The Unsexy Secret to Success
Insight inspired by The Compound Effect (Darren Hardy)
In his book, The Compound Effect, Darren Hardy says,
“I want you to know in your bones that your only path to success is through a continuum of mundane, unsexy, unexciting, and sometimes difficult daily disciplines compounded over time.”
It may not be sexy, but the only way to achieve your goals is to start treating your list of habits seriously and take consistent action on them every day.
They are the building blocks to your goals.
Darren Hardy also provides a formula:
SMALL, SMART CHOICES + CONSISTENCY + TIME = RADICAL DIFFERENCE
To illustrate this point, over the time of 2 years, let me ask you would you rather be person A, person B, person C in this scenario…
Person A: Watches TV consistently every night along with a sugary soda and snack
Person B: Goes for a walk, reads for 10 minutes every night and drinks only water
Person C: Does nothing
Of course, you probably want to be Person B. Person B may not be a millionaire in 2 years or have a 6-pack, but they’re certainly going to be better off than Person A with unhealthy habits and Person C who does nothing.
This is the unsexy secret to success and why taking action is so important.
Goal of the Week
Develop a bias for consistent action.
Quote of the Week
“It is better to make something happen—good or bad—than to have it happen to you.”
