Why You Need To Pick One Thing


Listen Later

What if the fastest path to scaling your nonprofit wasn’t doing more — but doing less, with laser focus?

In this solo episode, I share a story that’s been sticking with me — one that perfectly illustrates the overlooked power of choosing one goal. I break down how singular focus can turn small wins into major momentum and why scattering your energy across too many priorities might be the very thing slowing your organization down.

This one’s for any nonprofit leader who’s feeling stuck, stretched thin, or frustrated by slow progress — because sometimes the key to scaling is subtraction, not addition.

🎧 In this episode, you'll learn:

  • Why narrowing your focus can dramatically speed up your growth
  • How to set one clear, measurable goal that realigns your whole organization
  • What to expect when you prioritize focus over activity — and how to navigate it

🔑 Key Takeaways:

  1. Singular focus accelerates progress — Momentum builds when every resource points to one goal.
  2. Clarity reduces decision fatigue — A clear target helps filter what’s worth doing and what’s not.
  3. Scaling is about precision, not just effort — Doing less (strategically) can actually get you more.
