Secrets of the 80/20 Principle revealed!

Find your "critical 20%" and transform your time - and life - forever! The 80/20 principle - also known as the Pareto principle - is the well-verified observation that in business, economics, and life generally, about 80 percent of all results flow from a mere 20 percent of our efforts. In this thought-provoking and highly informative program, Richard Koch unveils the secrets to how this mysterious but practical principle actually works... how it is affecting your life right now... and how you can start using it to your advantage. You'll learn:

• How to identify the critical 20% in every area of your life
• How to give up the guilt of not working as hard as you think you're supposed to
• Why "time management" is a counter-productive fallacy
• The six things successful 80/20 practitioners do differently than you
• How to make the 80/20 Principle work for you in your job, even when you don't have total control over your time
• What the 80/20 Principle can teach you about who to hire
• How to avoid dooming yourself to life as a wage slave
• How the 80/20 principle can multiply your money
• And much more!

The unspoken corollary of the 80/20 principle is that little of what you spend your time on actually enriches your life. But by concentrating instead on the few things that do matter, you can unlock the enormous potential of the critical 20 percent and multiply your happiness and fulfillment. When you learn how to systematically apply the 80/20 principle, you will finally have the power to transcend the pressures of modern life: to become more successful and to enjoy more leisure, serenity, and great relationships with friends and loved ones.

Life changing and awesome audiobook

Many years ago I started with 80-20 principles and changed my business and life completely. Probably 20 y after I listen to this audiobook and its time for another re- creation of my self. It works, it makes huge difference and results are unbelievable.Then I gave up all my clients instantly just by realization that this is not what I want to do. Was it hard? Yes! Was it worth it ? Yes. Anything new in my life nope. So why not make your true potential express it self correctly.Why work with people you don’t want to be around? Why expose your self to anything you don’t like. Why not just do what you like and want to do and be a lot happier 🙃

Inspiring and hopeful for our human potential

The book presents a refreshing way to think about productivity and usage of our time. Highly recommend for anyone who wants to do more with less.

great book!

this book is very simple and clarified a lot of things we tend to look at in our everyday lives...

very enlightening

It went too fast. He said 80 percent in 20 percent of a book. Excellent.

cliche book about efficiency

the 80 20 principal is useful in that it shows us that most behaviors we use are not that beneficial. which means we should not fret over small time inefficieny losses. I generally did not agree with the goal that we should be happy. pursuing happiness is unreliable and does not get things done. also the 8020 principle assumes a perfect ratio in most things. This is unlikely as all behaviors have percent variations. I would listen to this book a few times to get the most put of it. the content is technical but good.

indispensable knowledge for advancing my career

a fantastic construct for thinking and prioritizing. put in words what I needed to hear in a way that I was compelled to ingest. now I must apply the learnings.
