This book has as one of the best books written about the implementation. Jeff Olson is a successful entrepreneur and what distinguishes this book is that it talks about philosophy. Have you ever driven at the Office and when you got it almost forgot you ran? Basically, it is wont to run so ingrained that it requires no thought. This is the whole concept of small edge behaviour.
Why is this important? Think about these 9 incredible statistics:
1. the Average American eats 158 pounds of sugar per year. Processed sugar create mood swings and deep crashes.
2.33% of adults are overweight
3.33% of high school graduates never read another book for the rest of their lives
4.42% of college graduates never read another book after college
5. There were 1.5 million new bankruptcy filings in the last 12 months.
6. major pharmaceutical companies make billions of dollars each year on Ritalin, Prozac, Xanax and other mind altering drugs.
7.43% of American families spend more than they earn each year
8. Average households carry out $ 8,000 in credit card debt.
9. the average person will spend 26 hours a week watching TV and surfing the Web.
These are all examples of poor small edge behaviour. The great Jim Rohn said "what is easy to do is also easy not to." This interpretation has real powers and is the key to real success and happiness no matter how you define it.
Small edge work always. The human condition, you control either expanding or contracting. There is no stable state.
When a child is born, is a day closer to death. This is not a cruel thing, it's just our reality. This is the paradox that makes life so valuable.
What would you do if you had a choice of either $ 1 million dollars a day or your money which doubled every day 31 days starting with a penny? Two people out of ten would choose penny. The other 8 would include $ 1 million. After 31 days of doubling, you would have $ 10 million dollars. This is the concept of interest-the eighth wonder of the world. 8 persons could also simply activate its financial future over to a stock broker or financial planner without taking responsibility for the results themselves. I suppose, then, everyone's pension at issue. -WISDOM is expensive!
Small edge works the same way. If you eat a Big Mac and fries today, you are not unhealthy today but allows for three meals per day for 30 days and you will virtually kill yourself. Watch the movie Super size me for more information.
Small edge consists in a nutshell, daily habits, you make that can magnify your results with very simple changes. Think of this in a minute. If you cut 145 calories per day-i.e. one can of soda, you know that you would be brighter with 45 pounds in three years? This is a very simple thing to do and a very simple thing not to do. For speech-geeks, here's the math: 145 calories x 1095/3500 equal 45 kilos. The opposite applies if you add 145 calories per day. Lead 45 kilos of extra pleasure!
Taking an inventory can be one of the main and back – things you will ever make. You will see things you had no idea you were doing or how much it really is.
I challenge you to take an inventory of how you use your time. For a week, directory, you can do from the moment you get up to the time you go to bed. If you drive to work, listening to morning radio or a learning CD? How long is commuting? When you get home, you crack a beer and turn the TV on for the next 4 hours until the bed?
Now the directory where you spend your money. For a week, write down every penny you spend, and you will be shocked where it goes. Point to make this shines light on what really happens in your life.
Remember the example small edge of either adding or subtracting just 145 calories per day? The result after three years is a proliferation of 90 pounds. Everything you do has a small edge effect and is just up to you whether that effect is positive or negative.
Small edge is a good book and I was able to continue to write about the effects that the book has had on me. About 18 months ago I kicked up my reading requirements each week with slight edge philosophy. With this philosophy has made a huge difference in my efficiency at work, as well as the creation of this website.
My opinion on this is really simple. Your average book has 200 pages and the authors typically has 20 years of solid experience in their fields if they are good. If you read only 12 books per year you will get 240 man-year knowledge. If you think about this, you can achieve anything This is the essence of small edge behaviour.
I hope you find this brief summary useful. The key to any new idea is to work it into your daily routine until it becomes habit. Habits form in as little as 21 days.
One thing that you can remove from this paper is to understand small edge. This is more of a philosophy but understands that each daily routine that you have a complex effect over time in a positive or negative way. Small edge work always. Think of this as gravity. You can believe it does not exist but the jump of a four-story building, and you know that there are serious. This is the same with the small edge behaviour.
