A new 21st century individualism is overtaking “corporation-as-king”
capitalism, transforming the way we work and live. Today, real power
rests in the hands of creative individuals like Bill Gates, Warren
Buffett, Oprah Winfrey, and Steven Spielberg, who are changing the
world one great idea at a time. In THE 80/20 INDIVIDUAL, Richard Koch
reveals the secret of their success: they discovered what they do
better than anyone else and rode it for all its worth. In this
inspiring sequel to his classic bestseller THE 80/20 PRINCIPLE, Koch
shows how to maximize success in your career and life by using the
proven principle that 80 percent of changes in the world result from
the most powerful 20 percent of actions and ideas. He’ll show how to
use your own powerful “20 percent spike” – your most creative ideas and
unique skills – to measure the amount of value you bring to your
employer, clients or customers. For most people, there is a huge
disparity between their intrinsic value and the compensation they
receive for their efforts. THE 80/20 INDIVIDUAL shows how to narrow
that gap. Drawing from his own success as an entrepreneur, as well as
from the stories of scores of companies and individuals who have
flourished as a result of an 80/20 mind-set, Koch offers a step-by-step
method to remodeling a career or existing business, or creating a new
one – one that most benefits you. He provides valuable insights on
finding 80/20 partners, hiring 80/20 employees, and running an 80/20
business. By building a team that supports your efforts and excels in
areas where you lack experience or knowledge, you’ll be able to focus
your time and energy on your strengths. Productivity and profits will
soar because you’ll be doing what you do best and enjoy the most. By
using the 80/20 strategies outlined in the book, you can take control
of your career and financial future.
