In Life What You Put In…You Get Out

The sooner kids learn this life lesson the better. Over the course of the last 20 years, I have seen what success looks like for tech professionals who exceed what is required…and have catapulted their careers, enjoyment of work, and wealth (great paid salaries, bonuses, promotions, stock options, and even starting their own companies with ‘Big Time’ investors behind them).

Life doesn’t happen for those who wait…it happens for those who take action. K-12 education is a great place for kids to grow their inner muscle of self-drive, discipline, and curiosity. Because mom and dad won’t be there with you in college or life….hopefully by that time you know what it takes to motivate yourself.

One of My Favorite Principles of Success

“The Pareto principle states that, for many events, roughly 80% of the effects come from 20% of the causes. Management consultant Joseph M. Juran suggested the principle and named it after Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto, who noted the 80/20 connection while at the University of Lausanne in 1896” Wikipedia 

Kids who strive to really have a deeper sense of connection (purpose), freedom (passion to create anything worthwhile, that they love), and play (love life and work)…It all starts with them…making a commitment to standout, do more work, and do it because they love to…not because they have to.

Want to be a leader in life...or a follower? If you want to be a 20%er and Do More with the awesome life you are given…start today…Be All In!
