Indulging in Behavior of the Bottom 80%

Penetrating Insights and Uncommon Results

The first episode of the?Strategic Literacy: The Unique Approach to Reading to Get Uncommon Results program has?just premiered for Insiders and Legacy members. It is designed to help our members develop a very powerful skill.

An ability to read in a way that leads to uncommon results.

Many people like to read but devalue books as a format for the transfer of knowledge:?

• They read to gain knowledge.
• But they devalue books as a format for the transfer of knowledge so much that when they buy one, they want to see more pages. They get upset if they spend $50 on a book and it has less than 300 or 400 pages.
• That is one of the biggest reasons we locked almost all our premier books, over 30 books, within the Strategy Control Room (Advanced Level), along with a huge library of advanced strategy, problem-solving,?results-oriented leadership, and business-building reading materials.
• For many people, the volume of what they read is the value of what they read.

In this new program, we're going to show you some of the techniques we use to read and create those penetrating insights and processes we employ to analyze issues. As a starting point, neither Michael nor I really?like to read. We have to read. We have to read not because we want to gain knowledge but because we need to gain knowledge to put in place actions that move our businesses forward, and the careers and businesses of our clients forward. But we use very different processes in the way we read versus what is used by most people, even among top performers.

One of the most common approaches people use when they want to make the most from reading is they read a book and create a file listing essential techniques, tools, phrases, concepts, and so on that they found in the book. They have this for each book they've read.? And they think this is a valuable process, keeping this depository of knowledge carefully curated and stored. Unfortunately, this method's output (ROI) is generally insufficient to justify the required input. More than that...? ?

If you act like an average ambitious person, you will likely achieve the results of an average ambitious person.?

Take any population- the entire United States, or all of Canada, or the whole United Kindom, or all management consultants in the United States, or all people working for large tech companies in the United States- and you will find them arranged 1%, 4%, 15%, 40%, and 40% in success terms.? The top 1% are the most successful part of the population. 4% are relatively successful. 15% are earning a good living. 40% are getting by. And 40% are struggling. Your skills, attitude, and behavior determine your place within this pyramid.

If you want to be in the top 20% and ideally the top 5%, you want to refrain from indulging in a single behavior, approach, or even thought of the bottom 80%. If you behave like them, think like them, and use their approaches, you will secure your space at THEIR level of the pyramid.?

In this program, we're going to present: ?

A more robust system for reading that you can follow to take action in your life that leads to meaningful changes.

We will show you why some of the things you do when you read that you think are helpful may actually hold you back at the bottom of the pyramid and prevent you from being the kind of leader you can be. We've never revealed these techniques before. It's the first time we'll reveal them and it's one of our most exciting programs.
