One Simple Rule That Changed my Life Forever

Because instead of to stop and doing the deep analysis and figuring out what was actually wrong, they just started getting busy doing things. They didn't have the discipline to do the audit to figure out where the problems were and then the discipline to focus on what to say no to so that they could actually move the needle.

The 95-5 rule is like the 80-20 rule, the Pareto principle, but on steroids. It essentially eliminates the illusion of productivity by saying, what's the one thing that if you knock out of the park, like a massive domino will just knock all the things down and get things moving. If you're truly growing, 95% of your calendar is going to look completely different in a year.

That's how you know you're making progress. If you're still doing this year the same stuff you did last year, probably missing the mark. Which brings us to the question, how do you find your 5%? how can I focus on the right 5% if I don't know where I'm going? Like if I don't know what the target looks like, how am I supposed to hit the target? And people ask me, well, how do you prioritize?

One Simple Rule That Changed my Life Forever

How do you figure out the 5%? How do you really focus? Well, if I know where I'm going, then I can ask myself, does this decision get me closer to that target?

If I don't know what I'm trying to do,
