Turning Simple Disciplines into Massive Success and Happinessby Jeff Olson |
“If we would just keep doing the things that got us from failure up to survival in the first place, the things we already know how to do and were already doing, they would eventually carry us all the way to success.”JEFF OLSON |
BIG IDEA
What is the Slight Edge?
FROM THE BOOK“The things that take you out of failure and up toward survival and success are simple.
So simple, in fact, that it’s easy to overlook them. Extremely easy to overlook them. It’s easy to overlook them because when you look at them, they seem insignificant. They’re not big, sweeping things that take huge effort. They’re not heroic or dramatic. Mostly they’re just little things you do every day and that nobody else even notices. They are things that are so simple to do—yet successful people actually do them, while unsuccessful people only look at them and don’t take action.
Things like taking a few dollars out of a paycheck, putting it into savings, and leaving it there. Or doing a few minutes of exercise every day—and not skipping it. Or reading ten pages of an inspiring, educational, life-changing book every day. Or taking a moment to tell someone how much you appreciate them, and doing that consistently, every day, for months and years. Little things that seem insignificant in the doing, yet when compounded over time yield very big results.
You could call these ‘little virtues’ or ‘success habits.’ I call them simple daily disciplines. Simple productive actions, repeated consistently over time.
That, in a nut shell, is the slight edge.”

Brian's Notes
The Slight Edge.
Simple daily disciplines. Repeated consistently. Over time. Equals MASSIVE success.
Note: Please pay special attention to the frequency of “every day.”
These aren’t “once in a while” disciplines. Or “when you feel like it” disciplines. They are DAILY disciplines.
SUPER simple stuff. Really easy to do. And, as Jeff says throughout the book, also super easy *not* to do. Your life won’t change magically the day you workout for 30 minutes. Nor will it blow up if you miss a day. But… If you were to do that little thing every day for a month? A year? A decade? Massive results.
What’s most exciting about this is that YOU ALREADY KNOW what to do. You do it when you’re on. All we need to do is to get you to more consistently rock it, eh?!
So, what are YOUR little virtues or success habits? Your simple daily disciplines?
Now a good time to start rockin’ them day in and day out? :)
