Richard Koch's 'Unreasonable Success' examines the lives of twenty individuals who significantly impacted the world, revealing common patterns in their journeys. The book identifies nine key 'landmarks' or strategies that these individuals, including figures like Vladimir Lenin, Jeff Bezos, and Leonardo da Vinci, unconsciously followed. These landmarks include self-belief, transformative experiences, and unique approaches to problem-solving. Koch argues that success, particularly the kind that changes the world, often relies on intuition and a departure from conventional thinking. The book aims to provide readers with insights into how they can cultivate similar attitudes and experiences to achieve their own 'unreasonable success'. It challenges the notion that success is solely the result of hard work and rational planning, highlighting the role of intuition and unconventional strategies.
The 80/20 Principle by Richard Koch introduces a powerful paradigm that suggests 80% of our outcomes result from just 20% of our efforts. The book explains how this principle, also known as the Pareto Principle, can be applied in various aspects of life and business to increase effectiveness and efficiency. Koch provides practical examples and strategies for identifying and focusing on the most impactful 20% of efforts to achieve significant results with minimal time and resources. The book emphasizes the importance of concentrating on high-impact activities and eliminating or outsourcing less important tasks to enhance productivity and happiness[2][3][5].

Thirteen years ago, I came across a book that I had no idea would change my life as much as it has. That book was called The 80/20 Principle. I read it, and immediately applied what it said to my life seeing results in a matter of a few days. I continued to apply the method as much as possible throughout the years using it in both my business and personal life.
Little did I know 13 years later, I would be so fortunate enough to interview the author of the book. Richard Koch is our guest today and we are going to dive down the 80/20 rabbit hole with him on what this method is, and why it actually works in all areas of life. How you can use it as a superpower to generate significant amounts of money, and be happier, healthier, and maintain better relationships.
Richard himself is a very successful entrepreneur, investor, & consultant working on and investing in hotels, restaurants, the distilling industry and the internet gaming industry as well. Richard has used the 80/20 Principle to make a fortune from several private equity investments and “retiring’ by the age of 40!
