In his dealings working for and with Billionaires, Chris came to an important insight: by studying hard and working hard, one can get into the top 1% of earners. But to get beyond that (such as to get into the top 0.1%), studying or working harder is unlikely to move the needle. At this level of earnings, time is another competitor. We all only have 24 hours a day, and in order to move into the super rich, you need to leverage time. In this episode, we discuss what Chris has discovered and wrote and lectured about from his book “6 Secrets to Leveraging Success”. We discussed the crystal ceiling, why beige is the worst color and why, if you want to be successful, you will need to be a bit psychotic. **LISTEN HERE:** Audio Player [https://www.buzzsprout.com/87086/1048747-pir-e154-chris-jarvis-on-what-it-takes-to-become-part-of-the-0-1.mp3](https://www.buzzsprout.com/87086/1048747-pir-e154-chris-jarvis-on-what-it-takes-to-become-part-of-the-0-1.mp3) 00:00 00:00 00:00 Use Up/Down Arrow keys to increase or decrease volume.   **OR WATCH HERE:** **CONNECT WITH CHRIS JARVIS: LinkedIn – [https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjarvis/](https://www.linkedin.com/in/chrisjarvis/) Homepage – [http://thechrisjarvis.com](http://thechrisjarvis.com/) **** MENTIONED IN THIS EPISODE: ****Chris interviewed by Michael Jans – [Podcast Link](https://www.agencyrevolution.com/blog/podcast/chris-jarvis-best-selling-author-insurance-expert-and-entrepreneurial-strategist/): [https://www.agencyrevolution.com/blog/podcast/chris-jarvis-best-selling-author-insurance-expert-and-entrepreneurial-strategist/](https://www.agencyrevolution.com/blog/podcast/chris-jarvis-best-selling-author-insurance-expert-and-entrepreneurial-strategist/) Increasing Sales Without Selling Webinar – [https://vimeo.com/261162554](https://vimeo.com/261162554) Remarkable Tablet – [https://remarkable.com/](https://remarkable.com/)**   **BOOKS RECOMMENDED BY CHRIS: To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee – [https://amzn.to/2DqtaTn](https://amzn.to/2DqtaTn) Success Principals by Jack Canfield – [https://amzn.to/2XxJppy](https://amzn.to/2XxJppy) 4-Hour Work Week by Tim Ferriss – [https://amzn.to/2XxKGwJ](https://amzn.to/2XxKGwJ) Who Moved My Cheese by Spencer Johnson – [https://amzn.to/2XybQ6O](https://amzn.to/2XybQ6O) Antifragile by Nassim Taleb – [https://amzn.to/2Gql4uY](https://amzn.to/2Gql4uY) Clifton Strengths Finder – [https://amzn.to/2VkedfV](https://amzn.to/2VkedfV) **   ** SUBSCRIBE AT: [Buzzsprout RSS: http://www.buzzsprout.com/87086](http://www.buzzsprout.com/87086)**** [Google Play: https://goo.gl/WMAvW4](https://goo.gl/WMAvW4)**** **** [iTunes: https://goo.gl/7SqwvP](https://goo.gl/7SqwvP)**** [Overcast: https://goo.gl/8b4cbD](https://goo.gl/8b4cbD) **** [Spotify: https://goo.gl/niAbGN](https://goo.gl/niAbGN) [Stitcher: https://goo.gl/DmE7Mi](https://goo.gl/DmE7Mi)** ** [YouTube: https://goo.gl/1Turar](https://goo.gl/1Turar)**   ### About Nicholas Lamparelli Nick Lamparelli is a 20+ year veteran of the insurance wars.
