Quick Note: This Week is Podcast-OnlyHey everyone. I’ve decided NOT to create a blog version in Substack because writing that is just not my one thing right now. If you really want to follow along, definitely I encourage you to listen to the podcast. Maybe I’ll bring back the full Substack, but I’m just giving you the cliff’s notes today.In this episode, I share how I’m applying The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan—turning to-do lists into success lists and focusing on my “one thing” to promote my upcoming training.I walk through my real example: battling LinkedIn events (which I hate) to set up registrations that flow straight into my CRM. Shoutout to Jakub from Pont Studio and his Webinar Sprint course for the tip—it worked, with two strangers signing up right away.Key Insights from Chapters 6-7Chapter 6: A Disciplined LifeI don’t see myself as “disciplined” everywhere (evenings? Nope). But the book nails it: success isn’t about total discipline—it’s a short sprint to build the right habits. It takes about 66 days on average. You only need targeted discipline for what matters most. (Mark Manson example: messy life, but laser-focused book-writing.)Chapter 7: Willpower Is Always On Will-CallWillpower is like a phone battery—peaks early for me, gone by evening (hello, snacking defaults). Do your ONE Thing when charged, before decision fatigue hits.Personal Updates & Takeaways* The blog version of this substack (even with AI helping) isn’t my top priority right now.* Action steps: Build tiny habits (66 days/reps), track your energy peaks, schedule your ONE Thing first.Free Training!Join my free training Your Meetings Don’t Have To Suck next Thursday (90 min: 60 min content + Q&A).
