Have you ever lied awake at night wondering if you will be able to pay your bills?

What excuses do you use to hold yourself back? Our guest, Ben Kinney, experienced more adversity during his childhood than most of us will experience in a lifetime... but he created an amazing life because he didn’t make excuses.

Do you ever think about how to achieve everything you want and create a lasting legacy?

Today we're exploring how Jill Galliher, a member of the Keller Williams family, is leading by example to create power habits at home and transform the lives of the people she cares about most.   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Teach from where you are today.

Have you ever read a book, taken a course, or attended a seminar... and then done nothing with what you learned? Too often, we learn something that can transform our businesses or our lives, but we fail to take action because we lack commitment. Last time Chad Hyams was on the show, he shared how living The ONE Thing allowed him to transform into his best self – and it all starts with the 3 Commitments.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Do you need more accountability or support?

Why do we all get stuck at some point in our lives?   If you are listening to this podcast, it's because you want MORE out of life. You want to achieve greatness... but, too often, we get stuck along the way. Lolly Daskal, the author of The Leadership Gap, believes we get trapped in the gap when we ask the wrong questions. Before you consider how to achieve your goals, or why you have those goals, ask yourself a different question: Who am I?   The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Before you understand what to do or why you're doing it, at any given moment, you need to know who you are being. To do that, you need to look inward. Who are you being while you are living and leading? Are you proud of who you are? Are these the things you want to do? Check your gut. If you're not happy with what you feel, you can make a choice: keep doing the things that brought you into the gap or do something different.   In this episode you will learn... [10:20] How you can leverage gaps to achieve greatn

Do you ever work hard and still fall short of your goal? It's frustrating when we muscle through a project and can't achieve our desired results. Today's guest, Dave Asprey, used to experience this frustration every day. He was in a mental fog, unfocused, and overweight... then he spent two decades and over $1,000,000 learning how to hack his biology, and he started a massive movement. Dave is now the founder of Bulletproof, author of a New York Times bestseller, and his new book is Head Strong: The Bulletproof Plan to Activate Untapped Brain Energy to Work Smarter and Think Faster-in Just Two Weeks.

Is there anything intend to do, some day, but never actually start? Sam Neylan, a fan of The ONE Thing for years, used to lie to the woman in the mirror every day.

He juggled multiple projects and businesses, some multi-million dollar corporations, but it was too overwhelming to sustain. Then he read The ONE Thing.
