1
00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:12.880
All right, welcome to the Prosper Leader Membership Time Together.

2
00:00:12.880 --> 00:00:16.120
This is the kickoff of the month.

3
00:00:16.120 --> 00:00:26.160
We're going to be talking about something so important, and I am wanting to get this

4
00:00:26.160 --> 00:00:27.160
working here.

5
00:00:27.160 --> 00:00:28.160
All right.

6
00:00:28.160 --> 00:00:30.840
Hopefully you guys are all seeing me.

7
00:00:30.840 --> 00:00:31.840
So I'm going to start with prayer.

8
00:00:31.840 --> 00:00:37.160
I'm going to be sharing a concept, and it has to do with something I think that we all

9
00:00:37.160 --> 00:00:45.320
struggle with, of course, and that is distractions.

10
00:00:45.320 --> 00:00:51.400
How many of you have issues with distractions?

11
00:00:51.400 --> 00:00:57.600
How many of you deal with distractions?

12
00:00:57.600 --> 00:01:08.760
I know that that can be such an issue, and so I'm going to start with prayer, and then

13
00:01:08.760 --> 00:01:16.360
I'm going to really get into what are distractions, how are they applying us, and how can we master

14
00:01:16.360 --> 00:01:18.560
the one thing?

15
00:01:18.560 --> 00:01:24.400
What is the one thing that will move the needle forward for you?

16
00:01:24.400 --> 00:01:29.560
And I'm going to be referring to a book by Gary Keller called The One Thing.

17
00:01:29.560 --> 00:01:34.680
I highly recommend it, and I'm going to add my own perspective and some tools.

18
00:01:34.680 --> 00:01:40.640
So let's go ahead and start with prayer, and then we'll jump right into the subject.

19
00:01:40.640 --> 00:01:44.820
So Father, I give thanks for this day.

20
00:01:44.820 --> 00:01:51.720
I give thanks for the opportunity to grow, to learn, to hear your voice, and I ask that

21
00:01:51.720 --> 00:02:00.200
whatever is needed for every woman listening to this, whatever is needed for them to prosper,

22
00:02:00.200 --> 00:02:05.640
for them to grasp the one thing, for them to advance and carry out their divine call,

23
00:02:05.640 --> 00:02:08.919
I'm asking that you will release that.

24
00:02:08.919 --> 00:02:13.960
Let the words of my mouth and the meditations of my heart be pleasing in your sight.

25
00:02:13.960 --> 00:02:16.600
In Jesus' name, amen.

26
00:02:16.600 --> 00:02:17.600
Amen.

27
00:02:17.680 --> 00:02:32.400
Well, did you know that 8 out of 10 car accidents, 8 out of 10 comes from distracted driving?

28
00:02:32.400 --> 00:02:36.440
And a huge portion of those are fatal.

29
00:02:36.440 --> 00:02:38.320
Distracted driving.

30
00:02:38.320 --> 00:02:45.480
And as I was thinking about that, I thought about what scripture says about distractions,

31
00:02:45.480 --> 00:02:51.560
and I thought about where am I distracted, and what is the cost, and maybe you can be

32
00:02:51.560 --> 00:02:59.520
meditating on this, what is the cost of distractions in your life?

33
00:02:59.520 --> 00:03:05.160
What is it costing you in your health, in your relationships?

34
00:03:05.160 --> 00:03:09.560
You know, nowadays, all you have to do is look around a restaurant or something and

35
00:03:09.560 --> 00:03:15.920
you'll see a couple, and one of them looks like they're sharing something really important,

36
00:03:15.920 --> 00:03:21.280
and the other one just, you know, keeps on picking up their cell phone and looking at

37
00:03:21.280 --> 00:03:24.440
it and giving some grunts and groans, uh-huh, uh-huh.

38
00:03:24.440 --> 00:03:28.320
What is distractions costing in relationships?

39
00:03:28.320 --> 00:03:33.320
What is distractions costing in your finances?

40
00:03:33.320 --> 00:03:40.880
What are distractions costing in every area of your life, in your spiritual life?

41
00:03:40.880 --> 00:03:44.280
So I thought about some scriptures.

