Put in 2% Daily Effort to get ahead of 98% of the Crowd

Focusing effort on something for just 2% of the day,
28.8 minutes daily, is more than most others will ever do.

If getting ahead is so difficult, how it can it be that small amounts of time could make a big impact?  The secret is to dedicate that few extra minutes each day to a focused task and then stay consistent with it.

Skills can be developed, knowledge can be learned, money can be earned.  But despite man's greatest attempts to turn back the hands of time, we are all left with only 1220 minutes each day to live out our lives.  Time is the one undeniable equalizer among all those who walk this planet.

But despite the lofty dreams of wealth and prosperity, very few will dedicate even just 28.8 minutes a day towards making those dreams a reality.

What if you made a commitment to take just 2% of your day and spend roughly one half-hour working on a focused objective?   Not following one fad to the next nor experimenting with a new flavor of the week only to give it up after a few days or weeks, but a total commitment to achieving a select goal and dedicating a minimum amount of time to it.  28.8 minutes of time, at least, every day.

You can certainly spend countless hours honing your craft and developing your expert niche in the world (and many people do), but the reality is that the absolute biggest thing that will separate you from the pack is just in making that dedicated effort to do it every single day, consistently and repeatedly!

The most unique thing to your future success is the dedication to being consistent.

Full energy, dedication and focus, for consistent periods of time.

Take action now: Pull up your schedule, and consider where you can fit in a half-hour window each day.  If you can't schedule something in the same place or same time slot, that's fine, as long as there is a minimum of 30 minutes on there somewhere. (If you want to schedule an hour or three, that's fine too, but remember it only takes 2% extra time a day to get ahead of 98% of the crowd.) For the next 30 days, keep a diary of how you spent that time, and ensure they were focused minutes.  If you need to, make adjustments so that you maintain a consistent schedule.  That is the most important thing. Feel free to share your progress below and we'll cheer you on!

It doesn't matter when or where you commit that time, as every self-made sage will determine what works best for their situation.  The thing we all have in common, however, is that we have committed to doing it every day.

So get started today, and see you back again tomorrow.
