The search for the next lever - Why successful people swear by the Pareto principle

01/10/2023 | by Patrick Fischer, M.Sc., Founder & Data Scientist: FDS

The Pareto Principle - also known as the 80/20 Principle - states that 80 percent of results are due to only 20 percent of efforts. Successful people know that it makes sense to look first for the next lever to reach their goals faster. Instead of investing a lot of energy in things that will yield little success in the long run, they focus on the few things that have a big impact. This process is part of a strategy to get maximum efficiency out of any task.

By implementing the Pareto principle, one can optimize their results while enjoying more free time. This way, you can spend more energy on what you really love - be it a new hobby, a new project or a new job.

The Pareto principle also helps you set priorities. By focusing on the most important tasks and outcomes first, you can spend more time and energy on the less important things.

In addition, the Pareto principle allows for improved communication. Successful people can suddenly break down more complex work assignments and goals into smaller, more manageable task packages that are easier to understand, delegate, and follow through on.

Overall, it can be said that the Pareto Principle is a very effective method for optimizing results. By using the 80/20 principle, successful people can get more out of their work while freeing up more time for other things.

A press release is an important communication tool to inform about own products, services or other company news. It is a fast and efficient way to convey information to many people in a short time.

Sending the press release to the editorial offices is the decisive step in reaching the widest possible audience. Here, it is important to address the widest possible target group in order to achieve the greatest possible response. For this purpose, it is necessary to send the press release to media houses, agencies, editorial contacts and other interested parties.

In order to optimize the dispatch of the press release, it is advisable to send a professional press release directly to the editorial offices. This ensures that the press releases end up in the right hands and increases the chances of publication.

It is also possible to send press releases by e-mail or by post. Here it is important not only to have the right addresses, but also to know the right contacts. Professional press work is therefore essential here in order to achieve the highest possible success rate.

Press releases can also be sent out via special distribution services. These services make it possible to send the press releases to many media houses and editorial offices at once. The advantage of this is that the press releases can be sent without much effort and at minimal cost.

Ultimately, it is important to always pay attention to quality when it comes to press relations. A good press release sent to the right addresses increases the chances of success and can be a worthwhile investment.
