059 – The Power of Focus
In this episode, Nadia shares insights from the book: “The One Thing. The surprisingly simple truth behind extraordinary results.” By Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.
She explains four insights from the book that made her see from a different perspective such as multi-tasking can prevent us to be successful. The best approach, according to Gary is to block time only to do one thing, very well. This comes from Pareto’s Principle or also known as the 80/20 Principle which says that not everything should be considered in the same amount. Most of our success comes from 20% of our activities. The key to greater success is to focus on that small amount that yields the greatest results.
When choosing to only focus on one thing, you have to be OK with more chaos around you. For instance, if you wish to write a book, you might have to let go of some of the chores you used to do. And living a balanced life is an illusion that will lead you more of the same.
Listen in as Nadia explains how you can turn your life around for greater success.
