Through story-driven lessons and structured concepts, it contrasts multitasking and diluted effort with disciplined execution. The book traces a progression from “lies” that derail priorities to a “simple path” for identifying the focusing question, building success habits, and getting extraordinary results. It also highlights practical tools for deciding what truly matters and how to live and work by priority.","[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nIF YOU CHASE TWO RABBITS    \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nYOU WILL NOT CATCH EITHER ONE.  \nRUSSIAN PROVERB  \n[OceanofPDF.com](OceanofPDF.com)  \nCONTENTS  \n1.

Not really, but it felt that way.  \nI was watching the hit comedy City Slickers, and the audience’s  \nlaughter rattled and rocked the theater. Considered one of the funniest movies of all time, it also sprinkled in unexpected doses of wisdom and insight. In one memorable scene, Curly, the gritty cowboy played by the late Jack Palance, and city slicker Mitch, played by Billy Crystal, leave the group to search for stray cattle. Although they had clashed for most of the movie, riding along together they finally connect over a conversation about life. Suddenly Curly reins his horse to a stop and turns in the saddle to face Mitch.  \nCurly: Do you know what the secret of life is?  \nMitch: No. What?  \nCurly: This. [He holds up one finger.]  \nMitch: Your finger?  \nCurly: One thing. Just one thing. You stick to that and everything else don’t mean sh*t.  \nMitch: That’s great, but what’s the “one thing”?  \nCurly: That’s what you’ve got to figure out.  \nOut of the mouth of a fictional character to our ears comes the secret of success. Whether the writers knew it or unwittingly stumbled on it, what they wrote was the absolute truth. The ONE Thing is the best approach to getting what you want.  \nI didn’t really get this until much later. I’d experienced success in the past, but it wasn’t until I hit a wall that I began to connect my results with my approach. In less than a decade we’d built a successful company with national and international ambitions, but all of a sudden things weren’t working out. For all the dedication and hard work, my life was in turmoil and it felt as if everything was crumbling around me.  \nI was failing.  \nSOMETHING HAD TO GIVE  \nAt the end of a short rope that looked eerily like a noose, I sought help and found it in the form of a coach. I walked him through my situation and talked through the challenges I faced, both personal and professional. Werevisited my goals and the trajectory I wanted for my life, and with a full grasp of the issues, he set out in search of answers. His research was thorough. When we got back together, he had my organizational chart—essentially a bird’s-eye view of the entire company—up on the wall.  \nOur discussion started with a simple question: “Do you know what you need to do to turn things around?” I hadn’t a clue.  \nHe said there was only one thing I needed to do. He had identified 14 positions that needed new faces, and he believed that with the right individuals in those key spots, the company, my job, and my life would see a radical change for the better. I was shocked and let him know I thought it would take a lot more than that.  \nHe said,“No. Jesus needed 12, but you’ll need 14.”  \nIt was a transformational moment. I had never considered how so few could change so much. What became obvious is that, as focused as I thought I was, I wasn’t focused enough.
