Tackle Your 2021 Goals!

Our team loves focusing on our One Thing! Based on the The One Thing by Gary Keller, founder of Keller Williams, the One Thing is something that you can do in your life that will lead you to success. Here are three simple steps to identify your One Thing and give you the power to focus on it and achieve your goals.

1. Find Your Purpose

Everyone wants to have a purpose in life, right? If you don’t know already, that’s okay! You likely have many things that are important in your life, whether they involve your job, family,  hobbies, and so on. Think about what activities and outcomes you are most passionate about. For example, you may love hiking and feel passionately about people around the world having access to natural areas that they can explore.

Now, what do you think is the One Thing that you can do to achieve one of these activities and outcomes? See if you can write up a purpose to describe how you can do this One Thing.

2. Being Productive

First, try doing some research to find out who has achieved a similar purpose to yours and find out how they accomplished this. Then, try setting goals for yourself. Start with a big, long term one, then a five-year goal, a one-year goal, and so on until you have your goal for today. In order to be successful and reach your goals, try time blocking and other time management skills.

3. Focus on Key Areas of Your Life

It can be overwhelming to know what you want to do with your life but not knowing how you can do it. It’s a great idea to break down aspects into your life and figure out how you can work on your One Thing in these areas. It can be as simple as taking a 20 minute walk on your lunch break every day to improve physical fitness and mental focus, it doesn’t have to be time consuming or stressful. Start small! Planning out your week and figuring out what you would like to do each day to achieve your One Thing is a good way to break it down and make it more realistic for you to achieve.
