Jay Papasan is the author of one of the two books that I can honestly say has changed my life and that is The One Thing (the other is Tony Robbins – Awaken the Giant Within if you were wondering).
The concept is simple, when you’re not sure what you should be doing ask yourself this one, focusing question – What’s the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?
For me that is simply to increase the number of listeners of the podcast. With enough listeners I don’t have to worry about money, securing great guests or the impact I’m having on the industry.
Not sure what your One Thing is? Then you have to check out today’s episode.
