Who are The Five Percent?
Most people's lives consist of:
going to work (often in a job they hate)
doing chores
seeing friends
going out once a week to a restaurant/bar
seeing a concert every few months
And there's nothing wrong with that.
But Five Percenters want MORE.

It doesn't have to mean quitting your job or living an off-the-grid existence.
It might mean:
Discovering what you're capable of, rather than keeping your world small.
It might mean:
- Starting your own business or side-hustle;
- Running a 10k, half-marathon or another sporting achievement;
- Visiting a less-popular destination (Mongolia, Belize, Namibia, Greenland, anyone?!)

Why "The Five Percent"?
The Five Percent... like, the world's richest 5% of people?
Not exactly :)
The Five Percent came from a conversation with my massage therapist. I was telling her about my dreams and how I was moving towards them, and she confessed how good it was to hear someone talking about the action they were taking.

She said:
"Usually people come in, tell me about their goals and dreams... and then give me all the reasons why they can't do them.
And their reasons (or excuses) are always the same."
She estimated that most people - say, 95% - gave excuses. And about 5% went for their goals and dreams.
And so, The Five Percent was born!
