Would you rather, $1M cash, or 1c doubled for 30 days?
It’s a trick question of course.
1c doubled each day for 30 days is over $5M dollars.
That’s the power of compounding.
Exponential growth.
You can apply this concept to the way you work:
- Small actions, consistently applied - builds massive advantage.
- It’ll start slow, but in time you’ll smoke everyone.
Whether you are levelling up your skills, building a project, or growing your network - just remember you don’t have to succeed all at once.
Consistent incremental improvement over a long period of time gets results.
Mental frames to go about this:
- Consistency: 10 mins of targetted focus each and every day for a month - is going to beat an all nighter.
- Patience: growth starts slow and most quit early. Small improvements every day leads to massive gains in time.
- Understand the meaning of hidden power: Small wins go unnoticed. It may be best to keep those to yourself. By the time others notice, you’ll be too far in front to catch.
Methods to execute:
How to think about it:
- Focus on a variety of habbits: Apply good habits across a range of disciplines simultaneously. Break the application down into small management executions that stack over time.
- Track progress: Measure what you focus on, and measure the arc of improvement. It’ll motivate you.
- Work towards tangible outcomes: Find the intersection between habits and tangible things you want to achieve.
- Level up periodically: Examine your progress. Determine what’s important, and make adjustments if things aren't working.
Consistent application, and pivoting where necessary will get the job done.
Oh and don’t quit at the first sign of failure.
This is the long game.
