Making Small Changes to Achieve Extraordinary Results
About the book
Michael Alden offers a method of small, steady gains for reaching goals and making change last. He argues that the trick in breaking a big goal into chunks is making each one big enough to produce results and modest enough to keep up, and he sets that size at five percent more effort. An increase that small is barely noticeable, but each step raises the baseline, so progress compounds over time. Alden applies the idea to health, wealth and learning, with examples such as raising sales, cutting a marathon time, building savings and mastering a skill. He compares it to mountain climbers, who do not try Everest on their first attempt, and maps big goals into milestones.
Tommy John CEO Tom Patterson praised it for showing how small goals compounded over time lead to large results, for anyone from a student to a CEO. Greenleaf Book Group founder Clint Greenleaf likened its approach to winning games by hitting singles.

Over the years at my SANG conferences, I have had the good fortune of having people like Tony Robbins, Paula Abdul, Peter Guber, Jack Canfield, to Tony Hsieh of Zappos. What I have observed about superstar achievers is they tend to do things that separate them from their competitors. Michael is the real deal, and truly lives his message. In Michael Alden's new book 5% More, you now have the blue print to get more out of life and business by just doing 5 percent more.
Clint Greenleaf (Founder/Greenleaf Book Group)
As an avid fan of baseball, we all love the home runs and the grand slams. But, what wins games is getting on base and singles. In Michael Alden's latest book 5% More, he shows how the small incremental successes are what yield huge results. If you want to win a championship in life and business, hitting singles consistently will get you there and 5% More shows you how.
Tom Patterson (CEO/Tommy John)
I believe that no task is beneath you no matter your position in life or within a company. Michael Alden shows in 5% More how those small tasks, those small goals, compounded over time can have huge, long term results. 5% More shows how a high school student or a CEO can set small goals, compound on them and achieve extraordinary BIG results.
