A 101% Return

If you are in a relationship where you want to influence someone and change the way he sees or does something, then you shouldn't try to initiate the change in an area where you disagree.  In relationships, change always begins with common ground.  When you practice the 101 Percent Principle, you find that common ground and expand it.  It becomes an excellent starting point for change. JohnMaxwell.com

The premise of this principle is "Can I find common ground, and will I give it 100 percent of my effort [to make the relationship work]?"
