How 1% Rule Guarantees 365% Success?
And it’s easy as eating a piece of cake, daily!
Tiger Woods is a living legend. We know have seen his success. Some people call him lucky. Others label him as a natural. But what most people don’t know is he started playing when he was 13 years old.
18 hours every day, for about 6 years, made him the best golfer in the world. If you divide his hard work, you can easily notice the 1% work he did daily to improve his craft.
That’s how you succeed. The 1% rule is all about doing your thing 1 day at a time.
Whether it is writing, painting, sports, or running a business, if you aim to do one thing that benefits your business, you succeed over time.
How 1% rule helped me become a better writer?
When I started writing, 4 years from now, I was having doubts about my writing. I was doing blogging as a hobby, but being an engineer, it was challenging for me to think that I can become a full-time writer.
But life operates in mysterious ways. My mentor told me to take things one day at a time. I was not aware of the 1% rule, but I was following it unintentionally.
I wrote one page, 365 days, for three years.
Even on days I didn’t want to write; I forced myself to write.
Instead of complaining, moaning, arguing, and making long to-do lists, fall in love with the process.
If you love the daily grind, celebrate the small wins, capture the beautiful moments, you’ll do just fine.
If you want to succeed in life, start small and go big.
How to apply the 1% rule in life?
John Grisham is a prolific writer with tons of best-selling books under his name. When asked in an interview his secret to success, he said, “I write one day a day, regardless of how the day goes.”
If you plan to write a book, begin by writing one page a day, and within and year, your book will be ready.
The 1% rule can be applied to everything in life, from personal life to professional success. Begin each day by doing one thing that brings you closer to your grand goal.
Don’t worry about the result. Try to love the process. When you focus on the process, the result will be better than you’ve imagined.
Even if you don’t love your current job, you can always start a side-hustle and do 1% every day to improve your craft, take one project a day and invest one hour in improving your craft.
If you follow the 1% rule over a month, you’ll get 365% better than your competitors.
Don’t worry about what will happen in a year. If you focus on the 1% rule, there is a good chance that you’ll gradually improve, and soon people will label you an overnight success, but you and I both know that overnight success starts with the 1% rule.
