“What’s the ONE Thing you can do this week such that by doing it everything else would be easier or unnecessary?”
Where I’d had huge success, I had narrowed my concentration to one thing, and where my success varied, my focus had too.
When you want the absolute best chance to succeed at
anything you want, your approach should always be the same. Go
small.
“Going small” is ignoring all the things you could do and
doing what you should do. It’s recognizing that not all things
matter equally and finding the things that matter most. It’s a tighter
way to connect what you do with what you want. It’s realizing that
extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you
can make your focus.
GETTING EXTRAORDINARY RESULTS
So when you think about success, shoot for the moon. The moon
is reachable if you prioritize everything and put all of your energy
into accomplishing the most important thing. Getting extraordinary
results is all about creating a domino effect in your life.
Toppling dominoes is pretty straightforward. You line them
up and tip over the first one. In the real world, though, it’s a bit
more complicated. The challenge is that life doesn’t line everything
up for us and say, “Here’s where you should start.” Highly
successful people know this. So every day they line up their
priorities anew, find the lead domino, and whack away at it until it
falls.
Success is built sequentially. It’s one
thing at a time.
