You mentioned millionaires have multiple streams of income. I’m not an expert on this but I assumed they focused on One Thing and once they saw success then moved on to focus on the next One Thing and kept repeating that until they had multiple streams of income.

This may have already been covered in someone else's comment, so disregard if you already "got" it.

The one thing doesn't mean you can't do all the things that are important to you. They are saying specifically, build a habit to exclusively a part of your day on "one" thing. After that habit has been built, which takes an average of 66 days, then you can move to the next habit. If you already have a habit built to make podcasts, then keep making podcasts and keep making them better and better. If you want to add a habit to improve your health, then start building that habit exclusively until it is truly a habit. "Trying" to build 5 habits at the same time, splitting up your will power among them, will usually mean you end up with zero habits.

You'll know if it's a habit or not, because without thinking about it, you'll feel weird if you don't do that thing each day.

To your point about millionaires in the US having multiple streams of income. Yes, they have multiple, but it's doubtful they built each of them at the same time. They probably did one exclusively until it was generating income and growing by itself. By itself means, you don't spend any time on it. You could walk away for 6 months and come back with a larger business than when you left. This implies a lot, as in you have people and systems in place that are growing it for you.

Dear Clark, you're amazing! You go into the details and how-comes, and this make all the difference. To know the general idea of the book is worthy, but sometimes useless. You provide much more than the average, explaining all the content of the book, and this is crucial for the self-development. Thanks from Brazil.

Clark, I truly agree that Multitasking is a big lie, It serves at the pleasure of others who are at the receiving end but personally it is never getting focused on the one thing which is most important. I have been praised for my multitasking skills, but now not only quit multitasking but also learnt to say no as well. Thank you for this wonderful video of The One Thing, It is always on my Desk to remind me of my area of expertise.

[katherineramos]

Changing one thing to make my life better, really hit home with me. My job is so stressful and the people are abusive and I would love to quit and just focus on my home business. FOCUS thats my new plan.Thank you for opening my eyes!

SUMMARY: (the power of focus and priority)

Dominos: the power of momentum

The 1 Thing: put 4 hours toward it every day
-“effective at all things, master of 1”
-“if you chase 2 rabbits, you won’t catch either”

Multitasking is Impossible. Focus, Mindfulness

Will power is like a muscle, as well as limited.
-channel willpower to primary tasks early in day

80/20: optimizes most important things in life

Balancing major Roles in life - varying quality

Implement Necessity: deadlines/urgency

Ask yourself “THE Focusing Question”

Address All Horizons of your life, big and small

4 thieves: can’t say no (is it a “hell yes”?); unsupportive environment; poor health; too much chaos

Apply the 1 Thing: Define - “what would this look like if it were easy?”

[TheAccessoryGirl]

I enjoyed your whole summary of the book, thank you! I really like the question, "What's the one thing you can do this week such that by doing it everything else would be easier or unnecessary?" I'm going to start asking myself that. I'm looking forward to your next video n this series! :)

[designeratworkind]

Fantastic work Clark. Amazing contribution to all of us viewers who either don't get time or don't even come across to read great book. Short n crisp learnings, easy to understand n apply

[HollyHahn-dc]

You explain even difficult topics in such a simple way.

[helloronung]

I love these Book Summaries! Thanks for making a PDF of the 11 questions. Will definitely do each one during my Thinking Time

[RobertScottNorton]

I thought this was really good. I've read the book and wanted a nice reminder without spending a bunch of time re-reading. Thank you.

[yakubmaalim]

THANKS FOR YOUR SUMMARY OF THE BOOKS @Clark Kegley they are highly beneficial to me personally.

[Iamjohn-oc]

LOVE this channel! I have read almost all of your book reviews so they are great refreshers. Thank you for making these!

[davidknott]

we can do many things but learn to focus on one thing in each concept.

[AleJorgeThomas]

Thanks. Clear, interesting and totally usable with my Business English students.

[GergC]

I am crazy busy all the time and jump from priority to priority at work and try the same with a Real Estate Investing Business I'm trying to start. It generally leads to little progress on most things. All of this was great and will have to pick up the book. But the top point for me is Live by Priority-Big Picture/Small focus. I need to revisit my goals list and make the progressive goal list to be able to set a trajectory (Someday, 5 year, etc.). And I need to keep that someplace I will visit it constantly, not in the notebook on the shelf from the class I took last year.
Great video, thanks!

I am from Pakistan 🇵🇰 the best point I loved was learning to say no to others I have done this to someone close to me I felt relieved 😌 and I always got in problems saying yes every time to people even if they don't acknowledge my efforts

[amanjee]
