The ONE Thing

335. Don’t Let Doubt Stop You From Achieving Your Goals | April Spilde


Listen Later

We all know what it’s like to have big goals accompanied by a sense of self-doubt. We might want to achieve incredible, ambitious goals – and, even better, we might be able to do it. Even, and especially, when we know it’s something we can achieve if we set our mind to it, there’s this little voice in the back of our minds telling us the task is insurmountable. 

This week, we talk to April Splide, who’s had a very successful career in The Air Force, about how she was able to take ONE Thing principles and use them to overcome these feelings in herself on the way to competing in Ironman Triathlons. 

When she first decided she wanted to compete, the idea seemed completely beyond anything realistic to her. By following a 4 1 1, she was able to make her dreams a reality. We break down the many tens of thousands of steps, laps, and miles, on her journey, and how you, too, can apply the ONE Thing in your life to achieve whatever you set your mind to. 

If you’d like to see what a 4 1 1 looks like for yourself, take a look at the free resources section on the1thing.com, where you’ll find countless examples, templates and tools to help you on your journey.
