What happens when you improve EVERYTHING by just 1%? Dave Brailsford used this approach to catapult the UK cycling team to the top of the ranks. He took a broad approach and tried to improve everything by just a little bit, trusting that the "aggregation of marginal gains" would make a huge difference in the end. He was right and the UK cycling team and performed extremely well in recent years. This same concept can be used by anyone to improve their own lives. Focus on every possible detail in your life. Improve everything, but don't shoot for huge changes. Focus on small changes, but many of them. When everything is improved, every individual component improves dramatically.