42
00:03:44.280 --> 00:03:52.680
One of them is 1 Corinthians 7, 35, and it's really, really powerful, and it says in there,

43
00:03:53.320 --> 00:03:57.120
I think it's in the New Living Translation, it says,

44
00:03:57.120 --> 00:04:03.280
have as few distractions as possible.

45
00:04:03.280 --> 00:04:08.840
Focus on what you need to do and have as few distractions as possible.

46
00:04:08.840 --> 00:04:10.200
That's great counsel.

47
00:04:10.200 --> 00:04:20.279
Hebrews 12, 2 says, looking away, you look away from all that will distract.

48
00:04:20.320 --> 00:04:22.920
So this becomes very deliberate.

49
00:04:22.920 --> 00:04:29.480
It is a deliberate decision that you come to realize, what are distractions costing me?

50
00:04:29.480 --> 00:04:34.600
And I'm going to create a situation where I am looking away.

51
00:04:34.600 --> 00:04:41.800
Now, here's the biggest distraction that I see right now in the modern day of AI and

52
00:04:41.800 --> 00:04:48.080
in all of social media and so on, and that is multitasking.

53
00:04:48.120 --> 00:04:52.920
So I want to begin, as I talk about focus and getting rid of distractions in one thing,

54
00:04:52.920 --> 00:04:59.840
I want to talk about the concept of multitasking, because I want you to understand, I spent

55
00:04:59.840 --> 00:05:00.840
over

56
00:05:00.000 --> 00:05:05.760
20 years studying with a brain function specialist, one of the top in the world. And I learned

57
00:05:06.960 --> 00:05:13.600
way back that distractions, and as I'm talking things are popping up on my screen as a

58
00:05:13.600 --> 00:05:24.160
distraction, what I'm talking about. Distractions in multitasking. Multitasking, there is no such

59
00:05:24.240 --> 00:05:31.040
thing. It's a lie. In other words, you cannot do multiple tasks. That's not what's happening in

60
00:05:31.040 --> 00:05:37.280
your brain. You are not doing multiple tasks at once. Now, yes, you can do multiple things. You

61
00:05:37.280 --> 00:05:43.120
can walk and talk and chew gum. You can drive and be on the phone. You can do multiple things,

62
00:05:43.120 --> 00:05:50.640
but you can only focus and give your attention to one of those. Hence, the car accident.

63
00:05:51.440 --> 00:05:57.600
You're focusing on the phone or you're focusing on that and you miss because your attention is

64
00:05:57.600 --> 00:06:02.960
not on the driving. That's on automatic pilot. And boom, you crash into the person that stopped

65
00:06:02.960 --> 00:06:06.560
in front of you that you didn't notice or the person that ran across the road or you go off

66
00:06:06.560 --> 00:06:13.040
the side or whatever. So in multitasking, I want you to think about, we use the term

67
00:06:13.040 --> 00:06:18.640
juggling a lot. It's a good word for multitasking. I want you to think for a second about juggling.

68
00:06:19.520 --> 00:06:24.560
What is juggling? You got multiple balls in the air. So it looks like I'm juggling

69
00:06:24.560 --> 00:06:28.560
multiple things. I got my business and my relationships and my social media and I'm

70
00:06:28.560 --> 00:06:33.280
juggling. I'm juggling. But the truth of juggling is you're only doing one thing at a time.

71
00:06:33.280 --> 00:06:39.040
You're catching one ball at a time and then you're releasing it. It's one at a time. So you're not

72
00:06:39.040 --> 00:06:46.000
actually juggling all three balls. You're doing one at a time sequentially. Now, some of you

73
00:06:46.000 --> 00:06:50.560
have probably gotten really good at that or you think you have, but I want you to understand the

74
00:06:50.560 --> 00:06:56.480
cost, what it's costing you to multitask. Because what's interesting in the brain science and why I

75
00:06:56.480 --> 00:07:02.160
go back to the fact that I spoke to this brain function specialist is that what's happening in

76
00:07:02.160 --> 00:07:07.760
your brain is that your brain is not doing multiple things at the same time. It's doing one

77
00:07:07.760 --> 00:07:13.520
and it's having to switch off, switch on to that, switch off, switch on to that, switch off, switch

78
00:07:13.520 --> 00:07:19.920
on. Now here's the amazing thing. Number one, it makes your brain tired. Number two, it's costing

