Reid McCormick

motivational over practial

July 22, 2013

There is beauty in simplicity; in nature, art, business, science and everything in between.
Simplicity recognizes the important thing while ignoring the trivial things. Simplicity makes you more efficient and more effective simultaneously.

The One Thing by Gary Keller is a quick overview of simplicity. Keller is the founder of one of the largest real estate companies in the world and the author of several successful books. Keller draws on his profitable experience and shares his simple secret to success.

The One Thing has an inspiring message, but as a whole the book feels like a long speech by a motivational speaker. The book lacks interesting anecdotes that could really bolster Keller's message. The pages contain curious graphs however none are based on any real numbers just ideas. And it gets a little annoying that the author has pre-underlined parts of the book, that doesn't really give me the opportunity to have the book speak to me.

Keller has a good message: focus on the one thing and everything else falls into place. I am not sure if a whole book was necessary, but the message can definitely perk you up. It's sort of like soda, it tastes really sweet, it gets you caffeinated and pumped up but the feeling doesn't last long because there was no real nutrition to sustain you.

Life is too short to chase unicorns....learn to FOCUS!

March 31, 2013

This week Gary and co-author Jay Papasan publishes their next book -- The ONE Thing. I had an opportunity to read an advance copy and there is no doubt that this book will surge to the top New York Times best seller list this month!

In an information overload and multi-tasking world their message is clear and single-minded. You have to FOCUS on ONE thing. Extraordinary results are directly determined by how narrow you can make your focus. Of course for most of us that is really hard to do. Distractions and popular philosophies are often the reasons why we think we can't or didn't succeed.

Well, early in this book the authors challenge six widely popular beliefs and confront them as lies.

1. Everything Matters Equally
2. Multitasking is Good
3. Success Requires a Disciplined Life
4. Willpower is Always on Will-Call
5. A Balanced Life is Required
6. Big is Bad

They thoroughly discuss each point, although I am sure one could write a book about each of these topics. But that's not what this book is about. This is about ONE thing, and that's FOCUS. Being successful, according to the authors, requires less discipline than you think. It's about doing the right thing, not about doing everything right. So if you wish to thrive, prosper and flourish...decide what things you're not going to do!

Bottom line... this is a self-help book and I have read hundreds of self-help books, even written some. I can vouch that it's always way harder to create, write and compile your many thoughts into a string of words that deliver a powerful message. Gary and Jay have done a great job! The book is an easy read with good structure, commonsense illustrations and a singularity of message. I would most certainly recommend reading the book. It will definitely challenge you to recalibrate some things in your life.

In closing, and on a lighter side, here are three of my favorite sayings from the book:

* "Multi-tasking is merely the opportunity to screw up more than one thing at a time."
* "Life is too short to chase unicorns."
* "Success is an inside job."

A book to change your life

March 17, 2013

If you agree that time is your most precious asset, and how you spend that time is important, this book is a must-read. Learn the compelling research behind why multitasking is the lie of today's world, and how to achieve your highest success focusing on one thing at a time. Learn the focusing question to ask each morning or hour, and how to make it happen at last. The section on forming habits is worth reading three times. You'll be fascinated, sad, and smiling throughout this book, as the life-truths resonate with you - at least I was. I am on my third reading. You'll also enjoy the 'big-ideas' section that may just get you thinking about your life in a whole new way. Once you are a few pages in, the idea that success is sequential starts to make sense. Whether you are looking at new ways to feel energized and achieving more with your family, or whether you want world-domination in your business, or just a way to feel less stressed and more fulfilled at the end of the day, I highly recommend this book - watch out, it'll be the #1 business book this year, read it first so you can understand the ideas before your friends and competitors do!
