👋🏼 Hello, reader.
I walked to the busy intersection at Cambie and W 41st Ave for today’s drawing. It was a bright and sunny day!
I’M LISTENING TO A DRAFT OF MY NEXT EPISODE, WITH ELEANOR DOUGHTY. WE ARE NOW SPEAKING ABOUT THE 80-20 RULE, AKA THE PARETO PRINCIPLE.
ELEANOR DESCRIBES IT AS - 80% OF YOUR INCOME COMES FROM 20% OF YOUR CLIENTS.
I LOVE THE PHENOMENON KNOWN AS THE 80-20 (OR 20-80) RULE BECAUSE IT CAN BE APPLIED IN MANY WAYS.
HERE IS THE VERSION I ADHERE TO AS A HOST - "I SPEAK 20% OF THE TIME, AND 80% IS THE GUEST."
AS AN ILLUSTRATOR/ARTIST, IT EMPHASIZES THE VALUE OF A ‘HERO WORK’, SOMETHING YOU MAKE OR HAVE DONE THAT BRINGS IN A VAST MAJORITY OF NEW FANS, OR SALES.
AS A CONVERSATIONALIST, IT MAKES YOU A BETTER LISTENER AND MORE ARTICULATE SPEAKER.
