Summary: The Slight Edge

by Alex Newton

Part How it Works 1. The Idler and the Wealthy First off, let's tell a story about two individuals who are identical in many ways. They grew up together and went to the same school, even going as far as graduating together and sharing the same room in college. Being pretty decent individuals, everybody seemed to get along with them, and they even shared the same drive to make up for their mischievous years in high school. Their only difference were the life paths they decided to take. The first individual dropped out of college and moved to Daytona Beach, Florida where he could chase girls, grow his hair out, and just not give any care in the world. He had the nickname of ‘Gorgeous George,’ but he was still an idler trying to make ends meet, working as a ball boy for the wealthy golfers. Eventually becoming frustrated and fed-up with how unhappy he was, ‘Gorgeous George’ moved back to his hometown to start his own business. What happened next caused him to lose everything he had ever worked for. The second individual continued on through college and eventually graduated, moving onto business school. Graduating at the top of his class, he was soon recruited by a big tech company. He continued to build his resume, even having multiple adventures that turned rather successful, growing from the prior. Today he has a beautiful daughter, has hundreds of friends worldwide, is the owner of a record breaking and successful company, along with being the happiest man in the world. The only thing that remained the same throughout these two individuals’ lives was the fact that they continued to stay in very close contact with one another. Thinking of these two individuals and their vastly different lives, you would have never expected them to be the same exact person, but they are. The average idler who dropped out of college is still the same person as the happy millionaire who owns his own business. The only thing that changed in these two individuals’ lives was being introduced to the slight edge where you, too, will be introduced.
