Do Not Let the 80/20 Principle Mislead You, With John Vespasian

Filed in Podcasts, Previous Episodes on June 6, 2017 0 Comments

The 80/20 principle is often considered to be the ultimate shortcut to success. However, it can be misleading. 

This principle cannot help you set lifetime goals that matter. It cannot create a future that is meaningful.

The only way to create successful goals is to use a rational philosophy.

Join Adam and guest John Vespasian as they discuss the truth about the 80/20 principle and why shortcuts do not work.

In this call, you will learn:

  • Why most shortcuts to success fail.
  • The importance of leading a balanced life.
  • Why unbridled positive thinking can severely mess up your life.
  • How to let go of habits that destroy your effectiveness.
  • Why it is crucially important to learn from history.
  • The key to making progress in good and bad times.
