SUMMARY OF THE ONE THING BOOK

     So, let start our SUMMARY OF THE ONE THING BOOK in story form or click here to get the pdf file of "the one thing book pdf".

Let's begin,

     Starting tomorrow I’m going to wake up early, meditate for an hour goes to the gym for 2 hours, go to work and as soon as that’s done.

   

     Go to a Martial arts class, come home and learn how to play the guitar because I’ve always wanted to play it, and once I’m done with that.

     I know it’s really late, but I’m going to work on my five different business ideas.

     That sounds so good because all of a sudden you’re excited about life again.

But, here are the two most likely outcomes of that dream;

1] You won’t be able to actually do it

     I don’t care how great you think your willpower is, because willpower’s like a battery.

     It’s get drained. So when you start your day off trying to be the Dalai Lama, and then Ronnie Coleman, and then Anderson Silva, and then Jimi Hendrix, and finally at midnight you want to be a Mark Zuckerberg, you won’t be able to get to the Silva, Hendrix and Zuckerberg point, if you even make it that far because the battery is empty by then.

     Let move to the 2 option in which we assume a hypothetical situation where you somehow can manage and consistently get through all those things.

In this unlikely scenario, the best outcome is that ;

2] You’ll just be Average

     You’ll still end up being average at everything. That’s just average.

     So we’re talking about success here in terms of how it’s usually defined.

     We think of the Dalai Lama as a success at what he does, we think Ronnie Coleman as a success at what he does, the same thing with Anderson Silva and Jimi Hendrix, and Marke Zuckerburg.

     Now if you look at all those people, what do they have in common?

     You don’t see Mark Zuckerberg busting through his shirt.

Why?

     Because if he dedicated his daily hours and focus on his workouts, he just wouldn’t be Mark Zuckerberg.

     Same thing with Ronnie Coleman. If he’s going to be upon the stage in 6 months, he’s focusing on one thing, and that's his Physique.

     He’s not playing the violin while building an awesome business websites.

     All of that leads us to this idea of the ONE THING. Every person who we view as successful has the ONE THING that they focus on.

     If it’s Mozart, play the piano. It’s not the piano plus hitting the gym, and shooting a basketball for hours.

     If it’s Lebron James, play basketball. It’s not basketball plus the piano and trying to compose for hours.

Now let me make this clear that I’m not here to define success for you.

     Your definition of success might be different than what’s commonly accepted. Maybe for you. Mozart and Lebron James aren’t successful.

     Maybe you like the idea of being okay at everything, and having a more balanced lifestyle. And that’s fine I’m not here to tell you what you should do or how you should think.

     But if you’re asking about how to be successful and success is defined for you by someone like Mozart in music or Lebron James in basketball, you do have to realize that there’s almost no balance with that kind of success. There just isn’t.

     So if you’ve been following this blog, I took a 1 or 2 week for making a one blog post and this was one of the biggest things I had to think about.

What do I want?

     And it wasn’t an easy choice. On one hand, I could pick a very balanced lifestyle.

     Wake up and dedicate my time to whatever I want to like the gym every day, the piano every day, cooking awesome meals every day, thinking about and exploring all the different business ideas that come to my head every day.

     A hundred other things that I’m slightly interested in or Just focus on the ONE THING which is read as much as I can and then share those ideas here to you from this blog Business Insane with the tagline "READ THE SUCCESS".

     That’s what I ended up picking. So my ONE THING literally consists of just reading and researching all day and my ONE THING at night is spending quality time with my girlfriend. That’s it.

     The only other thing I really do is go to the gym, and I’ve had to cut that down to full body workouts as well.

     If you’ve noticed, my posting has been a lot more different than it used to be. I mean there’s no way I could be posting at this pace if I decided to have balance and not focus on this ONE THING.

     There’s no way I can be hitting the gym for two hours every day, getting better at playing the piano, cooking gourmet meals all day.

     Focusing on 5 different other business  ideas, and then consistently be putting out blog and focusing on my reading so I can turn this into something great, because my willpower battery is going to be completely empty by the time I get to it.

So ask yourself, What is your ONE THING?

     Are you a Zuckerberg who’s trying to also look a bodybuilder? And also ask yourself, what do you want? Focus it on only ONE THING in which you can show your higher and best performance. 

     That’s the most important question here! When I’m trying to explain a book, I like to use real-life examples of how something would be done, but I think it comes across like I accept and fully implement a 100% of every book I read.

     I genuinely don’t care what you do. I don’t go to sleep at night worrying about whether people are unconscious in front of the TV at home or doing something proactive.

     So if you want to have a balanced life, I’m not here to tell you that you need to be a success at something.

     I’m not here to tell you how you should think of success either.

But if you want to know how to be a success, and you define success like it’s usually defined, then I’m here to explain it.

     The only way you’re going to get there is by understanding what your ONE THING is and then completely focusing on that.

     I wish there was a way to have a perfectly balanced, harmonious life, and also do extraordinary things. But there isn’t

     I’ve tried it so many times and have failed so many times. Mozart didn’t achieve extraordinary success in music because he had a balanced life.

     He didn’t meditate 2 hours every morning followed by two hours at the gym and a two-hour session of reading philosophy books before he finally started playing the piano.

     So here the summary of the one thing book is ended, the below quote is given to you get a quick idea of this book.
