Perry Marshall is one of the world’s most expensive and sought-after business consultants. He’s endorsed by FORBES, INC Magazine, and the most respected entrepreneurs in the world. Clients seek his ability to integrate engineering, sales, art and psychology. In this episode, we explore the 80/20 principle and how it applies to sales, decision making, clients, and even employees within your business.

Some of the highlights of the show include:

  • Chaos theory states that slight differences can cause significant changes in future outcome.

  • Pruning your clients, and employees, can save you significant amounts of money and effort.
  • Seriously consider improving your revenue and life by hiring a personal assistant.
