In today’s class, we’re talking about the other part of the 80/20 rule. You’ve probably heard of it—80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts. This is a real principle, not just a theory or opinion. We’ll look at that final 20%, why it matters sometimes and why it doesn’t always. You can use this rule in your work, sales, happiness, and productivity.

Let’s figure out when that last 20% actually makes a difference!


Show Notes:
[02:42] #1 Once you have achieved 80% of results with 20% of inputs, that's often good enough.
[13:25] #2 You can afford to invest 80% of your resources in getting to the last 20% of results because that last 20% can make a big difference.
[22:18] #3 The mistake happens when we have already achieved 80% of the result, yet we keep working at giving inordinate amounts of resources to get small returns that do not produce rewards.
