Larry Weidel argues you're often one idea away from a breakthrough in relationships, health, work, or faith. He uses a recruiting metaphor to explain how winners stack small things right, and suggests eavesdropping on high achievers to find the missing pieces you need.

If you could here hit one idea in an hour that you hadn't really, the light bulb hadn't gone on on that you hadn't heard it said that way, you know, one all, it takes your one idea away from an explosion. In the recruiting training business, we used to say you're one recruit away from an explosion. But you know, in life, in every area of your life, relationship with your spouse, relationship with your kids, relationship with your health, relationship with your neighbors, relationship with your God, your one idea away from a breakthrough. Where are you going to get that? You're going to get that from. You're going to. You don't know what you're missing, you don't know where that. You know, we never know what the missing piece is. It's not like the jigsaw. You say it's shaped like this. No, you know, we know we're missing stuff. We can't put our finger on it. The people who know the answers, they don't know what you're missing either. But when you get around where you can eavesdrop in a no pressure situation, eavesdrop or maybe have a chance to ask a question or two and hear them talk, hear high achievers talk amongst themselves about one or another aspect of winning, these things burble to the surface. How they think, how they go about it and stuff. You know, winners are doing so many things right.
