Extreme outcomes require extreme inputs.

If you're reading this, you've probably got ambitious career and money goals.

I'd bet you want a top 1% income. But the activity comes first.

And surprisingly - it's easier than you might think.

Firstly, 2 resources that I like for this:

Peter Theil has a question he asks people: how can you achieve your 10 year plan in the next 6 months?

Ask it!

Remove the constraints you've given yourself.

Grant Cardone has a great book - The 10x Rule.

I initially dismissed it, thinking reading the title was a summary of the entire book.

But the book is solid.

2 points:

• Set your goals 10x higher
• Set your activity 10x higher

Let's run a thought experiment:

Gun to your head... could you 10x your output in the next year?

I'm guessing it's a no from you.

It sounds like a lot of effort.

Maybe you could do it. Probably not.

On the other hand... could you increase your output by 5% this week?

That's much easier.

After all, if you're calling 100 people, it's just 5 more.

If you email 100 people, it's just 5 more.

Marginal.

Now for the crazy thing. It's wild what happens when you increase output by 5% every week for a year:

3% every week becomes 4.6x the output

6% every week becomes 20.7x the output

I guess at this point I should start shilling some crypto shitcoin with 6% weekly interest.

But seriously. As you get ready for the week... ask yourself: what can I do 5% better?

3 steps:

1: Get a spreadsheet going.

2: Work out what you're going to track.

3: Give yourself permission to start small. You only need a 5% increase THIS week.

You have a huge amount of time to make a very marginal improvement. It's a fun game to play.

And Your advantage grows.
