Couple of years ago I heard an idea that literally changed my life.
One guy told me that if you do something every single day in order to develop yourself, your skills and your mindset, you’ll be among of the top 2% of the world.
You don’t have to make gigantic leaps of 20% a day and then rest for the rest of the month, no.
Just pick 3 most important things that you have to do in order to grow yourself and the business that you’re working on, and do them every day. That’s it.
Eventually, if you stay consistent and keep improving every day for 1%, at the end of the year you’ll be better for 365%. I believe that will be enough for you to achieve whatever it is that you want.
Imagine where you’ll be in one year, in 2 years, in 3 years? You’ll become not only an expert in any field possible but you also will be able to outperform everybody. The competition will not be an option for you.
Great post, this is a proven tactic. Resteemed and This post has been Tweeted on the Official @Steemit Twitter Account.

Thanks. Yeah, it works for sure :)
Good points made
Thanks :)
It will be even more than 365% because the1% goes on top of the 1% you added yesterday. If you do not burn out on the way yes you will be better in the three things. If there are more than three things than these will become worth, just to add some realism. But overall you are better off.
Yeah, you're right but the idea works, it was tested :)
Thanks for the comment, I really appreciate it.
A great idea. That's going on a Post-It note on my workspace. Resteemed.
Wow. Thanks a lot for your feedback :)
Could you expand on this a little? Does it matter what the 3 things are? Can you do then all at once?
It depends on the area on which you're focusing on.
For instance, if you your business is related to photography your 3 things can be:
Another example (cooking):
So you got the idea. Those 3 things have to be the ones that make the biggest impact on your business. You can do them in any order that you want but the most important here is to do them before you do everything else.
If you really want your business or your life to take off, you have to be focused, consistent, patient and persistent.
I hope that helps :)
Right, so you're actually focussing on 1 thing but you're breaking it up into 3 things you believe provide the most value. That's very different from fracturing your focus, you're actually increasing your focus with your method.

Glad to see people interested in real growth hacking of any kind, whether in a self-development, business or health and fitness.
We need more content of this kind with small bits of motivation and a slightly deeper insight about how to actually make a first step on the path of success in this world :)
Keep on with the great job @dmitriybtc
Yeah, I agree that there is a lack of such content here on steemit. That's why I decided to do something about it :)
Besides thanks for such amazing feedback. I really appreciate it.
This suggestion somehow assumes that you have nothing else to do. What if you work 8 hours per day to make ends meet, spend 2 hours in traffic, then spend 2 hours doing taxes, paying bills, arguing with phone company, banks, IRS, tenants, landlord, city, taken care of broken toilets, leaky roof, your dog or cat, finally have to take your wife for a walk, movies or meet your in-laws and listening them talk for two hours? When will you have the time to improve yourself and do two quality videos?
Wow, that is unexpected but I got it.
And the way how it actually works is when a person wants something, he can create the time. He will figure out what is the most important for him and give up some unnecessary activities that prevents him from doing what he really wants. Basically it's all about priorities.
In any case, even if you have a job and want to create your own business, do just little things. Do go too crazy about it.
But originally this idea implies that you're currently working on something. It doesn't matter whether it is your own or your business. The main point here is that you need to improve with little increments but don't stop improving. Eventually if you can manage to do that, you'll end up in a pretty good place.
You sound like a very young man. First of all, if you live in a survival mode, like most of the people on this planet, you cannot reassign your priorities because you’ve already done this and your optimized abilities are the only possible state of your survival.
But let’s say you live in a great country like the US, where you have many opportunities and free time if you are not taking drugs or is wasting your life some other way.
The process of improvement is only incremental to a certain point. It’s like you are trying to improve your record for a mile run if you already running out of 4 minutes. You’ll spend many hours of training every day for a long period of time and maybe finally you will improve1% providing you didn’t already reach the limits of your capabilities.
The same thing happens when you write or paint or do videos or execute surgeries. You can incrementally improve your skills until a certain point. After this, your input and output relationship stop being described by a linear function and you are against the wall: you deliver tons of gain on the input, but your output still looks like a square function.
In order to improve your skill, it will require a major shift in your overall paradigm of perception. Maybe learning a whole new series of courses or reading many books. Then unexpectedly and seemingly suddenly you can have a jump, which will be not 1% but maybe 10 or 20, or something that you cannot even measure in percentages.
Anyhow, there is nothing wrong in what you are promoting. Unless you try to improve nothing will ever happen. Cheers
Man, you have a pretty great mindset. Unfortunately I don't live in US, I live i Ukraine where the economy is not that awesome :)
But in any case people like Tony Robbins, Robert Kiyosaki, Oprah Winfrey, Les Brown, Brendon Burchard, Tim Ferris, Dalai Lama, Ariana Huffinton and others are telling that a person who want to be at the top of their industry cannot allow themselves to stop learning and improving.
Anyways, we have a pretty awesome debate here about personal development stuff while others don't even try to change something :)
So I really appreciate your feedback.
There is nothing wrong in what you are saying. It's actually very good. Only striving for perfection people could improve themselves and reach their potential. It's just the expectation of linear incremental improvement that is always proportional to your input is what I am warning about. It's not all that cut and dry. Anyhow all the best to you in your strive for perfection.
you are finding yourself. you are on the right track! are you greek?
I like this idea. Thanks for sharing @dimitriybtc Upvoted and followed.
