Understanding The 1% Principle Of Success
Why Most People Are Failing Without Realizing It
So you want to be Successful?
You will hear "All" sorts of Advice about how to Attain Success.
The Truth?
Most of it is Useless.
Why?
The “You” Difference
Well, a lot of it has to do with You Needing to become the Best Version of "You" to Succeed at the Highest Levels.
Most Advice is about A Specific Person's Version of Success, that is Not Yours.
So, people Chase someone else's Path.
Always Failing.
However, there is Some Advice that works really well for Basically Everyone.
Why?
It is because it is a Specific Enough Component of Success, while Simultaneously Allowing It to Be Adjusted to "Your" Version of Success.
One of the Classic Lessons?
The 1% Principle of Success.
Understanding The 1% Principle Of Success
It Essentially Works like this...
If you want to Become the Best Version of You, then You Must Improve by 1% Every Day.
Just by Improving 1%, You'll Reach Higher Heights than you Ever Imagined.
But it Sounds Too Good to be True...
Right?
Well, actually No.
This is one of those Lessons where the Subtleties Reveal something Fascinating.
There is Another Aspect to this Principle that you Must Also Understand to get the "Full" Picture.
There is No Such Thing as Stagnation.
Throughout our Lives, we are Either Growing or Decaying.
It might be Slow.
It might be Not be Visible.
But it Adds Up Over Time.
We can actually See How it works with this Wonderful thing all the kids are talking about...
Math.
How It Plays Out
Now, don't worry, I'll do "All" the Calculations for you, but you're welcome to Check the Work if you are in Doubt.
If we take the 1% Principle as a Concept, we are Either Growing or Decaying.
We will say you are Growing by 1% or Decaying by 1% Daily.
So, this means that at the End of the Day, if you're Growing you'll be at 101% (or 1.01) of where you were at the beginning of the day.
If you're Decaying you'll be at 99% (or .99) of where you were at the beginning of the day.
Now, you might think that if You Grow 1 Day and Decay 1 Day, you'll end up back where you started.
But is that True?
If you start at 100% (or 1.00), and you have 1 Growth Day and 1 Decay Day, what happens?
Well, 1.00 * 1.01 * .99 = .9999
Oh...
Do you see what Happened?
The Problem Of Decay
The Decay works Faster than the Growth.
If you an equal amount of Decay Days and Growth Days, then Over Time, you'll be Worse than Where You Began.
We actually "See" this Happen.
Many people are Required to Go to School for a Number of Years, where Growth Occurs.
Then, they Stop Learning.
They Might Learn "Enough" to Keep a Job, but that is about it.
Over time?
Many of them become "Functionally Illiterate" because they Stopped Reading (because it was not required).
They Decay and become Worse than they were in High School or College.
Often they begin to Reminisce about the "Glory Days" of their School Days.
This is a Simple Result of the 1% Principle in Decay.
Overcoming Decay
If we want to "Barely" Overcome Decay, we must Grow "At Least" 4 of 7 Days a Week.
It Looks Like This...
1.00 * 1.01^4 * .99^3 = 1.0096970303
Over a Year (Or 52 Weeks)?
1.0096970303^52 = 1.6517187697
This becomes 165.17%, which is an Improvement, but not a "Great" Improvement.
But when we Look at People who have the Greatest Success, what is one of the #1 Thing they Do?
The Power Of Consistency
They Consistently Move Forward.
They Improve by 1%, Day...
After Day...
After Day.
Most of it is Monotonous.
No one Hears Anything About Them.
But what Occurs?
One Day, Seemingly "Out of Nowhere" they become an "Overnight Success".
This is Not the Truth though.
They Simply had "Many" 1% Days that only became Visible Over Tie.
Let's look at Taking that 1% Every Day, for 365 Days.
What Happens?
Well, the Equation becomes 1.01^365 = 37.7834343329
If we started at 100%, then by Improving 1% Every Day you end up at 3,778.34% by the End of the Year.
This is how People "Blow Up" Suddenly and "Stay" Successful.
They have been Applying the 1% Principle until they are "So Far" Ahead that it Becomes Impossible to Miss Them.
This is the Power of Consistency!
This is the Power of the 1% Principle!

Psychophysiological Mastery
For Paid Subscribers
So you think that the 1% Principle is Incredible?
Well, Psychophysiology shows us that the 1% Principle is Child’s Play in Comparison to what is Possible.
Both Positively “And” Negatively.
The Key Words you must Understand are “Flow States” and “Burnout”.
These are Psychophysiological Extremes and they Play Our “Very” Interestingly when it comes to Success.