79
00:07:19.920 --> 00:07:26.080
your brain enormous amount of energy. Your brain uses a great deal of energy, the portion of your

80
00:07:26.080 --> 00:07:33.600
body's energy. And so this is why we also get fatigued. And so it actually takes time to switch

81
00:07:33.600 --> 00:07:41.200
back in to what you're doing. And depending on how complicated the task is, the harder it is to get

82
00:07:41.200 --> 00:07:47.760
back into it. Also, the longer the time that you're away from it. So imagine you're working

83
00:07:47.760 --> 00:07:52.960
on something intensely and something calls you off. What are the distractions? People. People's

84
00:07:52.960 --> 00:07:58.480
emergencies call you off. You know, phone calls call you off. Your own thinking, your negative

85
00:07:58.480 --> 00:08:03.520
thoughts can call you off. Procrastination can call you off where you just go off and get distracted

86
00:08:03.520 --> 00:08:09.040
doing something else. The more complicated thing you were working on and the longer you leave,

87
00:08:09.040 --> 00:08:15.440
the harder it is to get back into it. So that's why I want you to take this for a second.

88
00:08:15.440 --> 00:08:22.560
If you were having surgery or your child, let's just picture your child is having brain surgery.

89
00:08:24.400 --> 00:08:30.480
How much would you want that doctor focusing? Would you be okay doing brain folks if he's also

90
00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:40.559
looking at his phone? If he's also chit-chatting around? Okay. No. You expect them to 100% focus.

91
00:08:41.360 --> 00:08:47.520
And yet, we don't do that for our relationships. We don't do that for the quality of our work

92
00:08:47.520 --> 00:08:52.560
in our business. We don't do that for our health. We don't do that for our spiritual life.

93
00:08:53.440 --> 00:09:05.360
And so this multitasking, researchers estimate in multitasking that we lose 28% of our day to

94
00:09:05.360 --> 00:09:10.560
distractions. So you think it's nothing, checking that message on the phone, sending off that quick

95
00:09:10.560 --> 00:09:17.200
text, answering that email, taking a call in between. Things are, and it's harder and harder

96
00:09:17.760 --> 00:09:22.960
because it's designed to distract us. Try not looking at your phone. You sit down to read

97
00:09:22.960 --> 00:09:28.160
your Bible. Does any of you have this happen? You sit down to read your Bible and your phone lights

98
00:09:28.160 --> 00:09:33.440
up. And depending what you have turned on or turned off on your phone, you're going to get

99
00:09:33.440 --> 00:09:43.600
everything from Instagram to Facebook to now there's a new one, threads and LinkedIn. And all

100
00:09:43.600 --> 00:09:48.800
these things are sending you messages, vying for your attention. Your attention is the commodity.

101
00:09:49.760 --> 00:09:55.520
Everything is fighting for your attention. And the question is, what is that costing you?

102
00:09:55.520 --> 00:09:59.840
They estimate in our workday, 28%.

103
00:10:00.000 --> 00:10:03.720
of our workday is spent on distractions

104
00:10:03.720 --> 00:10:06.440
and getting back from distractions.

105
00:10:06.440 --> 00:10:09.120
No wonder it takes longer to get something done.

106
00:10:09.120 --> 00:10:11.480
No wonder we can't seem to complete tasks

107
00:10:11.480 --> 00:10:12.920
and we don't finish anything.

108
00:10:12.920 --> 00:10:14.800
No wonder we're exhausted

109
00:10:14.800 --> 00:10:17.920
and our brain hurts at the end of the day.

110
00:10:17.920 --> 00:10:21.640
And so this is something that we have to very consciously

111
00:10:21.640 --> 00:10:24.240
and deliberately address.

112
00:10:24.240 --> 00:10:28.040
And it is choosing not to multitask.

113
00:10:28.040 --> 00:10:33.040
Now, those of you that work with me know one of the ways

114
00:10:33.200 --> 00:10:38.200
that I handled this is developing the Prosper Leader Plan

115
00:10:38.360 --> 00:10:42.840
because most people are operating on a to-do list.

