57. Your Path to Purpose with Brian Schoenbaum Jul 20, 2017

Show notes

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).
[19:40] How you can begin to take action on discovering your purpose.
[23:55] How to reveal (and leverage) your unique genius.

56. Unleashing a Domino Effect in Your Life with John White Jul 17, 2017

Show notes

Do you believe that thinking big and acting small, every day, will create extraordinary results? We've found that many people who try to live The ONE Thing don't trust The Domino Effect. We can cast a big vision for our life, but we often struggle to take daily action. This episode is a case study examining how, over four years, someone like you identified a specific daily action that made everything else easier or unnecessary, started living a big life, and toppled some huge dominoes.

Trust in the power of The Domino Effect. What's the ONE thing you can do that will make everything else easier or unnecessary? When you look at all of the areas of your life, what's the ONE area you need to focus on first? Apply the focusing question until you identify a specific, measurable action that will make everything else easier or unnecessary – for John, it was as simple as setting a recurring alarm clock. If you'd like us to be your accountability partner in getting results and your mentor in living your ONE thing, then text the word “FOUNDER” to the number 33444 or go to the1thing.com/membership.

In this episode you will learn...

[4:40] What most people struggle with when they start trying to live The ONE Thing.
[10:50] The ONE thing to take away from the book that will help you knock over your lead domino.
[13:20] How you can leverage simplicity to grow your business.

50. Work-Life Balance: It Starts With Your Mindset - with Gene Rivers Jun 26, 2017

Show notes

Are you spending too much time working in pursuit of freedom? We can't work more hours in the day and have a more flexible lifestyle – something else has to change. Today's guest, Gene Rivers, understands how anyone can achieve the work-life balance they deserve. He and his wife run nine successful businesses while still finding time to vacation four months out of the year and devote time to their family every day. In this episode, Gene will teach you how you can get anything you want if you're intentional with your time and willing to focus on the most important work.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

If you aren't where you want to be, or have hit a ceiling, you need accountability. Who is the mentor, coach, or consultant that you can go to for help? If you don't have someone, seek them out. Wanting to change won't make you change – someone holding you accountable to change might.

[4:40] How you can create your ideal life with this ONE mindset shift.
[8:30] Why you always need to be intentional with your time (and what it sounds like to have completely focused mindset).

49. How to Find a Mentor & Improve Your Networking In Business Jun 22, 2017

Show notes

We've heard a lot of you reach out and ask a simple question: How do I find a mentor? Most of us realize that we can live a richer life by upgrading the five people we spend the most time with, but first, we need guidance from people who have already achieved what we want to achieve. We were honored to have Geoff Woods featured on the Access to Anyone podcast with Michael Schein & Michael Roderick, and the episode was so valuable that we wanted to share it with you. This conversation will help you build real relationships, improve your networking, and find a mentor that will help you achieve more.

The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

Today, in just one interaction, approach someone with the intention of being more interested in them than trying to get them to think you're interesting. Can you approach them with a sincere and genuine curiosity about where they need help, and if you can help them? You may be surprised by the reaction.

In this episode you will learn...

[5:50] How you can build better relationships with ONE simple lesson.
[9:10] Why high achievers give without expecting anything in return.
[16:00] How you can make an appealing ask and avoid taking from potential mentors.
