Let’s be honest…
Most people want success, but very few are willing to do what it actually takes to achieve it.

Not because the journey is impossible.
Not because they don’t have talent.
But because the basics seem too small to matter.

Jeff Olson, in his book The Slight Edge, makes a bold but powerful statement:

“Success is the progressive realisation of a worthy ideal through simple, small disciplines repeated over time.”

Let that sink in.
It’s not about massive breakthroughs.
It’s not about luck.
It’s not even about knowing the right people.

Success, real, lasting success, is built on the compounding power of daily disciplines.
Tiny, seemingly insignificant actions. Done consistently.

​

Here’s the truth Jeff exposes:
The same small actions that create success are also the ones that lead to failure when they’re neglected.

Let’s take a simple example.
Drinking a glass of water in the morning?
It won’t change your life in a day… but done every day? Your hydration, energy, and focus improve.

Calling one prospect a day in your business?
You won’t become a top earner tomorrow. But done for 90 days? It will shift your entire income trajectory.

The problem?
Most people say:
“Oh, it’s just one call I didn’t make.”
“It’s just one workout I skipped.”
“It’s just one day I didn’t track my spending.”

And they say that every day.
Until months pass.
​And they’re in the exact same place, or worse.
​

Because the basics are:

✅ Easy to do
✅ Easy not to do

It’s not the one workout, the one sale, or the one healthy meal that creates the magic.
It’s the rhythm. The repetition. The routine.

Success sneaks up on those who stay faithful to the fundamentals.
The people who keep showing up even when no one is clapping for them yet.

​“Simple disciplines repeated over time will create success. Simple mistakes in judgment repeated over time will create failure.”  Jeff Olson

Whether you're building your health, your finances, your relationships, or your network marketing business, the Slight Edge principle applies.

-   Make the shake every day

-   Follow up with that one lead every day

-   Send that gratitude message every day

-   Read 10 pages of a good book every day

No one may notice the first week.
But keep doing it for 6 months? 12 months?
​You’ll look back and barely recognize yourself.
​

The harsh reality?
There are people far less skilled than you… living the life you want.
Why? Because they were consistent with the basics.

Success is not this elusive, mysterious force.
It’s simply the result of what you do, when you think it doesn’t matter.

So ask yourself:
What are the small things you know you should be doing… but keep putting off?

That’s your edge.
​That’s the difference maker.
​

If you’re ready to stop waiting for life to change, and start building your breakthrough one simple step at a time, The Slight Edge is a must-read.

But I’ve made it easy for you.
