How to Reverse Engineer Your Success

“There’s never been more information and knowledge around on how to create success. Yet, so many people feel stuck, frustrated, or like they’re spinning their wheels. That was me at one point. I would go to all the seminars, webinars and listen to all this material; but I had little to no results to show for it. That’s when I created ‘The 1% Rule.’”

Why Is This Important?

“The 1% Rule is a system where you create a bold vision for your life, but we don’t just stop there. We reverse engineer it all the way to what we do today. In all my years of coaching, consulting and working with clients, the biggest thing is giving them a daily process so they can get one percent better and move toward their vision. It’s only a matter of time until all of those big dreams start to come to life.”

What Are the Key Lessons Learned Here?

“It’s easy to get lost in the details. The biggest tragedy is when someone creates a vision but then never moves toward it because there are so many distractions and opportunity costs, not only in terms of potential achievement, but also in terms of fulfillment and impact they’re able to create.”
