You've heard of the phrase "20% of the work gives 80% of the results" and thats the only thing people know of Pareto, an Italian polymath from the 1800s. But Pareto developed this as a framework to identify problems, and treat them at their source. The inverse of this is 20% of the problems block 80% of the results. Check pic related, as an example for coffee service problems or one for a company with undesirable customer service. As you make one, you're putting this under the Solve Problems board -- so people can see what are the problems within that department, preventing each QUEST from staying ontrack. Each day (under a daily tracker) if the day, process, department, project, etc is not green (E.g. is off track), then you increase a simple tally mark of what caused it... if its a new root cause, you increase it by one. If a problem has multiple sources, then you also increase those by one. At the start (or end of the day) a person can just answer "why didn't we hit the goal today" and then log down the reason why with a simple +1 tally mark. The bar chart is simply what is the % of frequency over the total of 100%, thats it. This translates to the bar chart, and over time we see that one problem source is the one that is the most frequent (the vital few). So you solve for that -- and suddenly the bottleneck from that stops, the dosage of the project was effective and solved it, and starts to trend downward as others start to trend upward. I've been working out of a writing/journaling version of this, I'm not quite tally marking as we go but making daily reflections and writing why, and then I realized that I keep repeating or updating myself that I have this problem and I'm working through it. But to condense it down, in a single chart, per Quest to say "why did we not post 1X today" -- oh because I took the day off, or I had too many things I otherwise wanted to do, or I wasn't focused, etc can go down deeper to a unified root cause of "lack of discipline"... Suddenly this was a huge 100% of reasons.

I'm asking for feedback. You don't need to write out all of your ideas, gripes, problems, things you wish the community had (or didn't focus too much on)... Please just answer these 3 things + why or what to change 1) What is the #1 good thing here that you can't live without 2) What is the #1 bad thing that if removed you wouldn't care 3) What is the #1 lacking thing that we don't have yet but we should. E.g. 1) I like the content + QA because I get to learn new things 2) I wouldn't care to get quiz + access pass, but I'd rather get it after I demonstrate the skill vs sharing what I know 3) Those on the team should finish the obeya board for the team, so they can see how it goes.

Had a few calls this week of randoms we didn't DM that aren't a good fit or good vibes in general. Having skills is one thing, but if you're fresh out of school with mommy's credit card but you haven't experienced what its like to work for yourself nor have you had wins and losses, and don't know how expensive bad judgement can be, then don't beg me to train you. Why are you always American or a entitled kid that just parrot their favorite influencer. When you run a biz with others, the only thing that matters is how much value you contribute and capture from the market place. Thats it. If you don't have a base level of skill nor the judgement, its hard. Having even virtuous skills like how to build habits or having some level of discipline I can work with. But I had like 2 "broh hook me up" and some dudes who don't get online business or haven't done anything -- or had any clients (or jobs). For those kids upset that I said you're not a fit, please read this: Go find some guru course, pick up a high-ticket trade, just learn a skill, practice it -- actually do it, then come back and say "yo I can do this, how do I scale it" is better than coming on a call with me, talk shit about online businesses in general on the call and say "COME ON BROH HOOK ME UP". Management and leadership is the highest-order type of profession. Some people aren't cut out for it, maybe later in their life, but right now go learn a skill or a trade. Theres too many promising people in here, that have a base level of skill that I'd rather spend the next few years training and placing, than help some entitled kid with a credit card.
