Pareto principle
The Pareto Principle asserts that only a "vital few" peapods produce the majority of peas. The Pareto principle (also known as the 80/20 rule, the law of the vital few, or the principle of factor sparsity)[1][2] states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes.[3] Management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who noted the 80/20 connection while at the University of Lausanne in 1896, as published in his first work, Cours d'économie politique. Essentially, Pareto showed that approximately 80% of the land in Italy was owned by 20% of the population. It is an axiom of business management that "80% of sales come from 20% of clients".[4] Richard Koch authored the book, The 80/20 Principle, which illustrated some practical applications of the Pareto principle in business management and life.[5] The Pareto principle is only tangentially related to Pareto efficiency.

Nine Things Successful People Do Differently - Heidi Grant Halvorson
Learn more about the science of success with Heidi Grant Halvorson’s HBR Single, based on this blog post. Why have you been so successful in reaching some of your goals, but not others? If you aren’t sure, you are far from alone in your confusion. 1. To seize the moment, decide when and where you will take each action you want to take, in advance. 3. Fortunately, decades of research suggest that the belief in fixed ability is completely wrong — abilities of all kinds are profoundly malleable. The good news is, if you aren’t particularly gritty now, there is something you can do about it. 7. To build willpower, take on a challenge that requires you to do something you’d honestly rather not do. 8. 9. If you want to change your ways, ask yourself, What will I do instead? It is my hope that, after reading about the nine things successful people do differently, you have gained some insight into all the things you have been doing right all along.

25 Things Writers Should Stop Doing
I read this cool article last week — “30 Things To Stop Doing To Yourself” — and I thought, hey, heeeey, that’s interesting. Writers might could use their own version of that. So, I started to cobble one together. And, of course, as most of these writing-related posts become, it ended up that for the most part I’m sitting here in the blog yelling at myself first and foremost. That is, then, how you should read this: me, yelling at me. Then go forth and kick your writing year in the teeth. Onto the list. 1. Right here is your story. 2. Momentum is everything. 3. You have a voice. 4. Worry is some useless shit. 5. The rise of self-publishing has seen a comparative surge forward in quantity. 6. I said “stop hurrying,” not “stand still and fall asleep.” 7. It’s not going to get any easier, and why should it? 8. 9. The mind is the writer’s best weapon. 10. Complaining — like worry, like regret, like that little knob on the toaster that tells you it’ll make the toast darker — does nothing. 11.
15 Ways To Stabilize So Your Dreams Can Materialize | Creative Life & Internet Marketing
Set and Then Forget… (at least for a little while) As an aggressive entrepreneur, I was ready to conquer the world at a very young age. My plan was to out-work, out-innovate, and out-run my competition at all costs until I was financially free. I started a lawn mowing business… then a custom T-shirt business… and then a motivational poster business… After several years of intense entrepreneurship, I had reached my mid-20’s… and I was still broke. Stabilize Your Finances Financial stability starts with steady income and low expenses, NOT with a great investment or the next great entrepreneurial idea. I always wanted to put risk before stability, but it’s actually the other way around. 1. As a free spirit, I’ve always hated “workin’ for the man.” I’d put in my resignation and set out on my next business adventure. Entrepreneurs: Don’t Jump Too Soon As an entrepreneur coach, I see the same situation over and over again. My advice is always something they don’t want to hear: 2. 3. 4. 5. 1. 2.
Education is undergoing a startling revolution: Let’s support it!
Rob Nail, CEO Singularity University[/caption] Education is undergoing an incredible and exciting transformation, but I can’t help but wonder if the “experts” can’t see the forest for the trees. We are continuing to see roiling debates from the likes of my colleagues such as Vivek Wadhwa and Peter Thiel over whether kids should go to college or not, administrations battling technologists over whether they need to flip the classroom, and politicians forcing us to pick sides as if there were only two options – all the while missing the extraordinary revolution taking place around us. Unfortunately, education is a uniquely complicated industry. If we want to hasten the transformation of education, we should not only acknowledge that we are in the awkward early growth stage but fully embrace it. And today, there are a lot of really cool new things to watch, try, and support. We are witness to and able to participate in an extraordinary and empowering social transformation.
Make Serendipity Work for You - Mark de Rond, Adrian Moorhouse, and Matt Rogan
by Mark de Rond, Adrian Moorhouse, and Matt Rogan | 8:22 AM February 25, 2011 Serendipity has been voted one of the most popular words in the English language. It is also one of the hardest to translate. Conversationally, it is used as tantamount to luck, providence or chance. It has brought us Aspirin, the Pill, insulin, Viagra, penicillin, antihistamines and the smallpox vaccine, Scotchgard, Teflon, Velcro, Nylon, Ivory Soap, the Post-It note, and the technology behind the HP Inkjet printer. Google outgoing CEO Eric Schmidt liked to think of his online search tool as a “serendipity engine.” All the above discoveries were serendipitous, yet much less lucky than popularly believed. Horace Walpole, in 1754, retold an exciting old Arab tale . The princes did far more than make chance observations. So how might serendipity help us refine our understanding of innovation? 1. If serendipity is a capability, then how is it developed, protected and sustained?
