Learn what Reading the slight edge can do for you personally.
Have you heard about “The Slight Edge“?
This is the principle that small things we do in our life (both good or bad)…done over a long time can lead to monumental change. There is a great book by Jeff Olson called “The Slight Edge” click on his picture below to be taken to a PDF. I highly recommend you read “The Slight Edge” but first let me give you a few real life examples to explain.
Earlier this year one of my mentors decided he wanted to lose some weight… in fact it was January 1st when about 99% of the rest of us want to as well!
Instead of doing the usually diet or joining a gym, he decided to use “The Slight Edge“.
Here is what he did…
You see with the slight edge, the small choices you make in your everyday life really do add up over time. So the basics of losing weight are to change your diet…change what you are putting into your body. Where most people fail is they try to go cold turkey and do drastic changes.
Instead he decided to make “Slight Edge” changes. Instead of bacon for breakfast, he had turkey bacon. Instead of cold cereal he had oat-mill. Instead of eating two eggs for breakfast he had one. Instead of a large glass of orange juice, he had water and ate a whole orange.
At lunch time if he had to eat fast food, he would try to go to Subway or a place that had better options. He would get a 6 inch sandwich instead a 12 inch.
He started exercising and started with just a mere 5 minutes a day…just a quick swim in his pool.
All of these choices were very simple to make, didn’t take a whole lot of effort and to many may seam inconsequential…. but added up over time can make HUGE differences.
His results?
Within 6 months he lost 35lbs! He was eating healthy food and he liked it! He could now swim 30 minutes without stopping!
The amazing thing is all of us have made small changes to our lives but then just fall back into bad habits. 
1. Small choices do make a difference
2. It takes time to see the results… months even years sometimes!
Let’s look at another example.
You are tired of your job and you are stuck living from paycheck to paycheck and you want a change.
Most people find some opportunity…try it for a week or a month and then quit because they are not making 10K a month. Believe it or not it sounds sill when I say it like that but that is EXACTLY the trap that many people fall into.
If they only understood and stuck to the power of “The Slight Edge” they could reach those income goals and have everything they ever wanted in life.
You heard the saying, how to eat an elephant? one bite at a time.
To practice the “Slight Edge” in a home business one needs to apply consistent activity (the right activity I might add) over a sustained period of time to have incredible results. I’m not talking about working an extra 10 hours a day.
I’m talking 30 to 60 minutes a day…time that most people spend watching TV and wasting time…instead apply that time with small consistent business growing activities and do it for a sustained period of time….2 to 4 years.
That is the formula for long term success. That is the formula that allows a person to walk away from the day job and start a new life.
What better place to turn than the Internet?
It allows you to maximize that time and your reach and influence. It’s a perfect companion for those wanting to take advantage of “The Slight Edge”.
If you are looking for a “Slight Edge” business that you can do online. One that can make a real difference in your life…check out the video below and see what I’m doing to get the “Slight Edge” in my life…
…and follow the simple steps. It’s working for me and thousands of others out there online.

Excellent post on The Slight Ed Christopher. Terri had just been recommending the book to me. Seems it's a must read. Thanks for sharing. Liked and Shared.
I just had to share your post again for more to see Christopher. The Slight Edge is an excellent book that I recommend highly.
This is an excellent post, Christopher. It so vividly points out how making small habit changes can make a big difference in your life. I have to dig out my copy of The Slight Edge and reread it. Thanks so much for sharing this and I will too.
I read "The Slight Edge" several years ago. I can validate that it works and it's the reason for my success. It's very simple, consistent action daily even if you are not seeing the desired results right away. In time the slight edge will kick and it will happen just like that. Awesome post Christopher and it's been shared via Syndication Automation and on Google plus as well. Thank you for sharing this here for everyone in the community to read. I recommend this book highly.