116
00:10:42.840 --> 00:10:45.640
And so they just keep adding to this to-do list

117
00:10:45.640 --> 00:10:47.240
and there's a certain satisfaction

118
00:10:47.240 --> 00:10:48.680
of being able to cross off.

119
00:10:48.680 --> 00:10:51.000
But here's what happens with a to-do list.

120
00:10:51.000 --> 00:10:53.080
It's a form of multitasking.

121
00:10:53.080 --> 00:10:56.360
There is no prioritization.

122
00:10:56.360 --> 00:11:00.840
So the things you get done may not be advancing your health

123
00:11:00.840 --> 00:11:02.640
or they may not be advancing your business

124
00:11:02.640 --> 00:11:04.680
or they may not be advancing your relationship.

125
00:11:04.680 --> 00:11:07.200
You're just checking things off the list.

126
00:11:07.200 --> 00:11:08.720
And the most important things

127
00:11:08.720 --> 00:11:10.880
may be the things that you're procrastinating,

128
00:11:10.880 --> 00:11:12.080
the things that make you money,

129
00:11:12.080 --> 00:11:13.640
the things that make you get healthy,

130
00:11:13.640 --> 00:11:15.520
the things that improve your relationship.

131
00:11:15.520 --> 00:11:17.840
You may be procrastinating or putting off

132
00:11:17.840 --> 00:11:20.160
and it just goes on the list the next day

133
00:11:20.160 --> 00:11:22.640
and that list gets longer and longer and longer.

134
00:11:22.640 --> 00:11:25.640
And this is why lists do not work.

135
00:11:25.640 --> 00:11:27.160
It's very important.

136
00:11:27.160 --> 00:11:31.000
You can use lists for getting it off of your head

137
00:11:31.000 --> 00:11:31.840
and onto paper.

138
00:11:31.840 --> 00:11:33.280
Lists are great for that.

139
00:11:33.280 --> 00:11:35.320
Okay, so you can start there.

140
00:11:35.320 --> 00:11:39.400
Most of you know, I use a list book

141
00:11:39.400 --> 00:11:42.360
and I creatively brainstorm with lists.

142
00:11:42.360 --> 00:11:44.640
I've talked about that in previously calls

143
00:11:44.640 --> 00:11:47.520
but organizing your day around lists,

144
00:11:47.520 --> 00:11:50.160
you've got to move from a to-do list

145
00:11:50.160 --> 00:11:54.160
to a prioritized list, a success list.

146
00:11:54.160 --> 00:11:56.520
Now to do that,

147
00:11:56.520 --> 00:12:00.160
it's very important that you focus in on

148
00:12:00.160 --> 00:12:04.520
what is your one thing?

149
00:12:04.520 --> 00:12:07.960
What is your one thing?

150
00:12:10.160 --> 00:12:14.200
And so I am going to need to figure out

151
00:12:14.200 --> 00:12:15.440
what needs to be muted.

152
00:12:15.440 --> 00:12:17.560
There it is, be muted again.

153
00:12:17.560 --> 00:12:19.240
Okay, there we go.

154
00:12:19.240 --> 00:12:23.160
And so what is your one thing?

155
00:12:23.160 --> 00:12:25.840
Now, I love in scripture where it says,

156
00:12:25.840 --> 00:12:28.760
let thine eye be single.

157
00:12:28.760 --> 00:12:31.800
There is this power on single mindedness.

158
00:12:31.800 --> 00:12:35.320
And if you study success and Gary Keller in the book,

159
00:12:35.320 --> 00:12:39.960
the one thing, I was reminded this week to go back to that

160
00:12:39.960 --> 00:12:41.480
and God had me read it again.

161
00:12:41.480 --> 00:12:44.920
I read it back in 2016 and God told me yesterday

162
00:12:44.920 --> 00:12:47.520
specifically, he wanted me to read that again.

163
00:12:47.520 --> 00:12:52.160
I'm gonna encourage every one of you to read this again

164
00:12:52.160 --> 00:12:54.280
or listen to it again.

165
00:12:54.280 --> 00:12:57.840
This is gonna become more and more important

166
00:12:57.840 --> 00:13:01.320
in this world of AI, in this world of distractions,

167
00:13:01.320 --> 00:13:04.120
where we're adding more and more ways of communicating,

168
00:13:04.120 --> 00:13:07.880
where more and more things are vying for your attention.

