"Entrepreneur and author of The Slight Edge"
Jeff Olson is an American entrepreneur and personal-development author best known for The Slight Edge, the philosophy he built over decades of building sales and marketing organizations from the ground up. He got his start as one of the youngest airport managers in the country, later worked in the intelligent systems division at Texas Instruments, and went on to build three separate sales and distribution organizations into multimillion-dollar operations, eventually becoming CEO of one of them. He founded The People's Network, which grew into one of the largest personal-development training companies in the United States, producing hundreds of television programs on health, finances, and relationships. Olson describes himself as `a perpetual student of personal development,` and The Slight Edge distills the daily-discipline philosophy that carried him through both his failures and his biggest wins.

Key Ideas & Recurring Themes
The Slight Edge
Small, easy daily choices compound into massive results over months and years - long before they look like they are working.
Two Curves
Every day, your choices bend your life onto a rising curve or a falling one - and both look almost identical at first.
Plant, Cultivate, Harvest
Growth follows nature’s order: unseen effort, quiet repetition, then a payoff that looks sudden to everyone who was not there for the first two steps.
Notable Quotes
"The things you do every day, the things that don’t look like they matter, do matter."— The Slight Edge
"Every action that is easy to do is also easy not to do."— The Slight Edge
