The principle behind this rule which I’m going to tell you more about in a moment is that 80% of the results you achieve are from 20% of your efforts.

Think about that for a minute. You work hard on a project. Let's say that the project is starting a business. According to the 80-20 rule, only 20% of your effort was viable. Only 20% of working hours and hours, days and days on your business, was productive enough to produce results.

When I heard about the 80-20 rule, it intrigued me. I wanted to know more. I wanted to know if I was actually wasting my time, which, to some degree, we all do.

But, I really wanted to know if I am only getting 20% results from my effort.
