Summary

Consider the things that you want to accomplish in your life... is it possible for you to achieve those things alone? Achieving all of our goals requires the support of our significant others, our business partners, our bosses, and our friends. But how many of us actually have a process for setting goals with these people who have a stake in our success? Sadly, very few of us do. But this is something we can change! Over a decade ago, The ONE Thing co-author Jay Papasan and his wife Wendy Papasan set aside a night for ONE purpose: casting a vision for what they wanted their lives to look like together so that they would be on the same page – and the idea of a couples goal-setting retreat was born! In this episode, we’re sharing a live webinar featuring Jay and Wendy, in which they talk about what their retreats look like and what you need to know to prepare for your own goal-setting retreat.

So ask yourself, who are those people, that handful of people, who matter most when it comes to achieving what you want to achieve? Do those people know what you’re really striving for over the next 12 months, or the next five years? And what would be possible if, every single day, you had them in your corner supporting you while you take the actions necessary for success?

Recently we've had a lot of conversations around what it looks like to set goals

0:18.2

with the people that matter most to you.

0:21.1

This is because no one succeeds alone. Think about it. You cast a

0:26.1

vision for your life. There are certainly things in your life that you want to

0:29.1

accomplish. Is it really possible for you to achieve them without the support of your significant other?

0:35.0

Without the support of a business partner or your boss or your team, your friends?

0:40.0

Yet how many of us follow a proven process to set our goals with the people who have a

stake in our success? The answer is very few. This is something that we hope to change.

Over a decade ago, Jay Papazan, who co-authored the one thing with Gary Keller and his wife Wendy Papazan,

escaped their normal environment. They hired a babysitter for their kids and they got a

1:05.0

hotel room and they had one purpose to really cast a vision for what they wanted their life

1:10.0

to look like together so they would be on the same page. This was not about having

the same goals, it was about opening a dialogue about what they wanted life to look like

1:20.3

and gaining insight into what each other wanted so they could support one

1:23.8

another. In this episode you are going to hear the audio from a live webinar

1:29.2

we did with Jay and Wendy. Every month we host a live webinar free of charge called the One Thing

1:35.2

webinar series and this month we sat down with Jay and Wendy and asked them

about what their journey to creating their couples goal-setting retreat looked like.

1:44.5

And very specifically talked about how you can prepare for your goal-setting retreat, what expectations
