175. The Surprising Power of Mastering the Fundamentals with the 411

What does football have to do with the 411?

Well back in 1960, the Packers made it to the NFL Championship, had a lead the whole game, and then lost to the Eagles in a stunning display in the fourth quarter. On the first day of training camp the following year, coach Vince Lombardi walked into the locker room, held up a football, and said, “This is a football.”

Why did Lombardi start with something so fundamental? He realized that if they could truly understand the surprising power of mastering the fundamentals, that that ONE thing could make everything else easier or unnecessary – and in 1961, the Packers went on to win the championship. So in this episode, we’re going to help you master the most fundamental tool in The ONE Thing toolbox: the 411.

In this episode, you will learn...

• [6:30] How to get clarity on what matters most thing is using the 411.
• [12:00] How to differentiate a priority from a distraction by goal setting to the now.
• [19:00] Why sometimes you will be succeeding so slowly that you feel like you’re failing.
