Awesome article. I think it is all relative to the law of attraction. If money makes you happy, then getting happy first will eventually attract money into your life. Staying mostly, unhappy, in unfulfilling jobs, only attracts more unhappiness.
Namaste…

I’ve heard this rule applied the other way around. It’s a bit more depressing I guess when looked at the other way: If 80% of the output takes 20% of the work, 20% of the output takes 80% of the work. You can’t just factor out that 80% most of the time. Think of a symphony. Yes, 80% of the song may be whole notes or really easy stuff. But then you have that solo in the middle. You have to rehearse and rehearse and rehearse to get that solo right, even if the rest of it you barely have to look at. If you are working on a business project, it will not be difficult to be “almost” finished, but getting from almost finished to finished will be a major push. And that last 20% (80% of the effort) is difficult to outsource.

Excellent article. I have never thought of this “coincidence” as a ratio, but it seems to apply to almost everything I do.

In my marketing, only a small percentage respond. Of those that respond, only a small percentage become clients. Of those that become clients, only a few become long-term clients.

Even though I have a lot to do every day, I mainly concentrate my efforts on a few activities that yield the best results.

Is it coincidence that all this seems to be around 80/20?

I have owned and operated small and medium business for 30 years and the 80/20 is TRUE. In fact in most cases just a handle full of customers can generate most of your sales.

This sounds really great beacuse all you need to do is find some customers that will be loyal to and you, pay you on time. The reality is that you have to work realy hard for a long period of time to get them.

Now for the bad news, just a few customers make up you entire sales. What happens if they find another supplier that is better, cheaper, faster, prettier??
Yup, you just went bankrupt. Try to get a diverse customer base to protect yourself.

I have learned about this theory when I studied project management. Since then, I just outsource anything I don’t enjoy doing. Really, anything, starting with accounting. Works like a charm.

This rule of 80/20 is very interesting I haven’t think like this before, it seems that if you follow that rule you can be much more productive, but you must first find what is the 20% that gives you the 80% of your wealth or happiness

It’s amazing how often you come across the 80/20 principle not only in business and in life. I always find it’s a good exercise to sit down and write down those 20% of activities that are generating the most revenue for my business. It really helps you to take stock and focus on what you should be doing.

Hi Yaro,

Never heard of the 80/20 rule before until I came across and read through your article above. I now feel more inclined to google around and find out more about it.

A very interesting concept without doubt.

Many Thanks

Great post Yaro. I know it is a little old, but it is an evergreen post. I definitely think the number one thing to do is to identify the 80% of activities that are, more or less, worthless and cut down/stop doing them.

Ordering the book, fyi!
