Lazy Man Wealth Secrets

How did I go from $2.50 to $1,400 an hour? For the most part, I used Lazy Man
Wealth Secret #2: Other People’s Ideas and stole an idea from a man named
Vilfredo Pareto who died in 1923.
An Italian Secret to Becoming Rich
Pareto was an Italian economist who studied wealth distribution in England in the
late 1800’s. He discovered 80% of the wealth was held by 20% of the population.
He further discovered that of those top 20% very rich people, there were 20% of
those (or 5% of the total population) that were SUPER rich.
And, of course, of those 5%, 20% (or 1%) were SHOCKINGLY rich. (Yep, they
were griping about the 1% in the 1800’s … the lazy will always be among us …
but that’s another story.)
The magic behind Pareto’s discovery is that 80/20 is in operation in ALL areas of
life.
Stated another way, “Big doors swing on small hinges” or “A big ship is controlled
by a very little helm.”
Using this reality, I took a very small hinge and made my income swing wide
open.
And now for my last story …
A Piece of String Launches a Mighty Ship
Vilfredo was not the first person to see that little things can make a massive, huge
difference.
Around the year 257 BC, a man named Archimedes made a wager with a friend
that he could launch a large ship into the ocean by himself pulling on nothing but a
little piece of string.
The people of the time laughed at him … until he connected a series of pulleys and
ropes to the ship. Using this leverage, he pulled on the piece of string and
successfully pulled the massive ship from dry dock into the water.
No one was laughing after that.
