Massive Action vs 1% Improvement
Massive success is possible only through massive action, that's not true. It's the tiny improvements (hard to notice), that create incredible change.
The Math?
1% better every day for a year will compound to nearly 38 times better.
1% worse every day for over a year will bring you close to zero!
Your habits can compound against you - stress or negative self-talk. Or compound for you - knowledge, productivity, skills and relationships.

Problem With Goals
What if you have only Goals, and no Systems?
- Win/Lose - Successful and unsuccessful people share the same goals.
- Momentary Change - Achieving a goal changes your life only for a moment.
- Either/ Or Conflict - Either you can achieve the goal and succeed, or you don't and are a failure.
- Goal vs Long Term Progress - What do you do after achieving the goal, your motivation mostly ends right after it's achieved. And you'll slip back to your old routines.
