The Compound Effect is about the power of compounding. Compounding occurs when you reap huge rewards from a series of small smart choices. Everything in life compounds whether for good or bad. Whether you decide or not the law of compounding is working for or against you.
“You will never change your life until you change something you do daily. The secret of your success is found in your daily routine”
John C. Maxwell
Choice
We make a choice every day on how we want our lives to play out. We make our choices, and our choices make us. It is the little decisions that destroy or make us as it compounds. We must clear and disabuse your mind of all instant success. We must take 100% responsibility for anything that happens to us in life even if it is not our fault.
The secret to success is in your daily routine. Never ignore the simple things that make big things possible in your life.
The Power of Tracking
The only way to be successful in any area of your life is to track the activities in that area. Track your food and eating habits to lose weight. You must track your expenses to gain control over your finances. You must track your tasks to enable you to complete them on time. Track your exercise to enable you to assess your progress.
My Take
There is compounding at work on everything we do. Either a positive or negative Reinforcing feedback Loop. You must choose good habits. You must choose to practice them daily and reap the compounding results.
