(Final excerpt from the book, The Slight Edge by Jeff Olson)

You know what it takes to follow your dreams and realize them.
You know what it takes to set your foot on the path of mastery, to start living your life up on the success side of the slight edge curve.
You know what you need to do to be successful, because you know what successful people do.

Successful people do what unsuccessful people are not willing to do; they put the slight edge to work for them, rather than against them, every day.
They refuse to let themselves be swayed by their feelings, moods, or attitudes; they rule their lives by their philosophies and do what it takes to get the job done, whether they feel like it or not.

Successful people don’t look for shortcuts, nor do they hope for the “big break”.
Successful people never blame circumstances or other people; instead, they take full responsibility for their lives.

They know that the path that leads to the success curve and the one that leads to the failure curve are only a hair’s breadth apart, separated only by the distinction of simple, “insignificant” actions that are just as easy not to do as they are to do – and that this difference will ultimately make all the difference.

Successful people understand the slight edge, and they put it to work for them.
