The 80/20 RULE

80% of your success comes from 20% of your efforts.
80% of your business comes from 20% of your customers.
80% of a problem can be solved by identifying the correct 20% of the issues.
80% of decisions made in meetings come from 20% of of the meeting time.
80% of your annual sales come from 20% of your sales force.
The old idea was that if you work harder you’ll get better results. That is now pretty well recognised for the myth that it is . The ‘prophet’ Pareto showed us that we can make better progress (profit) by stripping our activities and concerns back to a small authentic core - i.e focus on the ‘vital few’.
The message is, stop doing anything that doesn’t add value. Ask the question: How much do you do each day out of unquestioned habit or a misguided sense of duty?
Understanding the 80/20 rule can make your life and your business so much happier and profitable! In fact the vital few 20% is sixteen times more beneficial than the 80%useful many!
I have designed a hard-hitting yet delightful interactive presentation called:
“80/20 Winning With Numbers.”
This presentation exposes the simple secrets of the Pareto Principle - and all the benefits. My presentation goes further and asks “What happens when Pareto meets Parkinson?” (He said “Our tasks expand to meet the time available for them.”) The 80/20 Rule goes to the heart of efficiency, production and profit.
Our world is unbalanced it’s not a 50/50 world. It’s an 80/20 world. You can find out how to use this predictable unbalance to your immediate and long-lasting advantage. Don't just "work smart", work smart on the right things!
Contact me for a no-obligation discussion today. I will also send you a copy of my latest “Pareto Report” with my compliments. Valuable information for you and your business!
