"A life of 80 years is broken into 29,200 days, which equates to more than 700,000 hours or 42 million minutes. Over a person’s life they make tens of millions of choices.  However, the next decision they make will be the important one, as all future choices will be based on that next decision."

"The Law of Gradual Change focuses on the fact that we have only a limited amount of time today to make a positive impact in both our own and other people’s lives."

"Small, gradual change is deep and real change. Like a glacier moving slowly down the mountain, our lives will leave an impact on those around us."

"Focused towards ongoing small improvements in all aspects of the business, this approach yields large results in the form
of compound productivity improvement."

"As you make small positive daily choices, you effectively take a ‘mini-step’ up the ladder to where you want to be."

"When you continually sow positive change in your life, the 1% Principle turbocharges your performance, helping you reap
the rewards and reach the next level faster."