169
00:13:07.880 --> 00:13:10.320
And you're getting notifications from everywhere

170
00:13:10.320 --> 00:13:12.520
and interruptions from everywhere.

171
00:13:12.520 --> 00:13:14.680
It's gonna be more and more important

172
00:13:14.680 --> 00:13:16.320
for you to get very clear.

173
00:13:16.320 --> 00:13:19.840
What is your one thing?

174
00:13:19.840 --> 00:13:21.840
What is your one thing?

175
00:13:22.520 --> 00:13:23.400
Single mindedness.

176
00:13:23.400 --> 00:13:26.600
Now, let me give you some quick ideas

177
00:13:26.600 --> 00:13:28.840
and then we're gonna work on this in the mastermind.

178
00:13:28.840 --> 00:13:32.280
I'm gonna share my story.

179
00:13:33.360 --> 00:13:34.520
I'm gonna share my story

180
00:13:34.520 --> 00:13:37.080
of how much it affected me yesterday.

181
00:13:37.080 --> 00:13:39.080
And then we're gonna talk about your story

182
00:13:39.080 --> 00:13:41.200
and do some hot seat coaching and so on

183
00:13:41.200 --> 00:13:45.760
to help you get your one thing during the mastermind, okay?

184
00:13:45.760 --> 00:13:48.720
But let me bring some one things that I know

185
00:13:48.720 --> 00:13:51.080
from coaching hundreds and hundreds of people.

186
00:13:51.120 --> 00:13:54.480
One things that I see are not getting done

187
00:13:54.480 --> 00:13:55.920
that are causing a challenge.

188
00:13:55.920 --> 00:13:58.400
So the first thing, those of you that are coaches,

189
00:13:58.400 --> 00:14:00.040
consultants, healers,

190
00:14:01.680 --> 00:14:04.720
what the one thing that most of you don't have

191
00:14:04.720 --> 00:14:07.120
is your niche.

192
00:14:07.120 --> 00:14:10.280
In other words, who is the one client

193
00:14:10.280 --> 00:14:13.000
that you absolutely can best serve?

194
00:14:13.000 --> 00:14:15.040
Now, I understand that you're coaching,

195
00:14:15.040 --> 00:14:18.560
you can serve the multitudes with what you do.

196
00:14:18.560 --> 00:14:21.240
But when it comes to marketing and messaging

197
00:14:21.240 --> 00:14:25.240
and effectively reaching and effectively serving,

198
00:14:25.240 --> 00:14:27.240
you wanna hyper niche.

199
00:14:27.240 --> 00:14:31.200
So you wanna be able to say the one person,

200
00:14:31.200 --> 00:14:34.440
the one person that you serve, the niche,

201
00:14:34.440 --> 00:14:36.600
that would be a one thing you'd wanna get clear.

202
00:14:36.600 --> 00:14:40.600
That's something I do in Breakthrough Intensives

203
00:14:40.600 --> 00:14:41.440
and in coaching.

204
00:14:41.440 --> 00:14:43.760
You've gotta get clear on that one thing

205
00:14:43.760 --> 00:14:46.640
because if you know your niche, you know their problems,

206
00:14:46.640 --> 00:14:48.760
you know their desires, you know where they hang out,

207
00:14:48.760 --> 00:14:51.200
you know their languages, you've gotta start there.

208
00:14:51.200 --> 00:14:53.560
Otherwise, you're just throwing spaghetti on the wall,

209
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:55.480
hoping you reach somebody.

210
00:14:55.480 --> 00:14:58.720
Next thing that you need to know as your one thing

211
00:14:58.720 --> 00:15:00.160
is your one.

212
00:15:00.000 --> 00:15:05.840
promise. What is your value proposition? What's the one problem that you solve?

