The Compound Effect

Happy New Year!

I don’t know about any of you, but I am so excited for 2012. I always feel like I get to start over….what happened in 2011 is in the past and now I get to start off with a clean slate. One of my goals was to write one blog post a week. Now,  I’m no established author or popular blogger, but you got to start somewhere, right? I’ve just got finished reading Darren Hardy’s The Compound Effect. I really enjoyed this book and thought I would write about what I got out the book. I can’t really say I paid attention or focused on the concept of the “compound effect.”  When I was younger, I remember practicing dancing for hours because I wanted to be the best…and I was As I got older and joined the U.S. Army, we kept practicing the same drills and training over and over again. Why? To be the best and have the greatest outcome. Somehow, when it came to my business, I lost site of the meaning of the “compound effect.” In the network marketing profession, you constantly hear the phrase “plant seeds.” Of course you won’t see results immediately, but by planting those seeds you will eventually begin to see results. That pretty much sums up the compound effect. It’s wonderful if you can take massive action in your business, life, etc, but it is just as important to be consistent in whatever it is you are trying to accomplish and keep yourself accountable. Personally for myself, I have HUGE business goals for 2012. I know the main thing for me to accomplish my goals is to be consistent. Doing a few key things everyday to move my business is going to help me reach my goal.

So, the main thing I got from the book is be consistent. The chooses you make today is going to affect you in the future. If you make good chooses towards whatever it is you are trying to accomplish, success will come. Until next week…..
