Read on your PC, Mac, smart phone, tablet or Kindle device In the first chapter, Jeff Olson introduces his readers to the idea that every single person on this planet has the potential to either turn into a poor, unsuccessful beach bum, or into a successful entrepreneur with a huge balance on his bank account. He tells his own story — about how he went from failure to success to another failure, and how he slowly learned that failure and success both happen for the same reason, and that this one single reason can either work for or against you, depending on how you use it.

The reader is motivated by reading on because they would like to know more about the idea that people have complete control about the direction their life is taking.

This special 10th anniversary edition of an enduring classic provides a crystal clear picture of why focus is even more vital today in determining future success. The choice the wealthy man offered his two sons is the same choice the world offers you, every day, every hour: sickness or health; sinking poverty or abundant wealth; deepening loneliness and alienation or a rich and growing circle of friends. It will keep you paddling until your cream becomes butter.

It will give you the power to choose what to plant in your life, so that you will end up completely blanketing the surface of the pond with the blossoms of your choice. One wins, the other does not.

They have all had the exact same opportunity. But the great majority of them, faced with exactly the same opportunities, have gone nowhere.

Nor is it timing, nor fate. Actually, it was quite the opposite. In every case, I did the exact same thing every time, using ridiculously simple strategies made up of ridiculously simple lists of ridiculously simple actions.

The strategies I used—none of them invented or devised by me, incidentally—are so simple that if you and I sat down together in a room for twenty minutes, I could show you exactly what I did to create four different, separate, independent multimillion-dollar organizations—and teach you how to do the exact same thing.

In twenty minutes. Why not? Because how to do it is not the issue. People everywhere are clamoring for the formula, the secret, the path to improve their lives. Tell me how you did this, so I can do it, too. Give me the definitive plan. Tell me how to be healthy. Tell me how to be rich. Tell me how to be happy. Tell me, tell me, tell me How to do it is not the issue. And most of us are none of those things.

We already have enough of those—maybe more than enough. Because what you need to transform your life is not more information. It may work for me, but it may not be the how-to that works for you. There is a secret that, once you know it, will cause you to find those answers, apply them, live them, and achieve those results you want. The secret ingredient is your philosophy. The secret is to change the way you think. It simply means changing your thinking. Your philosophy.

So, what I need is an attitude adjustment Your emotions change. You feel like doing your twenty minutes on the treadmill. To find the path to success, you have to back up one more step. Your philosophy is what you know, how you hold it, and how it affects what you do. Yes, you have to know the winning how-to actions, and you have to possess the winning attitudes—but what generates all that and keeps it all in place is your philosophy.

A negative philosophy turns into a negative attitude, which turns into negative actions, which turn into negative results, which turn into a negative lifestyle. Life Wisdom What do I mean by philosophy? Not something lofty or abstract; not something you need to go to graduate school or learn Greek to understand. I mean something so simple, so basic, a six-year-old child can understand it. Here is an example.

Do the thing, and you shall have the power. The sort of wisdom you can actually apply in everyday life. There are two prevalent types of attitudes: entitled and value-driven. Your philosophy is what you know, how you hold what you know, and how it affects what you do. Watson, Sr. It had better be an option! Because not only did Babe Ruth set a world record for home runs, he also led the league in strikeouts. The next two years he grew four inches, honed his game … and the rest, as they say, is history.

Abraham Lincoln had an extraordinary record of lost elections and publicoffice failures over the course of his career. For the ungainly lawyer from Illinois, failure was not only an option, it was practically his specialty. In his efforts to find a stable filament to make his electric light bulb invention work, he tried out thousands of different versions and every single one failed.

The Slight Edge Philosophy Your philosophy is your view of life, something beyond feelings and attitudes. Your philosophy drives your attitudes and feelings, which drive your actions. By and large, people are looking in the wrong places. They happen through the Slight Edge. The purpose of this book is to have you understand the Slight Edge philosophy, to make it part of how you see the world and how you live your life every day. To understand patience; to understand that little steps, compounded, do make a difference.

That they not only make a difference—they make all the difference. Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do. There is a natural progression to everything in life: plant, cultivate, harvest. Then go back regularly and read through just those highlighted sections: your own personal guide to the Slight Edge philosophy. The Slight Edge is also the philosophy embodied in the three stories you read in the beginning of this book.

It is understanding the tremendous potential of something as seemingly insignificant as a penny. It is knowing how to recognize and harness the power of the water hyacinth. Just Add Life and Stir The Slight Edge will help you apply all the information you learn from the health book, the sales book, the investment book, the positive attitude book.

The Slight Edge is the book you need to read, highlight and reread along with your fitness class, your career planning, your continuing education and pursuit of new skills.

The Slight Edge will prepare you to be able to absorb all that other information, guidance and education from all those other books, classes, situations and experiences.

