Every year people set their goals and, without realizing it, they struggle to have a relationship with them.

Gary Keller says that the purpose of a goal is not to achieve a result but to appropriate being in the moment; it’s a compass to help you identify how you have to behave today so that you’re in alignment with where you want to go. But before we can find alignment, we have to have clarity on our core values.

Cathryn Lavery is the co-found of BestSelf Co., and she joined us at our goal-setting retreat last year with her fiance Emily Colman. By attending, not only did they figure out what their vision for their lives looked like together but they figured out what their core values were. And as it turned out, these values transformed their alignment in an unprecedented year.

If you are interested in setting your goals and want some help discovering your core values, you can visit the1thing.com/corevalues to pre-order our Core Values Deck. And if you would like to learn more about the goal setting retreat, visit the1thing.com/setmygoals.

If we want to look at the quality of our relationships, we have to look no further than the quality of the conversations that we have.

Here’s the problem: The everyday conversations with the people we care about are either strengthening our relationships or undermining them—and we’re not always aware of which because we’re failing so slowly we think we’re succeeding. When it comes to marriages, it can be catastrophic. With children it can lead to relationships full of regret. And with business it can lead to millions of dollars lost that could have been realized. So how do we fix it? How do we get clear on how we communicate with the people who matter most so that we build amazing relationships and build extraordinary lives?

Susan Scott of "Fierce Conversations" has been on the show before, and she’s going to help us answer those questions.

How do you succeed in health, your relationships, and with your money when there is so much uncertainty in the world?

With all that’s going on, a lot of us have been facing challenges. Our health routines have been disrupted, our relationships have been strained, and a lot of our financial worlds have been rocked.

Today, you’re going to hear stories from two groups of The ONE Thing members. One is a husband and wife couple who have gone on a journey of transforming their health, their wealth, and their relationship. The other is a corporate attorney who has leveraged The ONE Thing’s goal setting principles to not only maintain a thriving career this year but make sure she’s showing up as a wife and as a mother first.

Wouldn’t it be great if you could fire up a time machine and travel to the end of this pandemic? Better yet, what if you could transform to an extraordinary future where you not only accomplish all your big goals, but you achieve them without stress or overwhelm?

This may sound like a fantasy, but it’s more achievable than you think. When you practice mental time travel and get clarity on where you want to go, you can rewind the steps to where you are now and devise a plan to get there. This is what we call “goal setting to the now.”

In this episode, we’re going to walk through what this concept has done in our lives. By setting five year goals and then really big “someday” goals, and aligning your actions today with those goals, you will have a simple plan to follow that gets you closer to the life you want every day.

If this sounds interesting to you, you can join our annual Goal Setting Retreat by visiting the1thing.com/setmygoals.

Is your relationship moving forward or are you caught in a predictable loop of business as usual?

There’s nothing wrong with your day-to-day routine when everything is fine. But ask yourself: Is fine where extraordinary happens? Sometimes you’re at a point in your life where you don’t have a specific challenge to overcome—and that can be a good thing—and yet, sometimes, it can feel like you’re meant for something more. How do you take back control of your relationship and your life?

Meet Monica and Chris Tschantz. They were living a good life, and everything was fine. But behind the scenes, they were overworked, lacked purposeful connection, and struggled to find clarity for what they wanted in their life. One conversation they had at The ONE Thing Goal Setting Retreat started them down the path to increased happiness, extreme alignment, and renewed clarity on what mattered most—and what they needed to let go.

The extraordinary outcome of a small, two-day investment was that they got their life back. This is what becomes possible when you take time to become aligned with your most important relationships. If you want to do the same, join us at our the1thing.com/setmygoals.

Socrates said, “The secret of change is to focus all of your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new.”

The truth is that change is hard—especially uninvited change. It is often that change that pushes you in directions you would have otherwise never explored, and that’s where growth happens. What becomes possible if, when ushered into new territory, you quickly reset your vision on what you are creating and let go of what existed before?

Donna Miller’s proven business model of over 25 years was suddenly tested in ways that she couldn’t have imagined. As she was forced to double-down and reexamine every area of what once was, she did more than rebuild her business strategy — she also pivoted her leadership approach, and the results have been extraordinary.

What do you think the future of your work could look like?

With everything that’s going on, we have the opportunity to pause, to ask different questions, and to reevaluate what our vision for the future looks like. All around the world, people’s opinions of what the future of work looks like have changed.

We’re going to walk you through the questions we’ve been asking over the last few months, the research we’ve been doing, how our vision has changed, and how the principles of The ONE Thing line up with it—all in service of you going on your own journey to ask what the future of your work will look like. In every shift, there is a gift. This is a chance to look at the goals we’ve set and decide if they are still the same.

One way to envision your future is to get clear on your values. Your values will inform the habits you make every day, and they will set the stage for what the future of work looks like for you. If you need help prioritizing your values, you can join the waiting list for our The ONE Thing Values Deck at the1thing.com/corevalues.

What if we told you that you are only one habit away from making your goal a reality?

It’s the truth. The problem is that, while habit formation is simple, it can be challenging. For anyone who’s tried to make a habit stick you know what it feels like to struggle with consistency and doubt.

BJ Fogg, the author of the best-selling book “Tiny Habits”, is going to help you understand that the key to habit formation is not about thinking big and acting big: It’s about thinking big and going small and trusting that, if you can identify that domino and whack away at it, all of the other dominos will fall. Some habits take longer to form than others, and that’s why we’re having this conversation today. We’re going to dissect why the key to habit formation is all about forming tiny habits.

Going small takes courage when our ego wants to go big. The path to getting everything you want starts with one thing at a time. Do you have the courage to go small? We want to be on the journey with you. Visit the1thing.com/setmygoals to attend our Virtual Goal Setting Retreat.

How do we unpack the lies that keep us from experiencing extraordinary success?

One lie in particular that holds most people back is that “big is bad.” It’s tricky to debunk because, when you put “big” and “results” in the same sentence, many people jump straight to thinking that big is complex, time-consuming, or intimidating.

But the four ambitious leaders of the Empire Building podcast live in a way that embraces big thinking. The massive goals they’ve set for their businesses are only exceeded by their even bigger visions for what it means to live an extraordinary life. They are successful entrepreneurs, philanthropists, wives, and mothers who have started and expanded multi-million dollar businesses, and they share their tips for thinking bigger than you ever thought possible.

It is so important to surround yourself with people who build you up and support you. If you want to bring bigger thinking and more support to the people around you, visit the1thing.com/setmygoals to join our virtual goal-setting retreat.

How is your health right now?

For many of us, The ONE Thing is our health – or it should be. We get so busy and stuck in the day-to-day that we often neglect healthy choices and, instead, opt for convenience. Or we just feel so busy that making a healthy meal or going to the gym just feels impossible.

Today, we want to introduce you to someone who has spent the last few years making health Her ONE Thing, and as a result, lost over 100 pounds. This is a journey that has completely transformed her productivity and personal fulfillment, in addition to her health. Laurie Roth is the Learning Experience Designer here on The ONE Thing team and we can’t wait for you to hear her story.

We are kicking off our community-wide 66-Day Challenge soon. If you want to join us visit the1thing.com/habits.
