The Money’s In The Little Group

Did you know that I received a degree in economics from Denison University?

I know, I know…WHO CARES!

The only reason I bring it up is because I’m talking about statistics (briefly) and trust me, based on my grade int ‘statistics’ when I was at Denison, you only want me talking about ‘stats’ for a brief time!

I am always interested in seeing “The Statistics Of Life” that continue to go unchanged. For example, the fact that, in virtually any industry, occupation, profession, sales organization, company, peer group, etc., only 5% feast while 95% share the table scraps, only 20% earn 6-figure incomes while 80% barely earn a living wage.

These statistics haven’t changed in decades and decades. The internet, plus all the proliferation of and ready access to a plethora of ‘ how-to-succeed’ information and assistance hasn’t altered these stats one bit. Not even one teensy, weentsy, eenie, meenie, iota.

And this is not coincidental; there are 5% who ALWAYS participate and eagerly, aggressively seek out information, who ALWAYS invest in improving their own know-how, 20% who OFTEN do so, 80% who NEVER do so.

Just for example, I recently was visiting some friends out of town and they had a seminar that I helped them with…it was actually a FREE seminar, but the content was very valuable. Of the 100 or so who could and should have been there, fewer than 20% were, and about 5% acted on a ‘no brainer’ offer provided at the seminar.

This is just the way it is. I don’t wast any brain cells trying to figure out, but I do strategically try to engineer my business to work with the comparative few in the 5% and 20% groups.

Anyway, The Statistics Of Life are important to be aware of and to keep in mind because history is one of the best predictors of the future and these statistics prove beyond any doubt, the money is in the little group!
