The previous 'dirt-world' retail business I managed had a large turnover, a very high profit, and less than 100 lines. Early in 2001 Leroy Sane Manchester City Jersey , I was contracted to manage another business. This one carries over 800 different lines, yet has a turnover of only about a sixth of the other business, and a lower profit margin. They both have a comparable amount of traffic and credibility in the market, so how can it be that the results are so different?

The explanation starts with Vilfredo Pareto, an Italian economist and political sociologist who lived from 1848 to 1923. He devised the law of the 'trivial many and the critical few' Kyle Walker Manchester City Jersey , better known as Pareto's Law, or the 80:20 rule.

- In a Consumer Electrical business I owned, around 75% of the turnover came from the the best-selling 20% of the stock.

- In an eco-tourism business I now manage Kelechi Iheanacho Manchester City Jersey , there are almost 40 Departments of stock. One department alone produces over 25% of the profit; the next five departments produce the next quarter of profit; the next seven another quarter, and the next twenty-five or so together only produce the last quarter of profit.

The 80:20 Rule applies in almost every sphere. It's uncanny. In almost any field, 20% of the resources produce 80% of the result. It's vital to understand that the reverse is also true- things that take up 80% of your time and resources, will only produce 20% of your results.
