About this deal

The Slight Edge is a way of thinking, a way of processing information that enables you to make the daily choices that will lead you to the success you desire.

The alarm goes off at 6am. Without conscious thought your hand shoots out and hits snooze… A 10 minute reprieve. You tentatively slip a foot out from under the covers. You open one eye. Still dark out.

Then you should come up with a step-by-step plan to make them work. Your plan won’t work how you think it will, and it’s ok, as long as you reach your goals. You can always count on the Slight Edge. And unless you make it work for you, the Slight Edge will work against you. If the Slight Edge is right, and you can have an incredible life by consistently taking unintimidating positive actions — why doesn’t everybody have an incredible lifestyle? Answer: easiness, myths, and miscalculations. Simple daily disciplines (little productive actions, repeated consistently over time) add up to the difference between failure and success

The Superachiever That semester, for the first time in my life, I got straight A’s. I went on to business school and graduated at the very top of my class. Fresh out of college, I Is Time on Your Side?..............................................................................45 By and large, people are looking in the wrong places. They are looking for a breakthrough, looking for that amazing "quantum leap"—the philosophy of the craps table and roulette wheel. I don't believe they'll ever find it. I've had colossal failures, and I've had remarkable successes, and my experience is, neither one happens in quantum leaps. They happen through the Slight Edge...That the things you do every single day, the things that don't look dramatic, that don't even look like they matter, do matter. That they not only make a difference—they make all the difference." I look at blaming as a form of whining now. Whenever I see someone post on social media or hear them complain about their jobs, how much debt their in, their horrible co-workers, their family, etc. I only see how much they are whining and that their focus is on everything except what it needs to be on to change things… themselves. The Slight Edge Philosophy Your philosophy is your view of life, something beyond feelings and attitudes. Your philosophy drives your attitudes and feelings, which drive your actions. By and large, people are looking in the wrong places. They are looking for a breakthrough, looking for that amazing “quantum leap”—the philosophy of theThe 5% don’t want success more than the others. They don’t wish, pray or envision for it more. The difference is the slight edge. I have applied the Slight Edge principles in so many areas of life. Chunking every project into annual goals, monthly outcomes, weekly agendas and daily disciplines has helped me accomplish massive improvements in every area of life from health to relationships, to communication skills, to finances. By identifying the daily disciplines in every area of life, I was able to move from cancer to outstanding health; from non-communication with siblings to best friends; from struggling as a single mom to creating a net worth of over 1 million dollars! The Slight Edge principles, compounded over time, will make a massive shift in any area we choose. Life Wisdom What do I mean by philosophy? Not something lofty or abstract; not something you need to go to graduate school or learn Greek to understand. I mean something so simple, so basic, a six-year-old child can understand it. Here is an example.

Lets be honest, people are struggling to keep their heads above water. To keep from digging deeper and deeper into debt, to keep their health from slipping, to manage everything in their busy lives without stressing out, struggling to juggle friendships and everything else tugging away at them. Life feels like a race – with someone constantly moving the finish line further away. Fundamentally, we all take pretty much the same actions every day. We eat, sleep, think, feel, talk and listen. We have relationships and friendships. We each have twenty-four hours a day, 8,760 hours a year, and we each fill these hours one way or the other with a sequence of little tasks and actions, any one of which is seemingly insignificant. Gold medal marathon runners eat and sleep. So do people who are thirty pounds overweight. Successful entrepreneurs think and feel and have relationships with other people. So do those who are unemployed or even living on the streets. People who make lots of money read books. People who are broke read books, too. The successful and unsuccessful both do the same basic things in their lives, day in and day out. Yet the things successful people do take them to the top, while the things unsuccessful people do take them down and out. So what’s the difference? The difference is their awareness, understanding and use of the Slight Edge in their life and work. Successful winners understand the Slight Edge. Unsuccessful people do not. The difference that will make all the difference between success and failure, between achieving the quality of life you want and settling for less than you desire and deserve, lies one hundred percent in which of those little, “insignificant” actions you choose to do. This is why we are all capable of doing what it takes to be successful. We are all capable of being winners ... and yes, that includes you. The Slight Edge is always working. For you or against you, the Slight Edge is already, always at work in all our lives. The purpose of this book is to help you become aware of it—how it is working in your life, every day, every hour, every moment, in every step you take and every choice you make. Learning by studying (book smarts) and learning by doing (street smarts) are both essential to learning Through my father and others, I have seen the impact of a lifetime full of right and wrong decisions and where they lead you. I am forever grateful to have had the Slight Edge philosophy instilled in me at a young age by my parents, because I was able to end up on the positive side of the Slight Edge curve by being aware that the choices I make on a daily basis matter. —Amber Olson The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson is a book that is a must read for not only people looking to improve their lives, but for people who need motivation and support. The Slight Edge is by far one of the best self-improvement books that I have ever read. The concepts about success and improvement are so simple, yet I needed to read them in a book to understand them. This book has given me a foundation for a success philosophy that will bring all my dreams of success into reality.Are you living within your means and investing income into a program that will build equity? Or borring out of credit? Profoundly simple and just as powerful. The sort of wisdom you can actually apply in everyday life. Nike simplified it for the MTV generation (“Just do it”), but I like the Emerson version better, and we’ll be using it a good deal later on when we talk about applying the Slight Edge to your life.

We already have all the information about success that we need. The book is about applying that information in our daily lives, to consistently make the right daily choices – all of which add up to create massive outcomes in our lives. The Slight EdgeThe Slight Edge is a book written by Jeff Olson. It’s a partly autobiographical self-development book about progress in life. It taught me that great things happen one small step at a time. When you practice something a little bit daily, you gain a huge advantage over people that practice once in a while. The book is awfully abstract, deadly boring, and messy. It mixes up different self-help topics without ever fully going into any of them.
