Ever heard of Pareto's Principle?

It's a game-changer because it helps us to realise that working harder isn’t always the smartest move. In fact, it can often be downright counterproductive!

Why? Because only a small portion of what we do actually makes a big difference. Pareto nailed it when he showed that typically, 20% of our efforts lead to 80% of our results.

 Think about it:

 - 20% of your marketing efforts often drive a whopping 80% of your sales.

- Just 20% of your services or products usually account for 80% of your best sellers.

- 20% of what you learn and implement usually brings in 80% of the impact.

- 20% of your limiting beliefs and mindset blocks cab account for a whopping 80% of what holds you back!

But without realising it, we could be pouring most of our time, energy, money, and focus into things that barely move the needle.

Let's change that - for you and your business.

In this week’s podcast episode, I'm diving deep into Pareto's Principle and giving you practical steps to ensure you're truly benefiting from those magical numbers—80:20—in the right direction.

I'd love to hear your insights after you look at what you're doing through this new lens. You can send me a DM via the links below.

Best wishes as always.
