Compound Effect

The Compound Effect “is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices,” made consistently, over a long period of time.

For example, would you rather have (A) $3 million upfront or (B) one penny that doubles in value every day for 30 days?

If you have taken option (B) then -

Choices

Always remember that - 

Luck = Preparation + Attitude + Opportunity + Action

Now - 

  • Identify the one area of life you’re struggling most with and start journaling all the things you’re grateful for about it.
  • Identify and assess an area of life you want to change and that you’re not taking 100% responsibility for.
  • Start tracking at least one behavior in one area of your life you’d like to change and improve.

Eliminating Bad Habits

Eliminating Bad Habits

  1. Identify your triggers.
  2. Eliminate those TRIGGERS from your Environment. 
  3. Substitute with a REWARD that has the same effect 
  4. Either: Ease into your new reward – (if No.3 doesn't work) some habits are easier to change by cutting them down slowly.
  5. Or: Make a hard change – others are easier to dislodge with a quick decisive tug at the roots.

Creating Good Habits

Creating Good Habits

  1. Start Strongly – start with a strong WHY
  2. Set Yourself Up to Succeed – eliminate distractions
  3. Think Addition, Not Subtraction – focus on what you will get not what you lose.
  4. Make a Public Commitment 
  5. Find a Success Buddy –a friend or a coach
  6. Set up Some Competition – compare the results with yesterday's progress
  7. Celebrate – training your brain is much like training a dog so don’t underestimate the power of small, simple rewards for good behavior.

Acceleration

Giving a little more energy or thought to your efforts won’t just improve your results, it will multiply them.

  • Identify times when you hit your moments of truth and commit to pushing through them when you next get there.
  • Find three areas in your life where you can do “extra” and make a plan to do more.
  • Identify three areas in your life where you can beat expectations then plan where and how to create “wow” moments.
  • Identify three ways you can do the unexpected. Where can you differentiate from what is common, normal, or expected?

Don’t look further if you love learning new things. A refreshing concept that provides quick ideas for busy thought leaders.

Shankul Varada

Best app ever! You heard it right. This app has helped me get back on my quest to get things done while equipping myself with knowledge everyday.

Ashley Anthony

This app is LOADED with RELEVANT, HELPFUL, AND EDUCATIONAL material. It is creatively intellectual, yet minimal enough to not overstimulate and create a learning block. I am exceptionally impressed with this app!

Sean Green

Great interesting short snippets of informative articles. Highly recommended to anyone who loves information and lacks patience.

Ghazala Begum

Even five minutes a day will improve your thinking. I've come across new ideas and learnt to improve existing ways to become more motivated, confident and happier.

Giovanna Scalzone

Brilliant. It feels fresh and encouraging. So many interesting pieces of information that are just enough to absorb and apply. So happy I found this.

Jamyson Haug

Great for quick bits of information and interesting ideas around whatever topics you are interested in. Visually, it looks great as well.

Laetitia Berton

I have only been using it for a few days now, but I have found answers to questions I had never consciously formulated, or to problems I face everyday at work or at home. I wish I had found this earlier, highly recommended!
