For whatever thing there is on this planet that 99% of people don't do, there is that 1% of people who do it. This 1% is the answer for all your questions and unsolved problems, all your obstacles and all the resistance that you meet when you want to achieve your goals: be that 1% who makes what the other 99% perceives as impossible.

E.g.

1) 99% of people have weak discipline - "But c'mon, man, there's no way one can work 16-18 hours with laser-sharp focus, that's impossible, man ! You need to get a beer, to take off the edge, you need to watch a movie or just call a buddy and chat half an hour on the phone, you need to take a break, otherwise it's impossible to do it!!" - Sounds familiar ?

2) 99% of people have weak willpower and lack emotional resiliency - "You know, I said I'm going to go to the gym 5x/week and lift hard, but I just don't feel like it, my boss irritated me and my co-worker annoyed me, and the whole work drained my energy, and my girlfriend is stressing me, and I just don't feel like lifting at the end of the day, I'd rather go home and watch a movie or do something easy !"

3) 99% of people think they can't expand their self-control: "Yes, you know I told you that I'm not going to date a girl below 6, but I was alone for enough time and I really think that satisfying my needs is more important than living up to my high standards, so I'll just take the chick that is available, even if it's below my standards, because, you know, one can't control the urges forever."

4) 99% of people succumb to stress/get overwhelmed by pressure - the difference between professionals and amateurs is more often than not, not a lack of cognitive skills, but a lack of emotional handling skills. This is why kicking ass at an interview, preparing for an exam, giving a speech in front of an audience, being a CEO of a firm, etc. is an obstacle for most people, not because they wouldn't be cognitively smart enough for it, but because they succumb to emotions.

Doing what 1% does is godlike: imagine not spending your money compulsively, but always strategically, imagine working out with iron-discipline every single time, imagine never doing emotional eating, imagine approaching every challenge ferociously, fearlessly, imagine not dating women below your standards, but having the self-control to stand alone as a self-sufficient man until the right woman comes along, etc.

The power of the 99% lies in the Matrix analogy: the tendency to succumb to collective consciousness is extremely high; after you make up your mind about something, you can observe how gradually your focus and your willpower is fading away. That is because just like Neo, you have to build supernatural self-confidence and focus to overcome your limiting beliefs that are generated from what the 99% of the people do.
