Pick a number, a simple number



Peter Paul Roosen and Tatsuya Nakagawa post to LifeHack about


So, what does Jerry Seinfeld and a typical sales person have in common? A focus on a key number. Seinfeld always needed new jokes so early in his career he used a calendar and a big red marker to cross out each day he sat down for a session to write new material. He needed one session per day and made sure every day on his calendar was marked. His number “1” helped him to become number 1 in his area. Anyone working in sales is quite familiar with “meeting the number”, whatever that number is for his or her manager or company.


There is no simpler number than 1.


Number 1: the special thing you do every day to become number one.


You can start a chain and keep doing your special thing.
