Have you ever considered telling your prospects, they shouldn’t buy from you? Telling your investors or prospective investors why not to invest, or what’s wrong with your business? How about sharing with the people who don’t support your ideas, they’re right?

Just returned from 10 days traveling of Annual and Quarterly Planning with my customers. I want to press upon you and your business, the importance of The One Thing. It’s critical to make your 2018 successful. Focus is a critical part of achievement. In today’s world it’s easy to be distracted. In our last blog on Multitasking, Eliminate Multi-tasking - Achieve 28% Greater Productivity, we shared time the average time per day a desk job employee loses to interruptions and distractions (2.1 hours). We shared how being distracted lowers your IQ by up to 10 points. Focus is important to productivity and concentration. When you believe everything matters equally, you are majoring in minors. Today’s blog is a repeat of my introductory blog, The Six Lies Between You and Success. Thursday I plan to share further insights into the “Everything Matters Equally” Lie from Gary Keller’s The ONE Thing: The Surprisingly Simple Truth Behind Extraordinary Results, as well as helpful insights on the results my customers achieve from using the One Thing principle in their business.

For the next 12 days I’m traveling to visit my customers for Annual and First Quarter Planning. For my customers and myself, determining the One Thing for the Year and next quarter is critical to making the start and 2018 a great year. I don’t have any statistical evidence to support this, however I believe this time a year most of us are in the midst of having too much to do. The holidays do that! It’s more likely you’ll be attempting to multitask to get more done. DON’T. This is a repeat of a blog I wrote two years ago in December. My hope is to do a follow up for Monday if time permits with more data from the problems with Multitasking. In the meantime, please read this. Please think twice before you multitask. Science has shown driving while talking on your phone places your skill at the level of a drunk driver. It’s why we ask our children, especially our teenagers not to drive and use their phone, speaking or texting. Eliminate Multitasking and you’ll get much more done this holiday season!
