Do This One Thing, Get Huge Results | Book Club | 'The ONE Thing' by Gary Keller + Jay Papasan | 318
If you’ve ever felt busy all day but still gone to bed wondering why nothing really moved the needle, this episode is for you.
In this month’s Making Good Book Club, Charelle Griffith and I are talking about The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth About Extraordinary Results by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan—a book that delivers some much-needed tough love about focus, priorities, and why doing less is often the key to getting more results.
This conversation is especially meaningful because it’s also our final Book Club episode together after four years. We reflect on the book, the lessons that stuck with us, and what it really looks like to choose focus over doing everything.
If you’re overwhelmed, stretched too thin, or secretly hoping the answer isn’t “do more,” this episode might shift how you think about your time, your goals, and your business.
What’s included in this episode:
Why multitasking and “everything matters” thinking keeps small business owners stuck
The domino effect and how small focused actions create massive momentum
The one question that can instantly clarify what actually deserves your energy
Why willpower isn’t the solution—and what works better
And much moreAnd much more
