9. The BIG mistake we made (that you may be making right now)
What do you want people to remember you for? What is your legacy? If you want to create a lasting legacy, every action you take needs to reflect your values. We were playing the short-term game to grow revenue, but we needed to focus on our core values – our ONE thing. There’s a price attached to our values, but there’s also a reward when we stick to them. Jay Papasan, co-author of The ONE Thing, is back to explain how he knew we were making a mistake and to teach you how we corrected course. In this episode you will learn...