Whatever your deepest desires are in life, I want you to have them, and I know you can. But you need a place to start. The Slight Edge is that starting point. Key Points of Chapter 1 People everywhere are clamoring for the formula, the secret ingredient, the path to improve their lives.

The secret ingredient is your philosophy: what you know, how you hold it and how it affects what you do. They not only make a difference—they make all the difference. Apply the Slight Edge Principles and Stir! I have used the principles of the Slight Edge to improve my physical fitness, starting with one push-up and one sit-up a day, adding another each day and building to over per day. Chunking every project into annual goals, monthly outcomes, weekly agendas and daily disciplines has helped me accomplish massive improvements in every area of life from health to relationships, to communication skills, to finances.

By identifying the daily disciplines in every area of life, I was able to move from cancer to outstanding health; from non-communication with siblings to best friends; from struggling as a single mom to creating a net worth of over 1 million dollars! The Slight Edge principles, compounded over time, will make a massive shift in any area we choose. I have quit focusing as much on the goals, and am focusing more on the little thin gs I do every day, since I can control those.

As a fath of om isd w imparting the. You know whom I mean: that woman with the easy, engaging smile, the one who makes you feel instantly at ease, even as you stand in awe of her accomplishments. People who not only are successful, but also seem to breathe success and fill the space around them with it. They live in beautiful homes, travel to exciting places, fly first class.

Are surrounded by people who love them and admire them. Are appreciated, respected and recognized. Happy, healthy, creative and fulfilled. Winners in the game of life. Why do some families have such great relationships, such warmth and fun and caring closeness, while others are perennially angry with each other, so distrustful and distant they might as well live on different planets?

Why are some people positive and upbeat while others are miserably negative, constantly complaining and criticizing? Why are some people digging deeper and deeper into debt, while others just keep earning more money? Why are some people successful, and some people failures? What Do Successful People Do? Happy versus unhappy marriages, health versus illness, how many retirees barely survive on fixed incomes versus how many reach their golden years in comfort and security.

My observation is that about one person in twenty is achieving a significant measure of his or her goals in life: financial, professional, personal, marital, spiritual, in terms of health, in whatever terms you want to look at.

Ninety-five percent are either failing or falling short. What are the five percent doing that the ninety-five percent are not? There is only one difference.

It is not heredity, education, looks, talent or inheritance. They all understand the Slight Edge and how it is working for or against them. If you will learn to understand and apply the Slight Edge, I will guarantee you that in time—and chances are, less time than you would imagine—you will have what you desire. You will be among the five percent. You will be successful.

And you will achieve those aims, goals and dreams by doing simple things. If you learn to understand and apply the Slight Edge, your life will become filled with hundreds of thousands of small, seemingly insignificant actions—all of them easy to do, none of them mysterious, complex or difficult. And those actions will create your success. If these are things anyone can do, why are only five percent successful?

Fundamentally, we all take pretty much the same actions every day. We eat, sleep, think, feel, talk and listen. We have relationships and friendships. We each have twenty-four hours a day, 8, hours a year, and we each fill these hours one way or the other with a sequence of little tasks and actions, any one of which is seemingly insignificant.

Gold medal marathon runners eat and sleep. So do people who are thirty pounds overweight. Successful entrepreneurs think and feel and have relationships with other people. So do those who are unemployed or even living on the streets.

People who make lots of money read books. People who are broke read books, too. The successful and unsuccessful both do the same basic things in their lives, day in and day out. Yet the things successful people do take them to the top, while the things unsuccessful people do take them down and out.

The difference is their awareness, understanding and use of the Slight Edge in their life and work. Successful winners understand the Slight Edge. Unsuccessful people do not. This is why we are all capable of doing what it takes to be successful. We are all capable of being winners The Slight Edge is always working. For you or against you, the Slight Edge is already, always at work in all our lives.

The purpose of this book is to help you become aware of it—how it is working in your life, every day, every hour, every moment, in every step you take and every choice you make. Easy to Do Easy Not to Do Everything you need to do to transform your life is easy to do. Tapping into the Slight Edge means doing things that are easy. Simple little disciplines that, done consistently over time, will add up to the very biggest accomplishments. Every action you need to take to make any and all of your dreams come true is easy.

So why is it, then, that the masses are unhappy, unhealthy and financially bound? Every action that any of these goals requires is easy to do. Why are these simple yet crucial things easy not to do? But that simple, seemingly insignificant error in judgment, compounded over time, will kill you. It will destroy you and ruin your chances for success.

You can count on it. A simple error in judgment, repeated over time. You can always count on the Slight Edge. And unless you make it work for you, the Slight Edge will work against you. Invisible Results If I could have had a magic wand that day in the Phoenix airport as I sat thinking and having my shoes shined, one of the first things I would have done would have been to wave it at the little pile of paperbacks.

