The 80/20 Principle: Your Secret Weapon for Online Business Success

🔥

...PS (yes, I know the "PS" came a Tad Early in this post)... but I am currently READING the "80/20 Sales And Marketing" book by Perry Marshall, right NOW!

Hey everyone! Quick question for you...

How many of you know about the 80/20 principle? And more importantly, are you actually using it in your business?

Let me tell you something: the 80/20 principle is almost as powerful as compound interest. Almost.

And if you're NOT using it in your online business, you're leaving serious money on the table.

What Does 80/20 Actually Mean?

Here it is in simple terms: 80% of your results come from just 20% of your efforts.

....in your business!!!

....this means 20% of your customers generate 80% of your sales!

.....that's where the gold is buried!

A Simple Example:

Let's say you have 100 customers:

20 customers (the top 20%) might be spending $500/month each = $10,000
80 customers (the remaining 80%) might be spending $25/month each = $2,000

See the difference? Those 20 customers are giving you 5X more revenue than the other 80 combined!

The Secret Sauce: Going Deeper (80/20 Squared)

Here's where it gets really powerful. Once you identify that golden 20%, do it again.

......take your top 20% and treat THAT as your new 100%. Then find the top 20% within that group.

Real-world example:

You identify 20 top customers (20% of 100)
Now analyze those 20 and find the top 4 customers (20% of 20)
These 4 customers are your super fans - they might represent 64% of your total revenue!

The Big Mistake Most Entrepreneurs Make:

Focusing on the 80% to only get 20% of the results.

....that's like spending all day watering weeds instead of your prize-winning roses. It's exhausting and unprofitable.

...instead, flip it: Focus on the 20% that gives you 80% - then double down on serving them even better.

Conclusion: Your Turn to Share!

The 80/20 principle can transform your online business overnight. But knowledge without action is just entertainment.
