4 percent rule
The world has a magical characteristic that most people don’t know about. We are judged mainly by the size of our accomplishments rather than the number of our failures.
It really barely matters how often you fail. So fail. Then pick yourself back up. Repeat.
So try to improve yourself in a 100 ways so that you succeed in 10 of those ways. You’ll be judged as 10 steps ahead of someone who never tried and never failed.
My standard, dad-joke-style observation about the self-improvement industry goes like this:
I’ve got good news and I’ve got bad news. The good news is that this advice works. The bad news is that you’re going to have to get off the sofa.
The Standard Success Rate is 10 Percent. Here’s why you need to try and try and try, but these are not all points of view, read on..
4 percent rule
According to the University of Scranton, a whopping 92 percent of people who set New Year’s goals never actually achieve them. You can count me in that group. Failing to meet goals is pretty frustrating and can set you back.
That leaves 8 percent of us in a very elite category of goal-achievers. What do they do differently that 92 percent of us are missing out on?
Science Says Only 8 Percent of People Actually Achieve Their Goals. Here Are 7 Things They Do Differently.
Most of the time, it comes down to simple habits to keep us accountable.
What is amazing, and to some extent uncomfortable to know, is that half of this 80 Trillion US dollars that is 40 Trillion US dollars, goes to the pockets of just 73 million people in this world out of a total population of 7.3 billion, every year!.
And yes! You got it right. It equals just 1% of the whole world’s population!
Are you travelling in a flight, right now? Imagine your flight has about 100 passengers, then only one person sitting somewhere in the crowd owns more than 50% of the combined wealth of the whole passenger lot including you.
Nearly 50% of the world’s wealth is in the pockets of just 1% of its population (2015 data).
(2018 update: 82% of the world’s wealth is in the pockets of just 1% of its population)
Why are there only a few “Super Successful” people out there?

Why 4 percent..
.. because accordingly to Paretto principle – 80 percent out of 100 people doesn’t take action or advice – only 20 percent.
..if we apply this rule to the rest of people [20 active out of 100 people] – then 16 people [80 percent of them] quit to early [after 3 month of trying, with more results or less] and only 4 people [20 percent] will go until they reach their goals.
4 percent rule – no risk, no rewards
