Trying to be perfect takes too much time and effort. It creates too much stress and is impossible anyway. Instead, strive to relax at the 90% level. This is the per­sonal mastery level. Following The Action Principles®, reaching the 90% level in most of your financial and social endeavors will be something that you don’t even have to think about. It will happen through your persis­tence, determination, hard work and nice personality.

Right now, learn about the income and the lifestyle level of those in the top 10% of your profession. If you aren’t content earning more than 90% of your co-work­ers, choose another profession.

It is possible to try too hard in business, exercise and relationships. Overwork can produce stress and anxiety, which is the opposite of the inner peace you seek. Your best is good enough. Live to a high standard, not to an impossible obsession.

Style and Attitude and Work Matter

Following The Action Principles®, you can be a waiter or a taxi driver or a shop keeper or a contractor or a commissioned salesperson and achieve financial indepen­dence by working hard and investing.

An exceptional man or woman will succeed at any business any where. They always have. They always will. It is a style and an attitude. It is having a goal and work­ing passionately toward that goal.

The ambitious young office cleaner with a plan to building a building maintenance company is a much bet­ter prospect for financial and personal success than the depressed middle age lawyer whose office he is cleaning.

The man of confidence wearing a two hundred dollar suit will look much better than the slouching weakling in the two thousand dollar suit.

Stand tall, smile and get busy.