213
00:15:06.400 --> 00:15:12.880
Okay, so how do you get there? Make a list of all the things you can help people with

214
00:15:13.680 --> 00:15:21.040
and find a king pin of the one problem that you solve that your niche really needs. And now you've

215
00:15:21.040 --> 00:15:27.920
got magic. Now you could go to the next one thing, which is your irresistible offer. Because you're

216
00:15:27.920 --> 00:15:32.560
talking to the right person with the right thing that they need, your offer is going to really

217
00:15:32.560 --> 00:15:42.320
stick. Now the next one thing is, what do I do? I'm seeing that in coaching especially, I don't

218
00:15:42.320 --> 00:15:47.280
see this in any other business. In coaching it's insane. Coaches think they're supposed to do

219
00:15:47.280 --> 00:15:52.560
everything. Coaches and healers, okay. And so coaches are trying to be their own social media

220
00:15:52.560 --> 00:15:56.720
experts, their own lead generators, their own copywriters, their own web designers,

221
00:15:57.600 --> 00:16:03.600
their own podcasters, their their own producers, like their own author. I mean they're trying to

222
00:16:03.600 --> 00:16:09.520
do everything. And so they think that they're juggling, but they're accomplishing very little

223
00:16:09.520 --> 00:16:13.840
and they're not making a mark, they're not making an impact, they're not reaching their client,

224
00:16:13.840 --> 00:16:18.240
they're not making money, they're not getting the fulfillment, they're not getting the joy.

225
00:16:18.240 --> 00:16:22.640
If that's you, if you feel like you're doing everything and getting nowhere,

226
00:16:23.200 --> 00:16:30.640
then this is super important for you. You've got to know your one thing. Now hear me carefully,

227
00:16:31.360 --> 00:16:39.200
I found myself struggling with this, okay. So I started in my list book, I told you I brainstorm

228
00:16:39.200 --> 00:16:45.600
with lists. And so I listed all the problems that I solve, you know. I can help people know their

229
00:16:45.600 --> 00:16:50.640
niche, I can help them you know create a value proposition, I can help them design their packages

230
00:16:50.640 --> 00:16:55.360
and pricing, I can help them with public speaking, I can help them with AI, I can help them improve

231
00:16:55.360 --> 00:17:01.040
their sales and their follow-up, I can help them manifest their success, etc, etc. So I had to look

232
00:17:01.680 --> 00:17:08.480
what's the one thing. And then this this is what really helped me. I wrote down what are all the

233
00:17:08.480 --> 00:17:17.280
things I'm doing, okay. Coaching, writing, speaking, events, membership, courses, is this sounding like

234
00:17:17.280 --> 00:17:25.040
you? Master classes, social media, networking, collaborating, a podcast, is this sound like you?

235
00:17:25.920 --> 00:17:35.120
Creating videos, emails, is this you? So I wrote them all down. This is what I'm going to encourage

236
00:17:35.120 --> 00:17:40.960
each one of you as you're working on your one thing. I want you to write down all of the things,

237
00:17:40.960 --> 00:17:46.640
you're probably going to get about 10-15 things that you're doing, I'm guessing, okay. Write down

238
00:17:46.640 --> 00:17:50.880
all the things that you're doing. And then I want you to ask this question,

239
00:17:52.320 --> 00:18:01.040
which one of these things, if I did one of these things really well, if I focused really well,

240
00:18:01.040 --> 00:18:09.520
what is the one thing that would move all the other things forward? What is the one thing if I

241
00:18:09.520 --> 00:18:17.280
really focused on it? And for me, as I went through all of that, it was communication, it was writing

242
00:18:17.280 --> 00:18:25.680
and speaking. So if I just communicate, if I just write every day and I speak every day, all the

243
00:18:25.680 --> 00:18:32.000
rest will take care of itself, okay. So this will give you incredible focus. And I want to tell you

244
00:18:32.000 --> 00:18:38.640
a story, and we close, and I want to give you some examples, okay. My daughter and I watched a movie

245
00:18:38.640 --> 00:18:44.480
the other day, and I forget the exact title, it's It's My Friend the Octopus, or The Octopus My

246
00:18:44.480 --> 00:18:52.560
Friend, or something like that, okay. And it's a documentary. And it is, you talk about one thing

247
00:18:52.560 --> 00:19:01.920
and focus. This man went down every single day, over a year, dove down into the ocean, no wetsuit,

248
00:19:01.920 --> 00:19:12.800
holding his breath, no tanks, went down and studied this particular octopus. And it was

249
00:19:12.800 --> 00:19:20.800
amazing because he learned so much. And it started out, you know, the octopus is hidden in its den

250
00:19:20.800 --> 00:19:26.720
and doesn't come out, and he could just see the little eyes. And over time, he builds relationships,

251
00:19:26.720 --> 00:19:31.840
kind of like coaching and clients. Over time, he builds relationship, because he keeps coming back.

