The ONE Thing

9. The BIG mistake we made (that you may be making right now)


Listen Later

What do you want people to remember you for? What is your legacy? If you want to create a lasting legacy, every action you take needs to reflect your values. We were playing the short-term game to grow revenue, but we needed to focus on our core values – our ONE thing. There’s a price attached to our values, but there’s also a reward when we stick to them. Jay Papasan, co-author of The ONE Thing, is back to explain how he knew we were making a mistake and to teach you how we corrected course.

In this episode you will learn...

  • [0:50] Why your values aren’t really your values unless they cost you something.
  • [1:38] The BIG Mistake we made (that you may be making right now).
  • [2:20] Why the best businesses have a mission and a clear purpose.
  • [8:30] AH-HA Moment: We need to come from a place of value. Your trust is worth infinitely more than your money.
  • [9:34] Why negative interactions can help you identify problems and solve them.
  • [13:04] Clarity matters. Getting clear about your values is a foundational idea that people don’t give enough focus.
  • [14:05] Why there’s no reason to repeat other people’s mistakes.

  • The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode:

    Identify what you want your legacy to be. What do you want people to say you stood for? Then reflect on how you are showing up in the world on a daily basis… Do you need to make any adjustments?
