브라이언 노트:

1. The ONE Thing

• The one thing is the best approach to getting what you want.
• Because it has only one purpose

2. The Domino Effect

• Chain reaction of surprising power
• The key is over time. Success is built sequentially. It's one thing at a time.

3. Success Leaves Clues

• Extraordinarily successful companies always have one product or service they are most known for or that makes them the most money.
• No one succeeds alone. No one.
• Passion for something leads to disproportionate time practicing or working at it. That time spent eventually translates to skill, and when skill improves, results improve.
• Live the ONE Thing.

• We don't need any more discipline than we already have.

8. A Balanced Life

• Time on one thing means time away from another. This makes balance impossible.
• Magic happens at the extreme.
• The things we presume to have balance are really just counterbalancing.
