The 7 Slight Edge Principles
By now you have learned what the Slight Edge is all about—how it can work
for you or against you. You have also read about the importance of doing the little
things every day that don’t seem like a big deal but are a big deal—seemingly
insignificant tasks done daily that add up to success.
You have also learned how I have implemented the Slight Edge philosophy into
my life and how it has been the core foundation for my success. And by now, you
have perused through some of the stories of The Slight Edge readers—people from
all walks of life whose lives have changed by adhering to the Slight Edge philosophy.
I am overwhelmed and humbled each and every time I read about how
ordinary people are now living extraordinary lives just by adding a few daily
disciplines to their daily regimen.
As I pore over the thousands of notes and letters we have received over the
years, I began to see a pattern of certain principles these people followed that are
a part of the Slight Edge philosophy—principles that I have taught in some form
over the years, but have never put down on paper until now.
I was able to isolate seven specific and actionable principles that you can
apply right now and use as a guidepost as you head into the next part of the book.
Before you can master the Slight Edge in your own life you need a game plan to
guide you along the way.
