In this solo round by host Jackie Capers-Brown, she challenges listeners with the focusing question: What's the ONE thing I can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary? from the book: The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Success by real estate entrepreneur Gary Keller.

She discusses common reasons why we can't answer this question and what she discovered about herself when she wasn't able to answer it when she first read the book.

Because of the pause granted to most of us by COVID-19 that resulted in us changing how we work and the kind of work that we do, she felt this moment was an ideal time to revisit the question and get clear about her answer.

In this episode, she shares what her ONE thing will be moving forward and how it has inspired her to launch the Go Be Great Movement and the Go Be Great Virtual Workshop.

She encourages listeners to be the hero in their story in order to step into the driver's seat of their life to define the direction they take moving forward.

She motivates listeners to believe in their innate greatness and begin to take action towards improving their lives and the lives of others.
