One Percent

A look at how applying additional one percent of efforts in any increment of time can yield large and very meaningful changes and results. It is a performance and life changing perspective

We will explore together how we may overcome the natural mental roadblocks in achieving big goals, to grasp how a slow and steady effort is a way to adapt little by little and arrive at a better place, time after time. This approach gets us past the burden of being overwhelmed by being uprooted from our daily routines. It is observed in human nature that with the onslaught of momentous changes, many of us would quickly dig in, and hold tightly to what we have known for most of our lives.

Whether you're charting your paths through high school and college, have a full adult lifetime ahead of you, are in the middle of having a family while working on your career goals, recovering from divorce, or taking stock of when your retirement years will sunset. It is worth taking a step back to determine how you might achieve the goals and improvements you hope to make.

As you read on, you'll find that one percent can be applied broadly to any metric you choose to improve. This can be adopted from early life to the senior years. I mention it this way to point out that when one faces these forks in the road, we are often forced by significant circumstances, health crises, divorce, career upheavals, the death of a loved one, etc. It is the realization that waking each day is our daily gift, and we can take control and improve upon it.
