Raj Kiran Chaudhary's Key Ideas from The Compound Effect
by Darren Hardy

The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices. 

Small, but smart choices or steps which we carry consistently over time can bring a huge difference.

Small, smart choices + Consistency + Time = Radical Difference

Choices are what makes or destroy the people. It can be our best friend or can be our worst enemy. Choices can bring us near to our goals or they can send us very far.

In a nutshell, first, we make a choice and then choice makes us.

We all are lucky. We are constantly having lucky things happen to us, whether we recognize it or not. 

According to the author, when luck came his way, he took advantage of it.

Preparation (personal growth) + Attitude (belief/mindset)  + Opportunity (a good thing coming your way) + Action (doing something about it)  = Luck

Pick an area of your life where you want to be most successful. What do you want? More money? Great body? Better relationship?? Picture where you are in that area. 

Now, keep track of every action that relates to the area of your life where you want to improve. If you have decided you want to get out of debt, track every penny that you spend, if you want to lose weight, keep track of everything you eat. Carry a small notebook and a pen. Write everything. No excuses. no exceptions

The earlier you start making small changes, the more powerfully the Compound Effect works in your favor.

The key is to start now. Every great act, every fantastic adventure, starts with a small step.
