The Compound Effect

Scott Lynch
About this episode

Many of us wake up every day and say, “today’s the day.” We’re going to lose that extra weight, get that promotion, and finally realize our dreams. And then we wake up the next day and say, “Meh, maybe next week.” But the problem isn’t our goals or ourselves, or even our attitude. The problem is our approach. Why do we think we can just wake up and snap our fingers and change everything? Not only is it unlikely to happen, it’s also potentially dangerous. The Compound Effect offers another path. In this episode, I share my thoughts and insights on ideas and concepts from The Compound Effect by New York Times bestselling author Darren Hardy.
