1% better each day, compounded for a year: 1.01 to the 365th power is 37.8.
Why 1% Better?
Most self-improvement swings between burning out and rusting out. 1% Better is the antidote.
You don't need an overhaul. You need one useful idea each morning, and the habit of reading it. Kaizen, the Japanese word for continuous improvement, has a simple promise: small progress every day leads to extraordinary results over time.
