"Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus… when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin."
"Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus… when you spread yourself out, you end up spread thin."
"A balanced life is a lie … Extraordinary results require focused attention and time. Time on one thing means time away from another. This makes balance impossible."
"Visualizing the process — breaking a big goal down into the steps needed to achieve it — helps engage the strategic thinking you need to plan for and achieve extraordinary results."
"If disproportionate results come from one activity, then you must give that one activity disproportionate time."
"The people who achieve extraordinary results don’t achieve them by working more hours … They achieve them by getting more done in the hours they work."
"Taking complete ownership of your outcomes by holding no one but yourself responsible for them is the most powerful thing you can do to drive your success."
"When you give your ONE Thing your most emphatic ‘Yes!’ and vigorously say ‘No!’ to the rest, extraordinary results become possible."
"High achievement and extraordinary results require big energy. The trick is learning how to get it and keep it."
(Probably the most impactful words, at least to me)
"What is the ONE Thing I can do such that by doing it, everything else will be easier or unnecessary?"
