The Rule of 1%

This post is a resurrection from earlier on in the year and perhaps one of my intentions for 2012 to which I still uphold.

If I told you to try to increase your business by 1% this week, do you think you could?

If I told you to go add 1% more subscribers to your lists, could you?

If I maybe suggested 1% more backlinks to your sites, 1% more sales, 1% more social media posts do you think that is achiebable?

I certainly don't think it is too difficult surely and after one year, your business would have grown by 67%, your list would be 67% larger and your income would also be 67% higher, now does this seem interesting as a concept?

Now, if you grew your network by 1% each week, do you think that 67% more colleagues in a year might help you reach your goals faster? I think so...

But of course, 1% a week is such a tiddley little number isn't it? And we are meant to be motivated individuals, aren't we? So how about upping the stakes a bit?

Well I for one decided that I could go one step farther and do 1% a day and wow now go check out the maths... You will be 67% bigger and more successful in less than two months and yet we are still just looking for 1% a day.

I am not even going to tell you what the growth works out to after one year as you just wouldn't believe me so go off now and get out your calculators or a spreadsheet would be better for this one as you can set a timeline and tick it off, one day at a time, 1% a day.

Or, if you like the first target better, then do the 1% a week and you will be where I am in 6 years time...enjoy the ride cause when you get here, I will be gone again
