Three Key Takeaways from The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson

1. Recognizing the power of compound progression : Olson engages his readers, encouraging them to take a more holistic view of success: one, progressively small right decision at a time. Having the vision is necessary, yet could sometimes play a misleading and diluting role in attainment.2. Choosing the positive slope : Negative progression “the slight down-the-road” , Olson points out, only leads further into the downhill plateau than progress or growth. Reliably moving towards growth consistently, no matter how small, increment by increment holds an incredible advantage over its alternate vantage point3. Recognizing that action is critical: Change is the only constant in life, and success, of course, is never guaranteed. Choosing to act where and when we can however puts a successful outcome well within our scope of influence; depending in our perspective of what success is.
