The ONE Thing

339. Create Lasting Love ONE Conversation at a Time with Susan Scott


Listen Later

Do you know your Seven Circles? In life, there are seven key areas that deserve our focus and attention: Our spiritual life, our physical health, our personal life, our key relationships, our job, our business, and our finances.

If you’re listening to this show, you probably naturally focus on your job, your business, and your finances. The problem is, those three areas are like rubber balls. If you drop them, they bounce back. The other four areas are more like glass balls. If you drop them, they can be scuffed, cracked, or shattered completely.

In this episode, we focus in on one of those areas, key relationships. The truth is, we can naturally give our professional life so much attention that we don’t show up purposefully in the relationships that matter most to us. Susan Scott is the author of Fierce Conversations, which we’ve highlighted in the past. Her newest book, Fierce Love, takes those principles and applies them to your romantic relationships. 

Among many other things, she teaches us that relationships fail gradually, and then suddenly. This is an important conversation for all of us.

We hope that this helps you begin to have the conversations you’ve been meaning to with the people in your life that matter most. Identify The ONE Thing you can do, such that by doing it, everything else becomes easier or unnecessary. That could be picking up the book, Fierce Love, or having that first conversation. Whatever it is, the important thing is that you act on it and turn this time spent into an investment.
