  2. The 80/20 Rule • If you step back and observe people in life and what they are trying to do, you will find out that out of 100% of the people: • 20% are making 80% of the difference • The other 80% make 20% of the difference.

  3. Imagine This: • 20% of Girl Scouts in any troop sell 80% of the cookies. • 20% of the students in class answer 80% of the questions. • 20% of the forwards on any soccer team score 80% of the goals each season. • What do the top 20 have that the bottom 80 don’t?

  4. Stages of Potential • What’s really going on in people is that they’re either developing their potential or they’re not. Check out these three phases and consider where you are:

  5. Stage One • They’re developing very little of their potential. • Their negativity and false beliefs result in accomplishing far less than what they are capable of.

  6. Stage Two • They’re doing ok. • They’re pretty much meeting expectations

  7. Stage Three • Their potential is exploding. • Because they have developed their potential • They are able to achieve far more in their relationships and experiences.

  8. How do you get there? • Every person is capable of being in the Top 20 (last stage) or Bottom 80 (first two stages). • In every situation we decide or choose to be in the Top 20 or Bottom 80. • In fact, we might be operating in a Top 20 way in one area of our life and in a Bottom 80 way in another area

  9. TLC • The cornerstones of becoming a Top 80 are TLC • T-Thinking • L- Learning • C- Communicating • This is all about becoming a better YOU! • YOU developing your own personal potential so you are more successful in every aspect of your life (school, relationships, work, extra curriculars, etc.)

  10. Star Qualities • Each of us is responsible for making his or her own life. • What do you think makes the Top 20 different from the bottom 80?

  11. Common Star Qualities • Creative- inventive, full of ideas • Self-Confident- belief in oneself • Organized- able to keep your life in order • Outgoing- friendly, sociable • Self-Motivated- self-starting • Persistent- sticking with it. • Enthusiastic- eager interest. • Emotionally Aware- in touch with feelings and thoughts • Self-Disciplined- having self-control • Focused- staying fixed on a goal or task • Optimistic- hopeful, seeing positive • Proactive- doing what needs to be done before a problem develops • Courageous- responding in spite of fear • Spiritual- connected with your true self and values.

  12. Give it a Chance • If you genuinely engage and participate in all aspects of TLC you will be getting more enjoyment out of your life- promised! • Willingness is a major factor in this endeavor…and only you have the power to open the door to this process.

  13. Why Bother? • If you think you are already doing all right in your life you may ask why bother. • All you have to do is be willing to push yourself! THERE IS ONLY ONE THING MORE IMPORTANT THAN BEING GOOD AND THAT IS GETTING BETTER!

  14. Get out a piece of paper: • Identify 5 people who you think are Top 20s. • What characteristics do they have that make them a Top 20? • Choose three or more Star Qualities that you would like to develop more fully in yourself. • How can you demonstrate the willingness to work on these Star Qualities
