Summary

When Hurricane Harvey devastated southern Texas, we at Keller Williams canceled a national convention so we could focus on relief efforts.   We auctioned off the guest seat for an episode of the show, and Craig Goodliffe earned it with a very generous donation – but this conversation ended up being extremely valuable because Craig has been living The ONE Thing for years.   Craig shares how he says NO, and how he leverages virtual assistants so that he can focus on his most important work. In the second half of the episode, we grill Craig and ask a series of questions that you can use to find clarity and transform your life.     The ONE Thing to Implement From This Episode: Out of everything in this episode, what is the ONE thing you can do that will make focusing on your most important work easier or unnecessary?   In this episode you will learn...
