    The ONE Thing

    We want less. We want less stress. We want fewer things to distract us. With today’s constant bombardment from all kinds of technologically induced communication, as well as busyness from meetings, work, and responsibilities of personal life, we get tired. The results are that we don’t handle any of it well; the quality of our work declines, we miss deadlines, our paychecks get smaller, and our promotions don’t happen.

    But we also want more. We want increased productivity from work. We want more income so we can improve our lifestyle. We want life satisfaction. We want more time to spend on ourselves, with our families, and with our friends.

    Having both less and more is not mutually exclusive!

    The ONE Thing Teaches How To:

    Eliminate clutter

    Achieve more in less time

    Build momentum in reaching goals

    Tone down stress

    Overcome the feelings of being overwhelmed

    Get rejuvenated

    Stay focused

    Master what is important

    Following the principles taught in The ONE Thing will bring about amazing results that affect everything in all areas of your work, your personal life, your family life, and your spiritual life.

    The Focusing Question

    What's the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

    Write this question down—the whole book centers on that one question. There is power in organizing your life around ONE main thing.

    The Domino Effect

    The key is to figure out the ONE thing—the most important focal point covering every area of your life. This includes your business, your career, and your life. What is your long-term someday goal? After you have identified that, then you must figure out the dominoes that must be set up, and then knocked down, to achieve that goal. It’s simple, really; not easy, but simple.

    The ONE Thing in Action

    Bill Gates, the American businessman, is an example of how The ONE Thing lifestyle works:

    Bill's ONE passion in high school was computers.

    So he developed ONE skill, computer programming.

    While in high school, he got ONE job working in computer programming.

    Eventually, this led him to start ONE company, Microsoft.

    Bill's company, Microsoft, also focused on ONE thing -- the development and sale of BASIC interpreters for the Altair 8800. This led to Bill’s becoming the ONE richest man in the world for 15 years in a row.

    When Bill retired from Microsoft, he and his wife Melinda formed ONE foundation that, again, focused on ONE Thing: to tackle some of the world's most difficult problems involving health and educational issues

    Most of the foundation’s money was earmarked for ONE area, the Global Health Program -- which had ONE goal: using science and technology to save lives in poor countries.

    In order to work toward this goal, they decided to work on finding a solution to the ONE major cause of death in these countries-- infectious disease.

    The ONE solution they came up with was vaccination, which is the ONE area where they could focus the money that had the most impact on their main focus: tackling some of the world’s most difficult problems. As you can see, it all flows from one thing to another.

    Use the 80/20 Principle Then Go Even Deeper and Narrower.

    ...As fast as we were growing, we were still not acknowledged by the top people in our industry. I challenged our group to brainstorm 100 ways to turn this situation around. It took us all day to come up with the list. The next morning, we narrowed the list down to ten ideas, and from there we chose just one big idea. The one that we decided on was that I would write a book on how to become an elite performer in our industry. It worked. Eight years later that one book had not only become a national bestseller, but also had morphed into a series of books with total sales of over a million copies. In an industry of about a million people, one thing changed our image forever.

    The author of The ONE Thing, Gary Keller, is the founder of Keller-Williams Real Estate. This quote shows how he applied the 80/20 Principle to move his company, Keller-Williams, up the ladder of success in their field. He says that a To-Do List isn’t necessary, but a
