In episode 47 of Fresh Tracks I speak with author and business
owner Jay Papasan about the ONE Thing: the surprising simple truth
behind extraordinary results. Jay poses this question for us ask
ourselves: What’s the one thing I can do, such that by doing it,
everything else will be easier or unnecessary? By focusing on your
ONE thing, you can accomplish more by doing less. Jay shares why
discovering this surprisingly simple truth is the difference
between achieving extraordinary results vs consistent struggle and
shares how to implement these truths in your life.
The results you get are directly influenced by the way you work and
the choices you make. In this week’s show Jay provides tips for
both discovering your ONE thing and the pitfalls to avoid when we
have a lot to do, recognizing that the distractions we face each
day are unlimited! Jay shares personal stories of how he and his
wife built their multimillion-dollar real estate business while
raising their two kids, and kept their priorities of family first
through the growth stages of their business to today.
