Review
The 80/20 principle is the cornerstone of results-based living. Read this book and use it. --Timothy Ferriss, No. 1 New York Times bestselling author of The 4-Hour Workweek

From the Publisher
The 80/20 Principle can provide a key to control our lives
The 80/20 Principle - that 80% of results come from 20% of the causes - has greatly influenced today's world: but this is the first book showing readers how to use it in a practical and systematic way. The pattern of predictable imbalance which was noted a century ago by Pareto crops up throughout life, and in The 80/20 Principle Richard Koch opens our eyes to the way the world really works. He reinforces the principle with many examples of it in operation - 20% of products account for 80% of profits, as do 20% of customers; 20% of motorists account for 80% of accidents...

Most things we do have trivial results, and only a little of what we do really matters. So if we focus on the latter, we can control events instead of being controlled by them - and achieve several times the results.

About the Author
Richard Koch started his first venture when he was 13. After making the mistake of working for big companies in his twenties, Koch was a consultant with The Boston Consulting Group and partner of Bain & Company. He co-founded LEK Consulting, the most successful, fastest growing and most profitable 'strategy boutique' of the 1980s. In the 1990s he rescued Filofax and Plymouth Gin from near-death, built up Zola Hotels, and co-founded the Belgo restaurant chain and Capstone Publishing. In 2001 he invested heavily in Betfair, a tiny online betting firm shunned by venture capitalists. He played a leading part in making it by far the world's leading betting exchange, worth more than GBP 1.5 billion.. He is the author of 13 books including The 80/20 Individual and Living the 80/20 Way. A self-confessed 'lazy entrepreneur', he lives the 80/20 way in London, Cape Town and the sunniest part of southern Spain.
