You’ve most likely heard of The Pareto Principle before, right? 80% of your results come from 20% of your efforts. You can apply this rule universally and it’s accuracy is near uncanny. Today, I’d like to introduce you to a principle you’ve probably never heard before. It is just as important if not more powerful than the 80/20 rule.
It is called The 100-Zero Concept. When you start applying this principle to your business and life, you’ll start to see some amazing things happen. The fundamental concept is that you give 100% all of the time and every time. Here’s the thing, you’ll do this even if you’re getting 0% back in return. That’s the part where it may get hairy for some of us. Yet, it’s necessary. Here’s the interesting thing just because someone is giving 0% doesn’t mean they’re giving 0%.
You might be wondering, what I mean by this? Brian Kurtz of BoardRoom explains it well. We all have some friends. Some of them could be from school or way back from our childhood. These folks we just love. We’ve all got our workmates as well or friends in our local area that we enjoy doing things with. My point is there’s usually just 1 0r 2 of these people that like to or will put things together. This could be planning a party, a reunion or going out in the town. You can count on that they will be the ones that will do this.
Everyone else may think about it but they never get round to it. Maybe they don’t have the confidence for it. So, it looks at the surface that one person is giving 100% and that the other people don’t care and are giving 0%. When you get with your friends you have a blast and the time of your life. The person that gave 100% and the person that gave 0% are both having a good time. Which person do you want to be:
- I hope you’re a hundred percenter.
- They are the movers and shakers of the world.
- They are the people that make things happen.
In business and life, if you don’t see the immediate payoff, even if it doesn’t seem fair that you are the one always doing things, always give 100%. This applies with your family, friends and with your work. It’ll always work out for your benefit and that of others.
Now, go out and make things happen. This could be:
- Calling that person that you’ve been waiting to call you.
- Starting that business that you’ve been waiting on someone else to hand you in a pretty little gift wrapped box
Put in 100% like you’ve never done before. I’m talking your absolute best. You’ll thank me later.
You’ll also be thanking me later if you’ll take the time to watch this presentation and then actually start.
Put in 100% and if you’re like the other peeps in this course, you can have amazing results. If you’re prepared to do 0% then of course don’t be expecting any results but I know you’re a 100% type of person.
