“Multi-tasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time.”

Success is sequential, not simultaneous.

When we know something that needs to be done but isn’t currently getting done, we often say, I just need more discipline. Actually, we need the habit of doing it. And we need just enough discipline to build the habit.

If everyone has the same amount of time and yet some earn more than others, can we say then say that it’s how we use our time that determines the money we make?

There is magic in knocking down your most important domino day after day. All you have to do is avoid breaking the chain, one day at a time, until you generate a powerful new habit in your life.

What’s the ONE Thing you can do such that by doing it everything else will be easier or unnecessary?

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.

A different result requires doing something different.

Success is built sequentially. It’s one thing at a time.

Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus.

To ignite your life you must focus on ONE Thing long enough for it to catch fire.

Even an idle phone conversation when driving takes a 40 percent bite out of your focus and, surprisingly, can have the same effect as being drunk.

Work is a rubber ball. If you drop it, it will bounce back. The other four balls – family, health, friends, integrity – are made of glass. If you drop one of these, it will be irrevocably scuffed, nicked, perhaps even shattered.

You need to be doing fewer things for more effect instead of doing more things with side effects.

Multitasking is a lie.

Anyone who dreams of an uncommon life eventually discovers that there is no choice but to seek an uncommon approach to living it.

Your work life is divided into two distinct areas – what matters most and everything else. You will have to take what matters to the extremes and be okay with what happens to the rest. Professional success requires it.
