Thanks Tech,

I've never known that the 80/20 rule was actually called the Pareto principle.

I think I might use it when I look at my client list. Keep the 20% that are a pleasure to assist and provide the bulk of revenue and spend more time with them that I would otherwise have wasted dealing with troublesome and energy sapping clients.

A nice application of "Work Smart, not Hard."

Good thread.

Cheers,

Kenny
