No BS Secret to Success | The Compound Effect

The Compound Effect by Darren Hardy Book review and Summary

The marketing industry has been lying to us. They are wiring us to believe of easy success. That instant gratification is always there. They are teaching us that we don't need to work hard on our goals. Is it the truth though? Far away from reality. In fact, everything that is big took years to make. Starting today, I want you to start doubting anyone promising that you will be the best version of yourself only with 3 installments on your credit card.

Here is the thing, because we are always being told that everything is easy, we became someone who gives up easily. What's worse is that since we are used to instant gratification, we question ourselves why we did not make it. Just as what I said in my book review for the 5 second rule, the results didn't matter as long as you did the action. It takes years to make a big impact in any industry. Make a business? It's not easy. It will take tons of hours of hard work. Rejection from your close ones. Have a good health? Not easy. You need to build a consistent workout routine and have a proper healthy diet. There is only one thing that works all the time. It's doing things consistently and hustle until you make it.

So that's what the compound effect is. Over time, you make yourself better each day, you work on yourself each day and it will compound to success. To make you understand this concept, let's make the famous penny analogy. If you have a choice, will you accept 1 million in cash? or a Penny that will double everyday for 30 days? If you already know this analogy, then you chose the penny. At day 7, you have 0.64 dollars. At this stage, you might be questioning yourself of your decision already. That's normal. We just need to continue doing what we do and not give up because of day 15 you will have 163.84 dollars. Oh, you are regretting this already? You are thinking that the 1 million at the start is the best choice. The thing is at day 30, IF ONLY YOU CONTINUE, you will have 5,368,709.12 dollars.
We need to break free of the instant gratification mindset that is instilled to us by media. Your perfect body will not be achieved by buying the most expensive blender, or having the best workout routine. What matter is you use the blender to make healthy shakes and do the workout routine consistently to see results. Same with making money, you won't make thousands in only a few minutes. It takes years to build a business to make it profitable. The only thing that differentiates the successful ones you are seeing is that even if they went down and start doubting themselves, they still continued to wake up everyday. Even if people are laughing at them, they still got up and did the work.
