Summary of The 1% Rule 

4.6 . 1540 reviews

Short summary

The only difference between successful and unsuccessful people is the way they define and perceive success, their level of clarity around goal setting, and their associated behaviors and habits. Tommy Baker is a writer, speaker, author, coach, and host of the Resist Average Academy podcast. In “The 1% Rule,” he argues that we need to debunk some common myths that prevent us from getting to a place of powerful execution. A decade-long journey that produced new patterns of thinking and living led to the creation of “The 1% Rule”. We need to develop a lifelong mindset that allows for incredible achievement and a deep-rooted fulfillment pertaining to the basic human desire of wanting to be better today than yesterday. “Harnessing the power of the 1% Rule, at worst you’re going to create an improvement of 3.65X, but you could potentially create up to 3,700%, or 37X more.” ~Tommy Baker

first key point

The core principles of those who execute ruthlessly can help you close the gap between where you are and where you want to be

Listen the first key point

So many great people with amazing intentions never move the needle long enough to produce results. They retreat to their normal routine and cannot achieve their health and relationship goals. Far too many people fail to gather the momentum they need to truly live and be alive.
"The 1% Rule was born from watching so many great people with amazing intentions never move the needle long enough to produce results." ~ Tommy Baker
Gradually, their dreams fade away and they remain stuck for years on end. Eventually, they tell themselves that they were destined to stay the same. Should this be?

If you find that you are out of touch with your dreams, there is hope. There is a better way to close the gap between where you care today and where you believe you’re able to go. “The 1% Rule” helps you gain a new perspective, release the immense pressure you’ve put on yourself, and gives you a system you can use for the rest of your life.

In this summary, you’ll find out why some people achieve massive success in everything they do while others can’t lift a finger. You’ll discover what separates those who get excited and inspired for a season, and those who are consistently fired up. You will learn the differences in the behavioral patterns of those who execute ruthlessly and those who remain on the sidelines.
By freeing ourselves from the crucial yet common myths that have held us back and embracing certain core principles, we can step into a place of powerful execution.
If applied, these principles will help you experience a shift in your life. You will let go of the old patterns of thinking and doing you’ve created and step into new realities and experiences. Whatever your context may be—physical health, transformational experience, entrepreneurship and the principles of wealth production—you’ll realize that nothing separates us from those we admire and look up to at the top of the mountain.
second key point

Deeply rooted in our culture is a myth that success is a momentary experience that happens overnight

The success myth makes us believe that if we don’t get what we want when we want to get it, then it is probably not for us. Social media pictures, magazine covers, and the movies we watch all reinforce this myth.

Headway is the answer! No longer accumulating books I never read. With Headway, I initially chose the areas important to me such as productivity, time management, etc., and each day I'm provided several book summaries from which I devote 20 minutes or more each day reading. All of this on my phone! My life has improved with Headway. Truly my most useful app.

In today’s world, we rarely have time. Between our jobs, our families are social obligations, when do we have time to grow and develop ourselves? Headway is an excellent app that gives you that time it gives you those little snippets of information that you need to direct your focus in on your life. Headway gives you a chance to find out the meat of a book that you might want to purchase and read or listen to in-depth without wasting a lot of time trying to figure out is this book for me? I highly recommend the app.

I've gotten multiple books out of the library with the intent to read them, but always have a hard time finding the time. This app has helped me finally be able to get to them. Summarized, yes, and thank goodness too! Just short enough I can finish one on my way picking kids up from school/practice, or while I'm cooking dinner. I can't wait to listen to them over the summer when we visit the beach!

It amazed me! There is the possibility to highlight the most important points of each book and instantly translate unfamiliar vocabulary. With the ability to review the searched words. It's a great way to learn more about English as well. The price is great.

I’m enjoying what I’m learning on headway.each summary comes with quotes at the end which you can save to help you remember key points. You can listen or read, I’ve found that reading puts me to sleep before I can finish but the listening feature keeps me engaged and I can finish in a brief amount of time if not one session.

Exactly what I need! I always have booklist to read, but can't committed enough to finish/start bc of too much pages. Headway is really helpful and concise with their summary. What I love the most is that the essence of the book is well crafted, so I don't only read the key points, but also there's the story and how personality of the author still well shown through the summary. Well done!
