255. This Tiny Shift Might Be the Most Important One You Make

The Mastery Matrix Podcast

In this episode, I share why true transformation in business and life comes from making small, consistent changes instead of waiting for a breakthrough moment. I discuss how the 1 percent principle has shaped my own growth, influenced my work with high-performing leaders, and helped me overcome major challenges from martial arts to launching new businesses. You will find practical methods for using micro-changes to progress toward any goal and to create momentum even in uncertain times.

If you have ever felt stuck waiting for a big opportunity or frustrated with slow progress, these insights will help you shift your mindset and start building lasting results one simple improvement at a time.

Key Takeaways
Small improvements lead to real results
I have seen that regular progress comes from making simple changes every day. The 1 percent shifts in habits, skills, or routines truly add up over time and move me closer to my goals.

Simplifying makes everything easier
In a world shaped by rapid technological change, I get ahead by simplifying my workflows and removing anything that causes friction. This focus on what matters most frees up my energy and attention for what actually drives results.

The 1 percent mindset applies to everything
Whether pursuing a clear goal or stepping into something entirely new, the 1 percent rule helps me take action. Focusing on just the next small step keeps challenges manageable and helps me stay consistent even when the path forward is unclear.

Long term momentum is better than burnout
Instead of repeating what does not work, I look for one small change that could make a real difference—whether that means fixing a bottleneck, changing a habit, or rethinking a routine. These micro-adjustments give me more freedom and creativity and prevent exhaustion as I grow.

For ideas you can use right away, I share my weekly 1 percent shifts in The Saturday Shift newsletter. The aim is to help you experience meaningful change through micro-actions in your own work and life.
