What Is Your One Thing

Developing the Next Generation of Rainmakers What is your one thing? I recently read:  The One Thing by Gary Keller and Jay Papasan. I found some very helpful things in the book that I have shared with lawyers I coach. In the book there is a reference to this scene from City Slickers, where Curly tells Mitch the secret of life. How can you use this? Look ahead five years and think about your ideal place in your career and life. Visualize what it looks like. Then ask yourself: Curly was right both in suggesting the one thing is the secret of life and also telling Mitch it was up to him to figure out the one thing. I practiced law for 37 years developing a national construction law practice representing some of the top highway and transportation construction contractors in the US.
