Anything Above 0 Compounds

Don’t wait.

Just start.

Do something.

Every action — even tiny ones — matters.

Don’t have 100% today?
That’s fine.

Also, 1% adds up.

Just do one thing today.
That’s 365 things done in a year.

Write one post.
Film one video.

When you’re on a roll,
you can do so much more.

Every single step forward is movement.

Don’t get discouraged. Just keep going.

Showing up every day is more important than showing up perfect.

Even if it seems hard to post something and share —
just do it anyway.

It will prove you did more.
It will take the guesswork away.

Over time, you’ll actually get better.

Something above 0 is always going to be better than staying at 0.

As soon as you hit day one,
you start building — and it’s 1.

Now do 1 more and get 1% better.
Now you have:
2 x 101%.

Now the magic starts:

You will get into the world of the compound effect.
It’s not just adding anymore.

It’s now a compounding factor.

You just keep going
slowly, but steadily.
And you will end up with a massive action base.

This is what overnight success looks like.
It is compounding in the corner where nobody looked.

This is your tree work.
Do the work.
Just one simple task per day.

It will form a massive snowball.

The most wood actually grows on old trees.

Young trees grow faster,
but they don’t have the massive diameter that a 100-year-old tree has.

The young tree can’t compete on this scale yet.

But:

It will get there someday — because it never stops growing deeply.

  • It All Comes Back to Communication

    Greetings Reader, Over the weekend I had a few chats with a friend on the effects of AI. We will be in for a ride. Sure the opportunities are endless. It will get stronger and better, but it also feels like we’re losing more and more the human touch. I’m trying to figure out how to talk about business without touching the subject of AI. The development is just so much faster than I anticipated. I’ve been in this space now since the launch of GPT 3,5. And it’s been a wild ride. I can promise…

  • The Three Models That Help You Move Fast

    Greetings Reader, Last night I spoke with a lot of Founders at a local event. There is one pattern that kept coming up. I’m planning this. I’m waiting on this. I haven’t gotten the feedback yet. All those statements are holding your business back. They will lock and keep you stuck, because you gave the power to act away. Over the past years I’ve tried to study the greed and there are three models that help you move fast. Urgency is the mover. Urgency means to just close the gap between…

  • The Fight Between Persuasion and Manipulation

    Greetings Reader, Recently I did a deep dive into the world of communication. There are generally two different skillsets to communication. One is the personal communication. Your journal to your dinner table conversation. When we enter the arena of public communications we have a lot of traditions. We have the historic school of the Orator – aka. Speaker. Over the centuries we have seen a specialization. The speaker was trained in propaganda. The Art of public persuasion. After the second…

  • The Hidden Truth Behind Consistency (not many know)

    The first advice people will hear is to be consistent. Post daily. Stick to your schedule. Be consistent. Most give this advice without giving you the understanding of why it matters. “When everybody is consistent, I’m not able to stand out.” That’s what I often hear as a response. “I need to focus on my quality, since everybody is focused on quantity.” This is also a false belief. Since you don’t even know what quantity is. So back to the advice to be consistent. Most people that try…

  • You Won’t Have Time “Someday”

    I’ve thought about this a lot. We often take our life and the time we have for granted. How often do I catch myself with a thought of:“Someday I’ll do this” or“When I have time, I’ll get to it.” Those are statements that make us feel good because we didn’t say no to it — and we still believe that we will get there. But the reality is: We don’t magically get more time. And we also don’t know how much time we have left in our life. My mom dreamed of retirement. Yet God has called her home by…
