Source 1 in 60 Rule: How Remarkably Successful People Stay on Track to Accomplish their biggest goals. 

🤔 Imagine you are flying from New York's JFK Airport to Vancouver's YVR Airport. About a 6 hour 20 min flight. Distance is just shy of 2,500 miles. If the plane is off course by just 1 degree, you'd end up 41 miles away from the airport... now that's far away from where we were going! I'm sure you'd like to get to the destination printed on your ticket – not somewhere else. 

🥁 A pilot explained a simple rule, and it profoundly relates to a lot of aspects of our lives.

Drum roll please... 

✈️ THE 1 IN 60 RULE. For every 1 degree a plane is off track, you will end up being 1 mile off course for every 60 miles travelled. (Dear fellow Canadians, we are very sorry for using 'miles' but the article we chose this week is American, don't mark us as spam mail, please. 🇨🇦)

So what did we learn from this article?

Weekly article nuggets:

• Create a very specific goal (like landing at YVR from JFK). Make sure you can measure it

• Break the goal down into something digestible

• Create excellent detailed processes and systems for how you will arrive at your goal - again, quantify and be specific

• Focus on the systems to get there and make small corrections mid-flight

• One degree of change can have a big impact

• Turbulence and challenges are normal, persistence sets you apart

Happy Flying!

📖 Book of the Month 

“Significant...The book is both instructive and surprisingly moving.” — The New York Times

Ever wonder what the secret to life is? How to be filled with unlimited happiness? A strategy that NO ONE is talking about to have unlimited wealth and power?Well I am sorry to say that this book will not help answer any of those questions. But it will help you develop your own set of principles to live by, whether it's for work, friends, relationships, or working out! Principles by Ray Dalio is all about principles and systems that could help us... 

1. Be open-minded and understand other people's perspectives

2. Select guiding principles for our lives

3. Learn from Dalio's experiences and his story of how he built a multi-billion dollar wealth management company

See you all next Sunday!
