Finding the Killer Goal to chase

“When Einstein was asked how he would save the world in one hour, he said he’d spend 55 minutes defining the problem and five minutes solving it,”

So, after we know, where we really stand as far as our current perceived reality is, and where we would ideally like to take it, it is important to identify the ONE thing to focus on which could best get us there.

The ONE Thing. Gary Keller. The Power of focused goals

That may sound scary. What if there are more than one ways to get there ? What if I miss out on something equally important if I focus on only one thing ?

Taking the Einstein approach to problem solving, one would spend disproportionate time on figuring out the problem and in this case figuring out what ONE Goal could get us closest and fastest to our desired destination.

The Power of intense focus is demonstrated in the video about the science behind Dominoes ( not the gluten heavy snack delivery business ).

It demonstrates that if properly placed, ( just like our goal), the tiniest step can create a Butterfly effect of outcomes.

If you have to choose your ONE THING, to make the most impact in your life what would that be ? What would be your initial TINY DOMINO ?