252
00:19:32.480 --> 00:19:38.400
Think about this, apply it to your life. He keeps coming back, and he's building trust. He keeps

253
00:19:38.400 --> 00:19:45.600
coming back and building trust. And the octopus finally sticks one leg out, and then

254
00:19:45.600 --> 00:19:52.320
touches his finger, and all 10, and feels. And that's all for the day. And he goes back in, and

255
00:19:52.320 --> 00:19:58.320
each day, he goes forward, and he shows up every single day. Are you getting the message? He shows

256
00:19:58.320 --> 00:19:59.840
up every day, and he

257
00:20:00.000 --> 00:20:06.880
builds trust and he builds trust and pretty soon the scene shows the octopus actually on his hand

258
00:20:06.880 --> 00:20:11.200
and some of the scenes are so beautiful. The relationship, I didn't know octopuses are as

259
00:20:11.200 --> 00:20:18.400
smart as primates and dogs and cats. I had no idea the story of what this octopus does is amazing.

260
00:20:18.400 --> 00:20:26.480
Okay and it shows the hardships of when he messed up. He dropped the lens and scared the

261
00:20:26.480 --> 00:20:30.640
octopus and the octopus went far away and moved to a different den and he had to spend all this

262
00:20:30.640 --> 00:20:36.560
time tracking and sometimes we mess up. Sometimes we lose trust but he stayed with it and he went

263
00:20:36.560 --> 00:20:42.400
back and do you know that he learned things that there was, it had not been in any science,

264
00:20:42.400 --> 00:20:48.480
it had not been documented. What he learned because of his single-mindedness, because of his

265
00:20:48.480 --> 00:20:54.480
intense focus, because his one thing was one octopus and showing up every day and building

266
00:20:54.480 --> 00:21:01.360
trust and studying. Can you imagine what would happen in your life if you had that kind of focus,

267
00:21:01.360 --> 00:21:08.240
that kind of one thing, that there's one thing you do really well for one group of people and you do

268
00:21:08.240 --> 00:21:13.840
it with all your mind and you study it and you live it and you improve it every day doing that

269
00:21:13.840 --> 00:21:22.000
one thing. You will be extremely, extremely successful and so in the book The One Thing,

270
00:21:22.000 --> 00:21:26.800
there is a chapter on how do you apply the one thing you know personally in your personal life,

271
00:21:26.800 --> 00:21:30.800
how do you apply the one thing in your spiritual life, how do you apply it in your business and

272
00:21:30.800 --> 00:21:38.560
your finance. But I hope that this gets you thinking and looking at practical ways to organize

273
00:21:38.560 --> 00:21:44.000
your time and your schedule so it's not just a to-do list, that your practical ways to eliminate

274
00:21:44.000 --> 00:21:50.640
distractions like consider having a set time for a set thing and you turn off all notifications.

275
00:21:50.720 --> 00:21:57.760
I've talked to you about that in the Prosper Daily Plan, there is the 20-minute focused

276
00:21:57.760 --> 00:22:03.120
increments and that's the purpose of that, that during that 20 minutes you don't take any calls,

277
00:22:03.120 --> 00:22:09.200
you don't check any messages, you don't do anything except work on that one thing for 20 minutes.

278
00:22:09.200 --> 00:22:16.400
That's the purpose of that in the Prosper Daily Plan and so this week I'm going to challenge you

279
00:22:17.040 --> 00:22:22.560
to really get clear on your one thing and if you need support, schedule a call with me.

280
00:22:22.560 --> 00:22:26.880
If you need to really get clear on the one thing in your business, of course, we can do that as

281
00:22:26.880 --> 00:22:34.320
well. So I'm going to go now into masterminding and I really look forward to hearing about your

282
00:22:34.320 --> 00:22:39.920
one thing and how we can equip you to figure out your one thing. Okay, so I'll meet you over there

283
00:22:39.920 --> 00:22:44.640
in the masterminding. I'm going to end the video right now.
