Show Notes

Just finished reading the book Becoming The 0.1%. The biggest takeaway for me was the Figure on Page 70. The small (relative to life) sacrifice it will take to achieve a significant, life-changing goal.

Crazy how I came across this book but so glad I followed through with the thought and purchased a copy. Apart from the interesting insight into a world that is beyond what I could ever imagine, the way Gareth relates this back to how everyone could apply what he learnt is amazing.

I found his Lessons and Key points at the end of each chapter full of so much wisdom.

This is an incredible read for budding entrepreneurs as it is not all sunshine and roses, and you need to take the hits and keep moving forward which was an overarching message for me from this book.

All I can say is thank you Gareth for persevering back in 2005 and keeping a diary so today we can have that insight into your learnings.

From Gareth's website "This book documents the uncertain journey towards achieving a 1/1000 goal, intricately unpicks how it was done and offers transferrable insight and advice that can be applied to other things in life, so the reader can achieve large and often intimidating goals. The strong message that comes through is one of self-agency – the author demonstrates how with focus & determination and living in the present, anyone can achieve dramatic life transformation and have the future they desire.

Becoming the 0.1%, therefore, systematically documents what can be learnt from elite military training and explains with experience and academic insights how it can be applied to all walks of life."
