I pulled this from my new book, The Great Rat Race Escape , namely from the Perseverance Strategy (#114).

This chart truly embodies the entire Unscripted philosophy and Fastlane Entrepreneurship and what separates the 99% (rat-racers) from the 1% (scientific producers).

While a lot of this is explained earlier in TGRRE (this chart appears near the end) it is pretty self explanatory.

The two most important, IMO, relate to math.

Specialized Skill VS Specialized Unit
Mort time = More Money
VS More Units = More Money

If someone wants a summation of my 3 books and the philosophy contained therein, this chart does a masterful job.

99-vs-1pct-mindset.png

There are other things missing from the list, so feel free to add.

For example, another item that isn't included is related to the Commandment of Control....

99% Thought Form: Following
1% Thought Form: Leading

99% Thought Form: Copying
1% Thought Form: Innovating

DUE TO REQUEST, THIS IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR SALE AS WALL ART...
