Hey, it worked for me. I'm always reading (usually two or three books at a time), and much of what I read is with the intention of myself, my company, and my ability to do business and make a profit improving.

with that in mind, I want to start sharing book recommendations with my blog readers. I do not know how many times I'll post books, but stay tuned. There is so much that I think you'll find useful

Perry Marshall 80/20 Sales and Marketing :. The definitive guide for less work and make more is a great place to start

Here are some takeaways from high level to pique your interest

essentially is this: .. the 80/20 rule states that a small minority of your activities produce the majority of. Results

For example:
• 80% of sales are made by 20% of salespeople on your team
• 80% of traffic drives on 20% of the streets of your city
• 80% of the profit you earn is the result of 20% of the tasks you perform

you can not have thought that way before, but you know intrinsically, it is true.

This is not a new concept. Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto describes the 80/20 rule there over a century. This book will make you think about how to implement new ways

To this end, Marshall takes the 80/20 rule even further. explains that the top 4% (20% of 20%) 64% product (80% to 80%) results.

In other words, there are some key things you can focus on to become more productive, profitable and happy. It is for you to understand what these activities are and put your efforts there.

There are a few key people who can have the greatest impact on your life and business. It is your responsibility to find out who are these people and give them the appropriate amount of attention.

1. You get to decide what gets your attention, time and resources; if you spend your time, energy and money on the 20% of things, you will dramatically increase your productivity and lower your stress levels (caused by outside forces your work on the things that matter very little and could better be delegated or outsourced)
2. focus on these things helps you move forward (faster, easier) to your goals, whatever they are
3 . you can stop doing things that "move the needle" not

One last thing: the majority of people (80% or so) will never do anything with this information. But 20% which will be much better.

I encourage you to be part of the minority.
