What the 5% do that's different

This is the information age. On the chart below it starts about 1950 with the development of Information Theory (Shannon), invention of the transistor and building of the first electronic computers. The impact of these developments unfolded slowly for almost 30 years (1980's) and then spread dramatically.
To be successful (as defined by earned income) in today's environment a person needs to be able to know which information to pay attention to and what to do with it once it is in hand.  Bourdieu's Demon summarizes research what we learned from extensive research among affluent Americans. The research is focused on understanding what the top 5% do that enables them to be more effective.
What we learned is summarized in the book and will soon be available in workshop format.  In fact within the 5% there is an even smaller percent (Green Strategy Group, in the chart, below) ) who do much better than the others over a long period of time. Please follow this blog to get more information about the research and about the up-coming workshop.
