As you walk your path, it is always, every moment of every day, curving either upward or downward.

The predominant state of mind displayed by those people on the failure curve is blame. The predominant state of mind displayed by those people on the success curve is responsibility.

There is a natural progression to everything in life: plant, cultivate, harvest.

<ul><li>Things that are easy to do are just as easy not to do. </li><li>For the slight edge to work, you have to do something, and keep doing it until you succeed. </li><li>The results are not immediately visible. The small activities seem insignificant, so it’s easy to give up or stop doing the small actions required to deliver results.</li></ul>

The Slight Edge: Obstacles

Every day we are either moving towards the direction we desire or further away from it based on the decisions we make which determine where we end up. No one fails overnight – nor do you succeed overnight. The difference is in creating our own formula of daily disciplines in seven areas for success that we decide and then design for ourselves: your health, happiness, relationships, personal development, finances, career and our impact on the world. The best news: you can start anytime you choose.

The Seven Daily Disciplines For Success

The Slight Edge is a philosophy; it represents a way of thinking: what we know, how we hold that knowledge, and what we do.Consistently repeated daily actions + time = unconquerable results.The secret ingredient is straightforward: to do the small things over and over again until success kicks in. Most of these small things are extremely easy to do – such as choosing between a salad or a packet of French fries, saving a penny or spending a penny. Yet, compounded over time, they can produce massive results.

The Slight Edge

<ul><li>Closing the gap: Leverage the natural tension between Point A (where we are) and Point B (where we could be).</li><li>Harnessing the 5 sources of power: Momentum, Completion, Habit, Reflection, and Celebration.</li><li>Focusing on philosophy, not results. Focusing on results = focusing on the past).</li><li>Continuous learning: How to develop yourself continuously.</li><li>Turning your dreams into reality. How to set goals.</li></ul>

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 and happiness you desire. Learn why some people make dream after dream come true, while others just continue dreaming and spend their lives building dreams for someone else. It’s not just another self-help motivation tool of methods you must learn in order to travel the path to success. It shows you how to create powerful results from the simple daily activities of your life, by using tools that are already within you. In this 8th anniversary edition you’ll read not only the life-changing concepts of the original book, but also learn what author Jeff Olson discovered as he continued along the slight edge path: the Secret to Happiness and the Ripple Effect. This edition of The Slight Edge isn’t just the story, but also how the story continues to create life-altering dynamics—how a way of thinking, a way of processing information, can impact daily choices that will lead you to the success and happiness you desire. The Slight Edge is “the key” that will make all the other how-to books and self-help information that you read, watch and hear actually work.
