The 80/20 Principle: The Secret to Achieving More (And Making More Money)

Reading Time: 3 minutes

August 3, 2020 By T. Harv Eker 28 Comments

When it comes to getting rich, most people pour their time, energy, and money into the wrong areas. Instead of focusing on the actions that will lead them down the path to becoming wealthy, unfortunately, they end up wasting their time and energy. If you haven’t been successful in what you want in life yet, chances are, you have done this, too.  

Become Wealthy By Following The 80/20 Principle

Maybe you’ve heard of the 80/20 rule before.

It’s the principle that states that 80 percent of your success is determined by only 20 percent of your actions. If you think about most areas of your life, this is probably true and some things just have more impact than others. True or true?

The same goes for business.

When it comes to having a successful business and getting rich, there is only one key element that’s more important than any other.

Whether you like it or not, it’s the part of your work that has the biggest impact on both your business and your life.

Would you like to know what it is?  

If so, watch the video below — a sneak peek of my free web class — to find out. You’ll also learn:

  • 00:20 — How I used to believe all parts of my business were equal and that each part deserved equal amounts of time, money, and effort
  • 00:41 — Why that belief left me constantly broke and struggling to make ends meet
  • 00:53 — How there are only three major parts to any business and what they are
  • 01:18 — The real secret to business success and how it will have the single biggest impact on your financial life
  • 02:17 — Why you should focus 80% of your business time, energy, money, and learning in this one particular area

Again what I covered in this video is counterintuitive. It’s not common knowledge nor is it common sense — but it works in the real world and that’s all that matters. True or true?

The fact is, if you don’t put your time and focus on marketing, you will always be working too hard AND earning too little.

So whether you like it or not, marketing will always have the single biggest impact on your business’ success, mediocrity or failure.

Which is a big, big problem…Why? Because unfortunately, most people are bad marketers.

But there is good news! You don’t need to know everything in marketing to succeed. You only need to know the right things. So to help you in this arena I created a FREE web class, called:

The 500 Million Dollar Secret


In this class, you’ll learn:

  • The most common AND deadly mistake that underachieving businesses make and how you can avoid it
  • How to get 10X more sales and make 10X more income from one slight change to your business model
  • The 10-letter word that will practically hypnotize your prospects and customers and make them fall in love with you
  • How to instantly eliminate all fear, doubt, and non-supportive beliefs around the word “selling”
  • And much, much MORE.

Friends, I can’t emphasize how important this free training will be for you and your business. Allow me to teach how you to approach marketing in a whole new way so you can reach the level of success where you’re finally working LESS and earning MORE!

    I’ve maintained the long-held attitude (from my father, a perpetual “broke bloke”) that my production should be my marketing (i.e. – simply rely on word-of-mouth advertising from my customers). Alas, my eyes have been opened as I reach “halftime” in my life, and I realize I’ve been imitating my dad for far too long. Now to get past the fear of delegating responsibility…

    So true, Just a little question, what about giving quality service (Supposed to be the production for a services company), that may build a good brand reputation (Operation that may have a marketing impact)?

    Could you please clarify the borderline between, focusing on Marketing, in term of advertising and selling (Customer acquisition) and the Delivery (Production) quality that warrant the customer loyaly and referral leads?

    I am a little bit confused about giving 80% of what it takes to Marketing to not be able over deliver to my customers so I cano stay on the top of the pack in my sector

    Totally agreed with you Harv! We need to invest most of our time in Marketing that if we already nailed down the evergreen sales funnel that works for us. We need to continuously send traffic to our business day in and day out. Thanks for your reminders…

    Stay safe!

    The 80/20 rule is truly counterintuitive! Thank you for this gem! Oftentimes I tend to forget the Pareto principle and go on my way to giving equal amounts of time to each entrepreneurial activity.
    Question: how do I differentiate between conflicting and oftentimes important priorities?

    I am a 64+ year old Black man. I’m considered physically handicapped, in that I walk with the aid of a walker. I write. I have several manuscripts, but just don’t have the capital to turn them into book form. I think I write pretty good, but, the problem persists. I’m seriously hoping T Harv Eker can help me.
