The ONE Thing

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.

When you start a new relationship, do you show up looking to give or get? Many entrepreneurs show up trying to leverage every situation, but we only start receiving the most value when we start offering it. Superconnectors are the people who create value by making connections for other people because, in every interaction and new relationship, they show up looking to give, not get.

Scott Gerber started the Young Entrepreneurs Council, founded The Community Company, and wrote the book Superconnector. In this episode, he shares how you can transform your mindset, be more meaningful and purposeful in every interaction, and start building relationships that really matter.

We all know the importance of setting goals. We have to know where we're headed and what we want to achieve in order to get there, right? 

The problem is that most people don’t know the best strategy for setting their goals. It seems obvious that our goals should be realistic, right? Wrong. It may seem counterintuitive, but, in reality, your goals should be wildly unrealistic. Reach for the stars. 

Another problem is the company we keep. Most of us surround ourselves with relationships and circumstance. But we should be striving to discover and bring specific people with specific qualities into our lives based on where we are at that point in time.

If none of this makes sense as a way to find your ONE Thing, then listen to today’s episode and learn. 

And if you’re still looking for help with setting your goals, be sure to check out our upcoming Goal Setting Retreat, where you can join us to learn the specific tools to know exactly how to set the right goals and how to do it the right way. Find out more by heading to the1thing.com/setmygoals.

In this episode, you will learn...

• [20:40] The power of time blocking to find your ONE Thing
