7 Questions to Master Your ONE Thing

“Success is actually a short race—a sprint fueled by discipline just long enough for habit to kick in and take over.”
— Gary Keller

We’ve spent this series exploring the six key questions that separate scattered effort from strategic excellence.

They’ve helped you clarify your focus, eliminate distractions, build a support system, and align with your Future Self.

But there’s one more step—the keystone question that turns knowledge into results:

What habit, if strengthened daily, would lock in your ONE Thing automatically?

Because clarity is powerful—but only when paired with consistency.
And habit is how you build consistency that sticks.

One pulls you in all directions; the other aims you in a specific direction.”
