Case Study - How You Can Increase Your Results by 300%

caterpillarsAn experiment was held one day with caterpillars.

On the rim of a clay pot which held a plant, a biologist lined up several caterpillars so that the leader was head to tail with the last caterpillar.

The tiny creatures circled the rim of the pot for a full week. Not once did any of them break away to go over to the plant and eat.

Eventually, all caterpillars died from exhaustion and starvation.

The story of the processional caterpillars is a kind of parable of human behavior. People are reluctant to break away from the rhythmic pattern of daily life. They don’t want to be different.

If you want to succeed in business, that is, to reach horizons and goals you haven’t reached yet, you need to change the things you’re doing now. Start doing things that are different and monitor your progress.
