What You Will Learn

The Slight Edge


Listen Later

The alarm goes off at 6am. Without conscious thought your hand shoots out and hits snooze... A 10 minute reprieve. You tentatively slip a foot out from under the covers. You open one eye. Still dark out.

Now you face a choice: You could sit up, switch on the light and start grinding your brain into gear, prod your groggy grey matter to search out three things you're grateful for so you can write them down. You could then fire up the machinery of tired legs, hips, and back to crane yourself out of bed and go do the 20 sit-ups you promised you'd do every day and then read 10 pages of a book.


When you said that, did you even mean Saturdays? Today is Saturday? You yawn. Or you could slip down under the sheets and catch some more Z's. No, that's lazy. Compromise, flip on the news. Catch up on that unfolding juicy political scandal, see what's happening with the manhunt for the murderer of the week. You reach for the remote.

And you just set the direction your life will take.


The single most important thing about The Slight Edge is this: it's already working, right now, either for you or against you. So don't wait. Our hope that you will put in place something. Perhaps a financial plan for yourself so that you are constantly building equity. Some simple, daily, weekly or monthly discipline that over time will buy you your financial freedom.

Easy to do? Surprisingly so... Easy not to do? Tragically so.
