The Compound Effect

Adam Ashton & Adam Jones
About this episode

"The Compound Effect is the principle of reaping huge rewards from a series of small, smart choices". It's not the big things that set us apart, it's the tiny choices that we make repeatedly and consistently over decades that make radical differences. Darren Hardy steps us through his process of Choices, Habits, Momentum, Influences and Acceleration to help us make small, regular, positive changes to our lives.

Enjoying the show? It would make us really happy if you left a review :)
