Summary

One of the most helpful and popular episodes published on Freedom Fast Lane was a previous episode with today’s guest, Geoff Woods. Geoff is the Vice President of an organization called “The ONE Thing,” the empire that is being built around the hit book by the same name, written by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. Geoff is on the podcast today to share the power of The ONE Thing philosophy and how he is still practically learning to implement it in his own personal and professional life. But it’s not all about “how to” - it's also about the "what for." Geoff shares his personal story and the dramatic shifts that have taken place in his life from making these fundamental changes. You won’t want to miss this practical episode.

What is the 1 thing you can do that makes everything else more effective?

The fundamental principle behind “The ONE Thing” philosophy is this: Identify the one thing that when done, will enable you to be more productive and successful in every other area. Until that one thing is done each day you have not earned the right to move on to anything else. It’s this philosophy that has made Keller Williams one of the most successful real estate companies on the planet and it’s what has enabled Geoff Woods, today’s guest, to change his own life for and career path for the better. On this episode, you will hear Geoff’s story and receive his specific tips on how to get The ONE Thing philosophy working in your own life, so be sure you listen.

What most people do when they create a to-do list and how to make it better.

The typical to-do list is a column full of tasks. They are not in any priority order. They are not organized in any way. Most people address their to-do list by acting on the simplest or easiest issue first, then moving on to another fairly simple item once the first one is complete. But by the nature of those tasks, nothing truly important is being done. It’s just busy work. On this episode, Geoff Woods shares why a different approach to your to-do list could transform the amount of significant, truly important work you get done - and the impact it could have on you personally and professionally. You won’t want to miss this. It could truly change everything.

Why you need to think big and act small.

It may sound like a contradiction to say that you need to think big and act small. But it’s exactly right. Thinking big means that you get a big picture view of where you are headed. You know the WHY behind what you are after and the difference it will make when you get there. But in order TO get there, you’ve got to act small. You’ve got to narrow that field of vision so you can see the first, most vital things that need to be done in order to move you in the preferred direction of your vision quickly. That’s how truly significant things are accomplished and how you can reach your goals in record time with maximum effectiveness. Geoff Woods is on the podcast to share how to accomplish this and more, so be sure you listen.

The power of time blocking to truly get things done.

Time blocking is a practice that enables you to focus your attention over a prolonged period of time for the sake of being efficient and effective. It enables you to avoid distraction, stay on task, and walk away with a true sense of accomplishment. But more important than how you feel about what you’ve done, you will actually have done what is most important - which moves you forward exponentially. On this episode, Geoff Wood shares how time blocking works and how doing it the right way can free you up to live the life you want to live.

This is the show about building businesses and investing the profits so that you can live life on your terms.

0:16.3

And now your host, the future owner of the Cleveland Indians, Ryan Daniel Moran.

0:23.3

Hey everybody, Ryan here. Welcome to Freedom Fastlane. I've got a really cool episode for you today that I think you're really going to enjoy.

0:31.2

If you've been listening to Freedom FastLine for any length of time at all, you know that you've heard me talk about a few books that I think are

0:38.8

particularly impactful. For example, the primal connection by Mark Sisson is a must read for all

0:45.3

entrepreneurs because it goes into how our modern lifestyles reflect upon our genetic expression

0:52.9

and what we can do in the modern world to adjust and

0:56.4

kind of return to our primal connections. I'm also a big fan of the slight edge by Jeff

1:02.2

Olson, which argues that extraordinary results come from compounded habits rather than big jumps.

1:09.9

And I also really love the one thing by billionaire Gary Keller,

1:14.4

the founder of Keller Williams, which is the largest real estate company in the world.

1:18.6

And they talk about the simple truth behind extraordinary results. Well, my buddy Jeff Woods

1:25.4

is the vice president over at Productive, which is the company that produces all things related to the one thing.

1:34.2

They produce the podcast.

So he works side by side with billionaire Gary Keller, and he's building out their empire.

1:45.7

And he's been on the podcast before, and he talks a little bit about the high-level strategy behind how they build

1:51.2

empires. So if you go back and just search for Freedom Fast Lane, Jeff Woods, you'll go

1:57.9

through their idea of building a Disney, how they hire, how they recruit, and what the

foundational principles are for building these large big empires. That episode did really well,

2:11.6

and it was really well received, but we left the conversation at just the big vision. So I wanted to
