When I first discovered the 80/20 Rule (aka the Pareto Principle), I was immediately hooked.
In case you’re unfamiliar…
At its core, the 80/20 rule shows us how a small number of things often account for a large portion of the results.
As a general rule of thumb, 80% of results come from 20% of the efforts:
- 80% of traffic occurs on 20% of the roads
- 80% of profits come from 20% of customers
- 80% of a language can be communicated with 20% of words.
80/20 immediately became my “lens” to focus on the tiny efforts that produce the biggest results in every area of my life.
Now here’s where it gets interesting:
After interviewing Perry Marshall on Beyond Curious™, I discovered that 80/20 is FRACTAL — a repeating pattern that continues at every scale.
In other words…
You can do an “80/20 ON the initial 20%” and what you discover is even more disproportionate:
4% of your actions are responsible for more than half of your results (64% to be exact!)
As soon as I learned about this, a series of questions came to mind:
- How can I find my four?
- How can I live more in my four—spending more time doing what I am uniquely designed to do that creates the biggest impact on others?
Simply put:
How do I FIND and then FUEL my 4%?
If this is a question that YOU would like to answer, you have quite a journey ahead of you…
… and I’d love to join you on it 🙂
In today’s episode, I do a deep dive on the Find Your Four™ concept.
Here are 3 things to look forward to:
- I’m going to introduce you to a part of your mind that you might not know that you had — and how building a relationship with this part of your mind can help you build a more aligned life
- Discover how understanding the fractal layers of 80/20 can help you get more results with more fulfillment and less work
- Learn HOW to Find Your Four — I’ll walk you through an exercise I invented called the 4% Time Machine AND share a custom GPT you can use to accelerate your path to identifying your 4%
This ONE concept has been the single most transformative idea in my world, and is at the heart of everything I do.
Now it’s yours 🙂
