Jay PapasanHOST
Jordan, welcome back to The One Thing.
Jordan FreedGUEST
Good to see you, Jay.
Jeff SandersHOST
But this one, surprisingly to me, is a book that I still use every single day, and I never thought that I would when I read the book.
Jeff SandersHOST
The book is The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan.
Jeff SandersHOST
I actually interviewed Jay Papasan in episode number 107.
Jeff SandersHOST
That was called Your One Thing That Matters Most, an interview with Jay Papasan.
Jeff SandersHOST
Now, The One Thing book is very popular.
Jeff SandersHOST
is also an excellent read.
Jake ClendeningHOST
There, there's a great book that I would reference, and you guys have heard me reference this before, called The One Thing.
Jake ClendeningHOST
Jay Papasan and Gary Keller wrote this years and years ago, and it, it's, comes back around, and I read it at least once a year.
Jake ClendeningHOST
Mine is dog-eared to death.
Jake ClendeningHOST
It's somewhere right around here.
MarkHOST
Yeah.
ClaireHOST
Written by Jay Papasan and Gary Keller.
ClaireHOST
And it talks very much about moving from A to P and, you know, becoming more purposeful.
ClaireHOST
and staying focused on the most important things in order to drive the business, what's going to move the needle.
Geoff WoodsGUEST
So, gosh, this is back in 2015.
Geoff WoodsGUEST
I moved to Austin, Texas, to partner with Gary Keller and his co-author, Jay Papasan.
Geoff WoodsGUEST
They wrote "The One Thing" together.
Geoff WoodsGUEST
Uh, and we started, the three of us started a company called Productive, which was gonna be a training and consulting company based on their book, "The One Thing." My office was the Keller Williams headquarters.
Jay PapasanHOST
How do we find that? How do we tap in to breaking through the boring, to do the work we know we need to do so that we can have the success we hope to have? In this episode, I'm gonna share three strategies we've seen consistently work in our coaching and training, three ways to beat the boredom, find your consistency, and be on the path to extraordinary success.
Jay PapasanHOST
I'm Jay Papasan, and this is The One Thing, your weekly guide to the simple steps that lead to extraordinary results.
Jay PapasanHOST
So this episode I kind of crafted after one of our most popular courses at The One Thing.
Jay PapasanHOST
And here's the thing, we're not wired for boredom.
Sarah ReynoldsHOST
Not one of them sold.
Sarah ReynoldsHOST
Then Jay Papasan went on tour for a new book that Gary and him had written called Shift.
Sarah ReynoldsHOST
And I learned something that completely changed the way that I thought about pricing.
Sarah ReynoldsHOST
What I learned is this, in a declining market or in any market where inventory is going up and buyer demand is staying the same or going down, you must lead when it comes to pricing.
Bob StewartHOST
And so, yeah, like I think a lot of us end up in adulthood having, you know, superpowers, whatever they might be, the ability to focus the, you know, the, the, the gift of gab or, um, I think of another one.
Bob StewartHOST
I was thinking about this the other day and I was talking to somebody, a friend of mine, and they'd made some, Chad, kind of, I don't know, like a backhanded compliment type of a comment around the company, like the company I work for and the stock and this potential IPO one day and, oh, it must be nice, was kind of the...
Bob StewartHOST
And like it stopped me and I didn't confront them on it because I realized not that long ago, way too late in life that you don't need to like argue with everything or like you don't have to be right all the time.
Bob StewartHOST
I've talked to you recently about that, right? So I kind of let it go and maybe in the past I wouldn't.
9 MINS LATER
Chad HyamsHOST
It could be the layer.
Chad HyamsHOST
It could be the outfit.
Bob StewartHOST
I think of my friend, Fred said, you know, Fred said, like I, and I talked to Fred all the time, sometimes in the morning, sometimes in the afternoon or the evening.
Bob StewartHOST
And every single time I talked to that guy in the morning, he's in his superhero outfit.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
And, uh, actually, a fun fact, his brother Seth, uh, plays in the Grammy-nominated band Needtobreathe, a big rock band.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
So he's an interesting guy, and we talk about Chandler's productivity tactics, his day-to-day routine.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
Um, it was a very interesting discussion.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
He's a super inspirational guy.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
All the show notes for this interview with Chandler Bolt are gonna be at bengreenfieldlife.com/bolt.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
That's bengreenfieldlife.com/B-O-L-T. Let's go talk with Chandler.
Chandler BoltGUEST
Yeah.
Ben GreenfieldHOST
Yeah.
Jeff GoinsGUEST
You know, the best example sort of of that would be The One Thing by Gary Keller.
Jeff GoinsGUEST
And it was co-authored by Jay Papasan, who had been his ghostwriter for a decade at least.
Jeff GoinsGUEST
And they both spent years field testing all these ideas, working with the Keller Williams staff.
Jeff GoinsGUEST
Jay was the one who told me the best way to write a nonfiction book is to start teaching a class on it before you write the book.
