Everything is skewed\u2014whether in the businesses we own, the places we\u2019re employed, the groups of friends we hang out with, or our daily routines, and achieving success can be as simple as locating those skews and learning how to capitalize on them. That\u2019s the idea behind the 80/20 principle and the subject of this mini-episode with Richard Jacobs.


He explains how he\u2019s applied the principle through an analysis of his business and various product offerings, which has resulted in higher profits, improved efficiency, simpler procedures, and perhaps most importantly, happier clients.
