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. Ben leveraged a simple-but-powerful mindset to overcome adversity and build an empire: he now owns and operates one of the top 25 producing real estate teams in the country, an additional 1,200+ KW Realtors in Washington state, and the KW master franchise throughout the U.K. Today he'll share how to focus only on the things you CAN control so that you can create an amazing life, too.

0:08.0	My name is Jeff Woods. I'm the Vice President here at the One Thing team.
0:12.0	Today we have a cool interview and this is really going to be from the vice president here at the one thing team.
0:12.5	Today we have a cool interview and this is really going to be a case study
0:15.8	of what it means to have a powerful mindset,
0:18.6	regardless of whatever situation you are in,
0:21.0	you know, we all have things that we struggle with and some of us use
0:24.9	them as excuses for reasons why we don't think we can succeed or, you know,
0:29.6	obstacles that are thrown in our way, but today you're going to meet a guy who has come from some pretty interesting places, has dealt with more adversity than most of us could ever possibly perceive in a lifetime, and still overcome them to achieve levels of success that most people will probably never achieve.
0:46.0	So today is going to be a really great interview with Mr. Ben Kinney's. I am so excited to share this. You all know I am an avid learner and I am constantly looking for the edge I can find through new knowledge and incredible mentors.
