Do you want to change?

Good Morning Champions, 

I hope this week's message inspires and contributes to your fulfilment and accomplishment.


India's most prominent figure, Mohandas Gandhi purpoted 'Constant development is the law of life, and a man who always tries to maintain his dogmas in order to appear consistent drives himself into a false position'. Gandhi throughout his existence fought and campaigned for change. You see, Change is imperative. If you resist change, you deny yourself the ability to progress. 

If you are anything like me, I am confident that you have faced a number of barriers and circumstances that may have hindered you, when pursuing those goals YOU have been dreaming and longing for. However, I now believe there is a solution. There is an answer! Infact, there is hope. Your success could be attributed to a relatively simple concept, a concept I introduced many months ago. A concept teachers, entrepeneurs, managers refer to its as the 1 Percent Theory (1%ers). 


Bentley-Woode (1985) suggested that  "success is the complilation of small endavours fulfilled'. You have to understand that success is a not spontaneus occurance, it is the accumulation of little efforts exerted over a period of time. MacMillian further suggested that success is a journey.

In order to prepare yourself for your journey to success, you must, like any solider, prepare himself/herself for battle. Equiping yourself for the strenous, risky, uncomfortable route to freedom.

1%ers allows an individual to assess his/her strengths or weaknesses and make small incremental developments and changes daily, weekly or monthly. 

I read a quote by a man called Robert Collier many months ago, which prompted me to delve deeper into the 1 Percent Theory, Robert Collier noted that 'Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out'.

The 1 Percent Theory simply suggests that you make a consious decision to extert an additional 1 percent effort in everything that you do! Whether it is your friendship, relationship, education, occupation. Infact, anything you believe needs improvement or change.

Change can not occur in an instant. Such as one may not conquer the world in an instant. Small gradual achievements must be YOUR goal TODAY!

1%ers simply encourages us to take an aspect of our life, analyse it, determine our goals and desires and begin to make small incremental changes. 

For example - 

1. If you usually study 3 hours a day, make effort to add just 1 more hour to your studying daily = An additional 7 hours gained. Wow!
2. If you only spend 15 minutes a day excerising, make effort to add another 5 minutes to your workout daily - That is an additional 35 minutes towards an effective workout.
3. Or waking up 15 minutes early than you would usually do, so you can eat an healthy breakfast each morning.

The 1 Percent theory can and will work for any part of your life.

Remember Rollo May said 'Freedom is man's capacity to take a hand in his own development. It is our capacity to mold ourselves'.

Have a great and much fulfilled week.