I would have waved the wand and Presto! Because the simple truth is, how you feed your mind is every bit as critical to your happiness as how you feed your body.

Seeing how naturally open-minded and intellectually curious the shoeshine woman was, I have no doubt she would have dove into any one of these books with gusto.

But then we would have run into a problem. If you read ten pages of a good book today, will your life change? Of course not. Like a penny over time, reading ten pages a day would compound, just like that, and create a ten-million-dollar bank of knowledge in her. Would she do it? On day 1, sure. And day 2. And maybe day 3. But would she still be doing it by the end of the week? If she did keep reading, over the course of the year she would have read 3, pages—the equivalent of one or two dozen books of life-transforming material!

Would her life have changed? No question. At least, not today. We live in a result-focused world. We expect to see results, and we expect to see them now. Push the button, the light flicks on. Success is the progressive realization of a worthy ideal. Failure is also just as gradual. And chances are, at the time you actually made those choices, nobody noticed but you. Invisible results. What makes this time different? Nothing—unless you act on it.

My hope for you—my request for you—is that before you reach the last page of this book, you will have put in place a Slight Edge financial plan for yourself so that you are consistently building your equity. Some simple, daily or weekly, or monthly discipline that, over time, will buy your financial freedom. Easy to do? Surprisingly so. Easy not to do? Tragically so. To give you a sense of the cost of waiting, look at the following example. Your friend starts doing it now.

You wait. At the beginning of year 7, you ask your friend how his IRA is doing. Or sixty-four? In fact, best-selling author David Bach has written an excellent book titled Start Late, Finish Rich, addressing exactly that issue.

My point is simply that there is a cost to waiting. Just ask Ramona B. After reading and re-reading the book several times, I began depositing a designated amount from each paycheck into a savings account, which soon became a compound interest-bearing account. It has been amazing to see the results of a simple decision to consistently save. I hope like Ramona you decide to make a Slight Edge commitment to your financial future.

What You Do Matters I am as passionate about personal health and fitness as I am about financial health. I believe your health is your most prized possession. It amazes me how many people pay no attention to their health.

Do you know anyone who would eat a quart of Crisco or a pound of butter a day? Then why do we act like we do? We all do. Fresh fruits and vegetables, complex carbs, salads, whole foods, lean meats, more fish and poultry than beef You know it, I know it, we all know it. So why do so many of us still go out and chow down cheeseburgers and fries every day? Not today. If you ate a cheeseburger and immediately suffered a near-fatal heart attack, would you ever go near a cheeseburger again?

I doubt it. And so do you. It has been said that we dig our graves with our teeth. Eating the burger is just a simple error in judgment. Not eating it, a simple positive action. But compounded over time, it can and will. A simple, positive action. A simple error in judgment. For example, if you read 10 pages of a good book today will you see success? They look the same today. Why do you walk past the exercise bike?

No, of course not. You know what you need to do to stay healthy and feel fit and live a long life. Get your heart rate up, a little over normal, for twenty minutes, three times a week.

You know it, I know it, everyone knows it. But that simple error in judgment, compounded over time, will take you down and out. It is the same with your health, your diet, your exercise, your financial habits, your knowledge, your relationships, your marriage. With anything and everything. With your life. You see one person eating a good meal, and the person next to him eating an awful meal. One person saving a penny, another spending a penny.

One taking a brisk walk, another sitting and watching the news. Is there any difference between the two? Nothing you can see The difference between success and failure is not dramatic. In fact, the difference between success and failure is so subtle, most people miss it. What you do every day matters. Successful people just do the things that seem to make no difference in the act of doing them and they do them over and over and over until the compound effect kicks in. Those little things that will make you successful in life, that will secure your health, your happiness, your fulfillment, your dreams, are simple, subtle, tiny things that nobody will see, nobody will applaud, nobody will even notice.

They are those things that, at the time you do them, often feel like they make absolutely no difference They do. Key Points of Chapter 2 If you learn to understand and apply the Slight Edge, your life will become filled with hundreds of thousands of small, seemingly insignificant actions—all of them easy to do, none of them mysterious, complex or difficult.

These are the actions that will create your success. But that simple error in judgment, compounded over time will ruin your chances for success. I know those steps will ultimately lead to a very successful and fulfilling life. The Slight Some we apply, some st fail to discover— way of living that mo to me, not a tip. It is a rld we live in.

With that thought, I got up the next morning and every morning after that.

I look forward to them. I never thought I would look forward to working out. You have to be pretty well along the path to see any significant results. What keeps you doing this simple thing, day after day? Will power! I just need more will power. Will power is vastly overrated. For most people, will power ends up looking and feeling like some sort of grim self-tyranny, and involves creating an elaborate, artificial reward-and-punishment system.

Do you want to change? If so, I can show you how to tap into the most powerful force for change there is. We do not guarantee that these techniques will work for you.
