The 1% Rule – How Real Progress Happens

Want to get 37x better at circus in one year?

You don’t need giant breakthroughs.
You need to improve just 1% every day.

That’s the magic of the 1% Rule—small, consistent improvements that stack over time. It’s not about “crushing it” once a week. It’s about doing one thing a little better today than you did yesterday.

Here’s what 1% might look like:

Holding a skill for 1 second longer

Pushing out on more rep

Fixing part of a skill

Filming 1 skill and reviewing it with intent

It might feel insignificant in the moment. But 1% better every day = 37x improvement in a year (no exaggeration—look it up).

The best circus artists?
They’re not chasing hacks or shortcuts. They’re compounding their effort—day by day, session by session.

💡 Your Challenge This Week:
Pick one element of your training to improve by just 1% every day this week.
Track it. Stick with it. Let the compounding begin.

P.S. When in doubt, remember: Consistency beats intensity. Every. Single. Time. 

- Apply it to every day life too 😜
