Chapter 1

General Hereford grunted under the heavy acceleration. It drove him back into his seat and made each drawn breath a little harder than he’d like. Maybe he really was too old for this sort of thing.

“There is zero chance you’ll get anywhere if you allow yourself to become paralyzed by soft excuses and countless reasons why you’ll never get to where you want to be.”
Tim S. Grover, Relentless: From Good to Great to Unstoppable

“That’s the genius of the 64/4 rule! Applying the 80/20 rule to the top 20% yields 4% (20% × 20% = 4%). In other words, 4% of inputs produce 64% of results (80% × 80% = 64%). This is the 64/4 rule. The 64/4 rule is exciting, because it means that you can leverage a mere 4% of your time, team, or budget to produce massive results—more than half, or 64%. The million-dollar question is—what’s in that top 4%?”
Aurora Winter, Turn Words Into Wealth: Blueprint for Your Business, Brand, and Book
