The Pareto Principle, also known as the 80/20 rule, discovered by Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, stands for the proposition that 80% of outcomes come from 20% of causes for any event.
Well, what if someone turned the Pareto Principle on its head and told you that all you had left was a 20% chance of success at the challenge you were currently facing?
What would you do?
Would you go all in and hope for the best?
Or would you give up and quit because the chances are just too low?
That’s the situation we faced recently when my sister was told if she opted for the smallest amputation possible (half the foot), she only had about a 20% chance of healing from that surgery.
What was her highest chance of success? Amputate to just below the knee.
When you’re at the lowest point in your life — you’re beaten and bruised and all you want is the pain to stop — do you take the safer bet, or do you fight for that 20%?
That’s what we’re talking about over at the Bliss’n Up Podcast today.
And here’s the reason I want you to listen:
Because there may come a time in your life when you’re down to your 20% and you will need to have heard this episode.
But more importantly, there may be things in your life you’re NOT yet prioritizing because you’re not down to the last 20%.
Today’s episode may be exactly what you need to hear to shift the momentum in your life before it takes on a life of its own.
