In this YouTube monologue, Dr. Vince Leone introduces the concept from John Gordon’s book One Word That Will Change Your Life, which encourages individuals to select a single word to serve as a thematic focus for the entire year. He explains how this approach simplifies goal‑setting, especially for busy professionals such as doctors, entrepreneurs, and businesspeople. Dr. Leone shares his personal choice—"wife"—as a commitment to prioritize his marriage after years of concentrating on growing his medical practice and investing in patients and staff. He argues that a one‑word theme can help maintain balance, provide clarity, and keep attention on what truly matters. The speaker recommends that other physicians and high‑performing professionals adopt this practice to achieve more holistic growth and personal fulfillment.

was called One Word That Will Change Your Life. It was written by John Gordon, and it's just a short book. But his concept— there's a lot of people that, you know, people that are probably listening to this are, you know, they're business people, they're entrepreneurs, they're looking for growth. But sometimes goal setting can be, you know, a very daunting task. And so one thing that's worked with me, I, I do set goals, but one other thing I do is I, I set a— I choose a word. I really think about Something I really want to focus on in the upcoming year, and I narrow that down to one word, and then that, that's going to be kind of a focus. My word of the year for this upcoming year is wife. And the reason being is because in many years of practice, I've worked so hard at growing the practice, investing in other people, investing in patients. Sometimes we as husbands do not put enough focus on what is probably most important, which is our wives. And so, this is going to be a year I am going to make that a focus. But it is my one word for the year. So, I think a lot of doctors out there, though, would find it helpful if they utilize this concept of a one-word theme for the year.
