Recommendation

Most people want to be wealthier, smarter, stronger, faster, healthier and happier. To that end, marketer and entrepreneur Michael Alden discusses how putting forth only 5% more effort in every area can create lasting change toward achieving your goals. He warns that, often, people either don’t act, or they try to grow by leaps and bounds instead of taking smaller, incremental steps. But, Alden assures you, putting in a little more effort can lead to big results. He constantly refers to himself and his associates as examples of how to succeed in various areas, so the self-promotion can become a little tiresome, but getAbstract believes it shouldn’t detract from his overall, helpful and optimistic message: putting in a little effort can lead to big results.

Take-Aways

  • To succeed, put just 5% more effort into any aspect of your life you want to change.
  • Many people fail to achieve their goals because they’re dreamers instead of doers.
  • Instead of attempting to make huge strides, embrace small, incremental steps toward change.

    De la lectura 5% more me llamo la atención la parte en la que se refiere que para generar un cambio y poder alcanzar nuestras metas debemos esforzarnos un 5% mas en cada ámbito, lo importante es avanzar poco a poco y cumplir los objetivos; el poder aumentar la productividad en los diferentes aspectos de nuestra vida como por ejemplo en la actividad física, el trabajo, los hábitos alimenticios, en un 5%esto nos traerá beneficios a mediano o largo plazo e impactara en grandes cambios en los aspectos de la vida en el cual queramos enfocarnos para lograr el objetivo trazado.

    Doing 5 % more with positive activities and doing 5% less with negative activities for me is a do-able great idea.

    The author presents this idea in a motivating and convincing manner.

    The 2 questions to ask myself after reading this helpful summary are

    What does doing 5% more or less look like in the activities that are beneficial and harmful?


    And when do I start?
