There’s an interesting pattern, which predictably repeats itself in business. Once you see it, you can’t un-see it. And you wouldn’t want to, because it points to a valuable business lesson.
Here’s a tiny sample of the pattern in action.
- Just a small minority of business owners look for opportunities to encourage others.
- Just a small minority of business owners genuinely go the extra mile.
- Just a small minority of business owners are prepared to invest enough in their ongoing education.
- Just a small minority of business owners are willing to lead.
- Just a small minority of business owners can be bothered to make tough decisions.
- Just a small minority of business owners are motivated enough to eat well and exercise regularly.
- Just a small minority of business owners care enough to share a useful blog post.
- Just a small minority of business owners are willing to truly stand out from their competitors.
That pattern matters. It matters because it’s also just a small minority of business owners who succeed in any meaningful way.
And that’s no coincidence.
