Life isn’t fair…
Until it is.
We get to choose which side of the unfairness we stand on.
There’s something called the Pareto Principle that was discovered by the Italian economist Vilfredo Pareto.
It talks about the uneven distributions that create outcomes. Usually falling under the 80/20 ratio. It’s interesting, because it can be applied to the work you do, where 20% of the work yields 80% of the results.
But it’s also seen in nature, often with different ratios, like 5% of the plants in the rainforest get 95% of the sunlight…
…Or 5% of the lions get 95% of the food…
…Or in society where 3% of the people in a company produce 97% of the results.
Or, 20% of the people in a country have 80% of the wealth.
Since it’s in nature, it seems like it’s an inescapable natural law. And on the whole, it is.
There will always be a relatively small group who outperform everyone else.
But, we’re humans. We make decisions, and over a long enough period, those decisions bear fruit, for good or for bad.
What you see in free market societies is movement in and out of the top 10%, or even the top 1%.
The fortune 500, for example, may have an outsized portion of the market, but few companies in that group stay there for a decade.
There is constant movement in and out of that top 500 group of companies.
When you look at generational wealth in free market societies, it lasts one generation on average.
In more regulated societies like France, it’s 4 generations. In even more politically entrenched places like Venice, it’s 8 generations.
That movement in and out of the top 1% maintains the law, there is always a 1% with an outsized portion of the wealth in a society, or a 10% or 20%, but the people in that top percentage are always changing based on merits.
Kids born into wealth, for example, rarely have the discipline, the skill, the knowledge that their dad had to create the wealth, nor the work ethic or determination that’s required to gain and maintain wealth in a society where risk plays a role.
My goal is for you to be in the top 1%.
Sure, in wealth, that would be great, but that takes time, often a lifetime of correct decisions.
You can, relatively quickly, move into the top 1% of men in terms of strength, discipline, and health.
And there’s a wonderful caveat to that.
People are getting weaker, fatter, and less disciplined.
Moving into that top 1% has never been easier.
If you want to be in the top 1% of men on the planet for health, strength, and overall health and performance, all you have to do is create the right habits and stick to them over a long enough time.
That’s it.
Eat the right thing for your health and hormones.

Then, train 4-5 days a week lifting weights. You can do bodyweight training, but you’ll get better results in the gym or in your home gym.
Do cardio 6 days a week.
It doesn’t have to be intense, though I prefer it as such. Just get it done.
Do those things every week and you’ll be in the top 1% by any measure.
Use this universal law in your favor.
The top 1% of male lions in Africa are in the top 1% purely because of size.
The top 1% of grizzlies in Alberta are in that top tier simply because they’re born big.
Humans move into the top 1% because of decisions we make.
Or we fall out of the top 1% because of decisions we make.
We’re the only species and thing on the planet that can take our position at the top.
The odds of us being born (let alone still being alive) are 1 in 400 trillion.
That’s as ‘miracle’ as you can get.
This luck, this gift, demands our best performance while we’re here.
It’s a duty to be at our best, to see how close to our potential we can get.
Rise every day and be in the top 1%.
Make those decisions, and the results will come.
Be Legendary,
