday leaders to be well-resourced. In 2017, she made the decision to learn everything there is to know about finances and wealth building. This was a difficult but empowering shift, allowing her to purchase a home and build a multiple six-figure business. Hannah encourages people to take away from this conversation the idea that they have immense financial power and that they can choose what they want in terms of financial success.

To go far—in business or in life—you have to lean on the knowledge and experience of those who’ve been where you want to go. That’s what mentorship is all about. Easier said than done, though. People are busy—especially successful ones. But what if we told you that you can find all the mentors you need without them even knowing who you are? Scott Jeffrey Miller is a speaker, author, and podcast host with over 25 years in the leadership development industry. His new book Master Mentors Volume 2 is a compilation of thirty transformative insights from the greatest minds he’s had the honor to interview on his podcast. He’s learned not only what great mentors have to teach, but also how to put their insights into practice with what he calls “informal mentorship.” We discuss the ins and outs of mentorship, how to find the right mentor for you, and how you can be a mentor to others. If you’re looking for some mentorship of your own, Master Mentors Volume 2 is a great place to start.

When you’re setting big, audacious goals, you first need to ask yourself some big questions: What do you want out of life? How will you make an impact on the world? Seth Goldenberg is the author of Radical Curiosity, where he shares a practice that he believes will lead to incredible transformations in your life. The problem is that most of us have been taught to stop being curious. To stop asking questions, and to just do what’s expected. But you can’t live an outstanding life while doing things the way they’ve always been done. We have an interesting conversation about what it means to be curious, how to ask big questions, and how those questions can inform the direction and impact of your business.

There’s a common phrase that gets thrown around when it comes to teamwork: “There’s no ‘I’ in ‘Team.’” But every team is made up of individuals—when we lose sight of that, the whole team suffers. Teams need to be able to work together as a whole, but we can’t forget to address the individual influences and strengths that each person brings to the team. And each team, or even the entire company, can be viewed as a single “individual.” That’s the thesis that Brian and Mary Smith put forth. Brian is the founder and senior managing partner of IA Business Advisors, a management consulting firm that has worked with more than 18 thousand CEOs, entrepreneurs, managers, and employees worldwide. Together with his daughter Mary, they’ve authored the book Individual Influence: Find the “I” in Team. We have a conversation about positive influence and making a difference in your organization and the people around you. If you want to learn how to improve and manage your influence, pick up Individual Influence. To learn more, and for the complete show notes, visit: the1thing.com/pods.

What if you could free up 30 hours in your work—all while helping your business reach new revenue heights? Many entrepreneurs know what it’s like to feel constantly busy, putting out fires, and only able to work on the things directly in front of them rather than the work that matters most. Richard Shaull is the co-founder and CEO of Unleashed, where he helps entrepreneurs focus on finding a 2nd-In-Command to take that busy work off their plate and allow them to get to that incredibly important work. They believe that every great visionary needs a great operations counterpart and that by pairing the right people you can unleash their full potential. We discuss why every CEO needs a great 2nd-In-Command, how to find the right person for you, and how to identify if you might make a good 2nd-In-Command yourself.

You can’t build a business on your own. And as you grow, the people who helped you build may no longer be a good fit for their role—or for the growth and direction of the company. So how do you handle these employees? And how do you hire for the future? Kurt Wilkin is the co-founder of Hire Better, an award-winning agency based in Austin, Texas, and the author of Who's Your Mike?: A No-Bullshit Guide to the People You'll Meet on Your Entrepreneurial Journey.

One of the four thieves of productivity is the inability to say ‘no.’ Whether it’s a deeply-rooted habit, a desire to avoid disappointing others, or the (often false) belief that saying ‘yes’ will make you look good as an employee, this is a trap that is too easy to fall for. But saying ‘yes’ to too many things can easily push out your own priorities. Linda Babcock and Brenda Peyser are the authors of “The No Club: Putting a Stop to Women’s Dead-End Work.” They are going to share how everyone, women in particular, can get comfortable with saying ‘no’ to the work that doesn’t push their career forward while still ensuring that important work gets done.

Climbing Mt. Everest. To some it seems impossible—and yet many have managed this amazing feat of human endurance. What is it that gives someone the drive to achieve the unimaginable?

We all need a little vacation once in a while. But if that’s the case—and it is!—why do we often find it so hard to make time for those getaways? Many of us are afraid of what will happen if we stop working that we don’t allow ourselves to take the time off we need to rest and recharge. And if we do manage to take that time, we don’t unplug enough to really fulfill the goal of the vacation in the first place. Brooke Layman is going to break down why taking vacation time is so important, and more importantly, how you can protect your time to take that vacation and get the most out of it.

It’s the time of year when individuals or organizations look at the goals they set for themselves and wonder whether they set the right goals or if the strategies they implemented to achieve them are falling short. A goal should stretch you, which means you may not have absolute clarity on how to achieve it when you start the year. You may want to stick with that goal and challenge yourself to find new ways to achieve it. Yet as the year goes on you’ll learn more about yourself, or perhaps life circumstances will change—we’re all familiar with that over the past few years. So when is it okay to make adjustments to our goals? We’re going to discuss what to do when your goal no longer feels achievable, or how to move forward when circumstances change. We’ll also talk about when it may be time to reexamine your goals and make some adjustments to be more in line with your current circumstances. If you’re interested in setting up some accountability within your relationship, we are hosting our annual Couples Goal Setting Retreat to get aligned on what success looks like and how to keep each other on track towards achieving them.
