Just one thing.<br> <br> <br> <br> How do you focus?<br> <br> <br> <br> Hi, I’m Brian Pombo welcome back to the Orange Office in Grants Pass Oregon. It’s a lovely day today. I spent most of the day outside working on a new new adventure for me actually. You’ll be learning more about it next month at the beginning of October.<br> <br> <br> <br> Here we are at the beginning of September. By the time the beginning of October comes around, we’re going to have a new office. We’re going to have a new adventure to talk about. So stay tuned for that.<br> <br> <br> <br> Later on this week, I am going to be coming to you live from a whole nother state and none of the states that are near Oregon. It’s beyond that as for a little bit of a clue. And I’ll tell you more about that when we get there. So see if you can guess which state it is.<br> <br> <br> <br> Today we’re talking about the second lesson that I learned from this book. The One Thing, the subtitle of this is the surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results by Gary Keller.<br> <br> <br> <br> Also with Jay Papasan. Jay, thank you very much. I saw that you saw one in the videos and I forgot to mention your name. I always remember to say Gary Keller’s name because it’s on the front, but Jay I’m sure was a huge, huge benefit to this, with his background and I have a feeling that his organization of this material made this book extremely enjoyable and very readable.<br> <br> <br> <br> One that you could go back to over and over and over again because it focuses on principles that never go away. This is one of those books that I recommend any business owner read because it’s such hardcore principles and this is one of the main ones that the whole book comes to and it regards the focusing question.<br> <br> <br> <br> This is in chapter 10, The Focusing Question. So much of the book is wrapped around this concept.<br> <br> <br> <br> And if you can get just a piece of this, this is one thing I’ve gone back to over and over again ever since coming across it a year or two ago when I came across this question and it’s dynamically changed my business in my life and how I’m able to help other business owners at the same time. So listen to this, I’m gonna read this straight out of the book.<br> <br> <br> <br> Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers there’s no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.<br> <br> <br> <br> That’s a deep issue unto itself. If you haven’t realized that yet, if to get something uncommon, you’ve got to live in an uncommon way. If you haven’t gotten that yet, you’re either in the right place or you’re in the wrong place because you need to get that point.<br> <br> <br> <br> The focusing question is that uncommon approach. In a world of no instructions, it becomes a simple formula for finding exceptional answers that lead to extraordinary results. Now here’s the question itself. I’ll see if you can wrap your mind around this. What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary? I’m going to say that again.<br> <br> <br> <br> What’s the one thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary and the concept behind this is is is there one thing that you can do that will make everything else you do either in that day or in your year or what have you, either easier or unnecessary.<br> <br> <br> <br> Is there one answer? The idea of having a bunch of dominoes lined up in a row,
