The 1% Project: Overview

On recent quest for self improvement I stumbled upon a book entitled The 1% Solution: How to Make Your Next 30 Days The Best Ever by Tom Connellan.  Honestly, I was skeptical at first about how different a person could become in 30 days and how much of a difference a measly 1% could make in a person's life.  However, now that I'm about 75% of the way through the book, I have never been so inspired to try and make a difference in my life.

The book talks about how making small changes in your life can have big results.  "We can all be 1% better at 100s of things," the book says.  I'm not sure that right now I have the ability or the time to be better at 100s of things, but there are a few key areas of my life where making 1% improvements could have a big impact.  You see, these 1% improvements compound and while you started out 1% better at something, before you know it you may be 50% better at something, you just have to keep practicing!

For too long, I've been stuck in the mindset that I wasn't good enough, or talented enough, or smart enough to achieve my goals.  I was willing to take a backseat in my own life and just let things happen to me, but no more!  It's time I go for what I want and make the 1% solution start for me!!
