are going home on time (without
disappointing your boss)
✔ Confident in making plans to spend time
with friends and family
✔ Spending enough time on personal growth:
(hobbies, training, future plans, exercise)
✔ Starting any given project: 90% certain to

*Your Actual Results May Vary
Do You?
✗ Regularly bail on plans with friends and
family to “fight fires”.
✗ Sleep through the weekends you are not
working.

disappoint yourselves and your customers!
What is your poison?

You Are Bound To Hell!

Works.

Minimum Viable Process
Projects finish with
Minimum Effort,
Maximum Profit

eat, play, live, spend, and communicate”,
and they “start a process that, over time,
transforms everything.”
Keystone Habits
How Alcoa Got It's Groove Back
“just another wheezing
industrial giant with an
unremarkable financial record
and a workforce that was
biding its time”
1986

How Alcoa Got It's Groove Back
“I intend to make
Alcoa the safest
company in
America. I intend
to go for zero
injuries.”
Paul O'Niell – Oct 1987
How Alcoa Got It's Groove Back
in 1999 when Alcoa was the top
stock among the 30 Dow Jones
industrials
Market Cap Increased 126%
