Making Incremental Improvements & Marginal Gains

“If you made 1% improvements across all things… it would have a big impact on the outcome”

Welcome to More With Moreira. In this episode, you host Desmond Moreira talks Marginal Gains and anecdotal evidence of its effects.

Recently, Desmond attended an I.R.P.M. event where the host, Kevin Fairless, gave a talk on the Pursuit of Happiness. Desmond discusses how this is not your usual Property talk& as a result caught his attention. Listen in on how your host Desmond took this lesson away with him and how this has inspired him to make a list of changes he could make in his own life & business.

      ABOUT THE HOST

      I don’t know how this works, but you’re here now listening (hopefully) about my exciting life, so I’m going to try and make this worth your while. I never got inspired at school, I was too busy trying to impress my peers, chasing girls, and being a fool to get inspired. I rejected school. But let me tell you something for free! That was a mistake! I spent the next 15 years in jobs I hated, with no direction, lacked purpose, and motivation for life. Yes, big words, but that was me in a box. A slave to the system! Fast forward to today, and well, I’m not sitting in my ivory tower or anything, but I love life and my career. Yeah, it’s both painful and exciting rolled and wrapped up into one giant subway, and who doesn’t love subway rite? The point is, you only get one life, don’t waste it pursuing things you care nothing for, invest in YOURSELF and grow as a person, be the best YOU by putting YOU first!
