Dropping foods you’ve eaten for years, exercising daily, and thinking it’s the right move. Which one works?

For most people massive shifts in habits tend to fade quickly as habits aren’t easy to change. Instead, there is a solution to create lasting and sustainable change in your life.

The solution is known as the “The Compound Effect.”

The Power of The Compound Effect

Written by Darren Hardy, it’s a book that you must read if you want to reach your next level of success. The premise of the book is all about how the little things add up, or compound, over time.  Naturally, he’s coined the term “The Compound Effect.“

As Darren Hardy said, “Even though the results are massive, the steps, in the moment, don’t feel significant. The changes are so subtle they’re almost impossible.”

How the Compound Effect Works

This video breaks down an easy way to show the power of the compound effect in real life. Imagine these two scenarios:

Option 1: Spend 30 minutes per day to improve your skills. Receive $10 per week with a 10% weekly compound growth.

Option 2: Spend 30 minutes per day and receive $5,000 per month with no improvement necessary. But, there is no copmound growth over time.

It’s easy to think that option two is the best choice. But compounding is a very powerful tool in business, finances, and life success.

Here are the breakdowns for both scenarios after the first 24 months:

That is the power of compounding in your life. Here’s how to start using the compound effect in your life.

The Microwave Mentality

Darren talks about this by saying we live in a society that wants things immediately. He calls this the “microwave menatlity.” In today’s world, most people want instant downloads, fast food, and same day shipping.

Everyone wants it now, including success! But success, in anything, is never overnight and definitely not a straight line to your destination.  

Instead, you need to align your life with your core values. Your core values are your filter that which you run all of lifes demands and tempations through the filter. This is how you make sure that you’re redirecting your life toward achieving your vision.

How to Find Your Core Values

To align your life with your values you have to first identify what you want in life. As Darren says, “Most people are sleepwalking through daily choices. Half the time we’re not even aware that we are making them.”  

Here’s how to wake up and start finding your core values in business.

• Ask yourself, who do you admire? What are the key attributes that contribute most to their success that you can add into your life?
• Let’s say you chose learning and creating as your core values.
• Next, you need to figure out if your actions align with your new values.
• At the top of the hour, write out what you did the past hour and identify if it aligned with your core values.

Doing this exercise repeatedly will help sharpen your focus. Almost immediately you’ll be able to identify what is not aligning with your values on a daily basis.

This exercise will also show your mind that you are making progress even if you aren’t getting immeidate results. This will quiet the “monkey mind” so you can continue doing the things that will move you closer to your goals.

What to Do Next

Stay patient and trust the process for what you are trying to achieve in your life. Consistent and small steps will lead to huge results in due time.

As the famed motivtional speaker, Eric Thomas said, “Trust the process, don’t rush the process.”

During your journey make sure to focus on the growth over time and take advantage of momentum when it hits!

Use these Darren Hardy quotes to learn the habits that will compound your own success.

“Success means having the courage, the determination, and the will to become the person you believe you were meant to be.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

If you are one of the few people in the world that are committed to reaching your full potential congrats! Most people settle for mediocrity in life.

But if you have the courage and determination you can become anything your imagination can visualize. Define what success means to you and take action toward living that life every single day.

“When it comes to breaking old habits and starting new ones, remember to be patient with yourself. You’ve got to expect it’s going to take time and effort before you see lasting results.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Changing your bad habits is not an overnight experience. Want proof? Just look at 99% of New Year’s resolutions.

Changing a lifelong habit takes more than a few days of willpower.

To change your bad habits don’t try to drop them instead, replace them. Then, stick with that habit for at least 30-60 days. The longer (and worse) your habit, the longer it will take to replace.

“Unsuccessful people carry their goals around in their head like marbles rattling around in a can, and we say a goal that is not in writing is merely a fantasy.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Writing your goals down is the first step in turning your dreams into a reality. If you keep them in your head you’re bound to forget or not work on them consistently.

Write down all your goals. Whether it’s short-term, 90-day goals or listing out every life goal in a notebook. Even writing it down once will have a powerful effect on your subconscious mind to help you achieve your biggest dreams.

“Once-dominant empires have failed for this very reason. People get to a certain level of success and get too comfortable.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your comfort zone is a dangerous place. When you get comfortable you can take things for granted and stop doing what got you there in the first place.

Challenge your mind and body on a regular basis to keep learning, striving, and achieving. Get comfortable being uncomfortable.

“Critics are bitter dreamers gone scared. Empathize and ignore.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Critics are usually the people that didn’t have the courage and determination to keep pursuing their dreams. Don’t’ let them get you down. Use their doubt as fuel to make accomplish your own goals and dreams.

“Your past doesn’t define you, it prepares you.” – Darren Hardy Quotes

Your past is gone. There is no need to continue dwelling on your past mistakes. Everything that has happened has gotten you to where you are today.

Learn from your past to prepare yourself for creating an epic future.

“Your biggest challenge isn’t that you’ve intentionally been making bad choices. Your biggest challenge is that you’ve been sleepwalking through your choices.” – Darren Hardy Quotes
