There’s a great book by Gary Keller called The One Thing.
Keller suggests that ol’ Vilfredo Pareto was much too generous with his principle that we call the 80/20 rule… you know the rule that says 20% of your efforts yield 80% of your outcomes. (And, of course, if that’s true… why aren’t you focusing just on the 20%, right?)
Keller explores the idea that maybe it’s 10% that yields the 90%. Or 5% that yields the 95%. Or… perhaps… it’s really just one thing. One thing that really moves the dial in your business or your life.
Just one thing.
Keller has this great question: What’s the one thing that would make everything else easier or unnecessary?
It’s a powerful question to consider when doing yearly and quarterly planning. It’s an important question to hold as your look at your week. It’s a game changing question to hold from moment to moment.
And sometimes the answer is a surprising one.
What’s the one thing for you right now?
