Ah yes, the 80/20 principle.
Everyone has heard of it…
20% of the work produces 80% of results.
It’s true in almost everything we do.
I worked all year to get my 8yr old to like skiing.
– I made him ski almost every Saturday
– I got him good skis
– I let him pick the runs we ski
– I forced him to ski steep gnarly runs
– I let him ski with friends
– I gave him rewards
In the end, skiing with friends was the only thing that mattered. He loves it when friends are around. 20%.
In my business, the 20% is content creation.
I force myself to work on content creation FIRST every day (even though I don’t love it) because it produces results.
I even delegate and outsource a lot of content creation to my OFS.
For you, what’s your 20%?
Can you delegate some of that 20% to an OFS?
Can you hand off most of the 80% to an OFS.
For Steve Raiken, the 20% is sourcing products and making YouTube videos. He’s been running an online business for almost a decade. He kept his company growing through the pandemic because:
– He understands how important it is to focus on the 20% that makes money
– He has a team of Filipino workers to do everything else
