  5 Things I Learned From “The Compound Effect” Book!

Though it is the true fact that when we read and absorb the book we can achieve what we learned from it. Thus, I come up for you 5 Things that I Learned From “The Compound Effect” Book which will inspire you to grab hold the value of the book altogether.

1. Choices-

• Think about it. Everything in your life exists because you first made a choice about something.
• Don’t choose at all and you’ve actually made the choice to be passive receiver of whatever comes your way.
• You make your choices and then choices make you.
• Becoming aware of and making choices that support the expansion of your life.
• Half the time, you’re not even aware you’re making them!
• Everything is the results of a series of small, poor choices.
• It’s the little things in life that will bite you, because you’re not mindful of them.
• The Compound Effect works, all right. It always works.
• Example-Author decide to keep a Thanks Giving journal for his wife which made him focus on the wife’s positive aspects. 
• Always take 100 percent responsibility for everything -completely owning all of my choices. I held the power. Everything was up to me.
• Luck surrounds us every day. The difference is when luck came my way, I took advantage of it.
• Luck is when opportunity meets preparation.
• The Complete Formula for Getting Lucky: Preparation(personal growth)+ Attitude(belief/mindset)+Opportunity(a good thing coming your way)+Action(doing something about it)=Luck

• Luck is an equal-opportunity distributor.
• Eliminate all of your excuses.Embrace the fact that you are freed by your choices, as long as you assume personal responsibility for them. It’s time to make the choice to take control. 
• Change is Awareness, so you can begin to make smarter choices moving forward.
• Track every action, Write it down every day. The magic is in doing of simple things repeatedly and long enough to ignite the miracle of the Compound Effect.
• Successful people are willing to do what unsuccessful people are not.
• To get results, you have to take some action. 
• Tracking is the way to get it back on track. All winners are trackers. Have the intention-To bring your goals within sight. 
• You cannot manage or improve something until you measure it. Likewise, you can’t make the most of who you are-your talents and resources and capabilities-until you are aware of and accountable for your actions. Tracking revolutionize your life, and ultimately, your lifestyle.
• Just track one habit for one week. Pick the habit that has the greatest control over you. Considering the Compound Effect, you’ll choose to track.
• Focus on the smallest things you’re doing right, as well as the smallest things you’re doing wrong.
• The key is to start NOW. The first step always looks harder than it actually is. 
• Y our life is the product of your moment-to-moment choices.
• Losing is a habit. So is winning. Practice makes them permanent.

2. Habits-

• The older they are, the bigger they get, the deeper the roots grow, and the harder they are to uproot. Some get so big, with roots so deep, you might hesitate to even try.
• Aristotle wrote,” We are what we repeatedly do.”
• Move your life in the direction of where you really want to go.
• After all, you’re in good company. Psychological studies reveal that 95% of everything we feel, think, do, and achieve is a result of a learned habit! We’re born with instincts, of course, but no habits at all. We develop them over time.
• But their habits take them in the direction of becoming more informed, more knowledgeable, more competent, better skilled, and better prepared.
• With enough practice and repetition, any behaviour, good or bad, becomes automatic over time.
• We can consciously decide to change them. Habits can be learn, unlearn and relearn.
• We’re a “rational” species-at least that’s what we tell ourselves.
• Supersmall, seemingly inconsequential adjustments can and will revolutionize everything.
• Forget about willpower. It’s time for why-power. Your choices are only meaningful when you connect them to your desires and dreams.
• All of the hows will be meaningless until your whys are powerful enough.
• When faced with a choice, ask yourself, ” Does this align with my core values?” Top three values would be Growth, Excellence, and Impact.
• What goals, dreams, and destinations do you desire?
• When you organise and focus your creative power on a well-defined target.
• Things doesn’t ‘exist’ to you until you gave them your attention.
• Top people have clear goals. They know who they are and they know what they want. They write it down and they make plans for its accomplishment.
• Balance all aspects of life that are important to you: business, finances, health and well-being, spirituality, family and relationships, and lifestyle.
• If you want to have more, you have to become more.
• Success is something you attract by the person you become.
• YOU-CHOICE+BEHAVIOUR+HABIT+COMPOUNDED=GOALS
• Your first job is to become aware of how you’re behaving.
• Figure out top three goals.
• First pick up the anchors of bad habits that have been weighing you down. The key is to make your why-power so strong that it overwhelms your urges for instant gratification.
• Figure out what I call” The Big4’s -the who, what, where, when underlying each behaviour.
• Abstain a bad habit and prove that you are still in charge of yourself.

3. Momentum-

• Law of Inertia: Objects at rest tend to stay at rest unless acted on by an outside force.Objects in motion tend to stay in motion, unless something stops their momentum. Put another way, couch potatoes tend to stay couch potatoes. Achievers-people who get into a successful rhythm-continue busting their butts and end up achieving more and more.
• Adopting any change is the same way. You get started by taking one small step, one action at a time. Your success and results compound rapidly.
• The habits, discipline, routines and consistency were keys that unlocked momentum for each.
• A routine is exceptionally powerful.
• You can always control how your day starts and ends.
• The way to get love is to give it.
• Imagine and think your No. 1 goal and decide what three things I’m going to do on this day to move closer toward reaching it.
• Asking myself, “If I only did three things today, what are the actions that will produce the greatest results in moving me closer to my goals?”
• Bedtime routine should be something inspirational. Ask questions about what to be added, scratched out.
• I’m always going to start and finish strong.
• It is important to mix it up, challenge yourself in new ways, and freshen up your experience!
• Envisioning your success as an unstoppable locomotive may help you stay enthusiastic about getting into your own rhythm.
• Planning ahead helps and fix time for activities like every Friday night is “date night.”
• Our goal should be to increase the frequency and the intensity of the good experiences.
• Think of what you can do for the rest of the life.
• Consistency is a critical component of success. It is the key to achieving and maintaining momentum.
• Making the right choice, holding to right behaviours, practicing perfect habits, staying consistent, and keeping your momentum is easier said than done, especially in the dynamic, constantly changing, and always challenging world we share with billions of other people.

4. Influences-

• You must also realize your choices, behaviors, and habits are influenced by very powerful external forces.
• Everyone is affected by three kinds of influences: input(What you feed your mind), associations(the people you spend time with), associations(the people you spend time with), and environment(your surroundings).
• It’s a never-ending battle to be selective and to stand guard against any information that can derail your creative potential.
• Your brain has only one agenda in mind: Survival.
• Your mind will stew on that all night long when you sleep.
• We can be disciplined and proactive about what we allow in. minded source input to start each day.
• Find a consistent, positive, and abundant-minded source input to start each day.
• You get in life what you create.
• What is influencing and directing your thoughts? The answer: whatever you’re allowing yourself to hear and see.
• Your mind is like an empty glass.
• Positive, inspirational, and supportive input and ideas.Stories of aspiration, people who, despite challenges, are overcoming obstacles and achieving great things.Strategies of success, prosperity, health, love, and joy.Ideas to create more abundance, to grow, expand, and become more.
• Something inspirational and instructional for 30 mins in the morning and evening, and have personal development podcasts playing in my car, while I work out, walk the dog, and the chores. I ‘m flushing my glass and feeding my mind.
• The commercials prey on our psychology, our fears, pains, needs, and weaknesses.
• What our mind start believing what is not working has severe influence on our creative potential.
• Who do you spend the most time with? Who are the people you most admire? Are those two groups of people exactly the same? Jim Rohn said that we become the average of 5 people we hang around the most. Rohn would say we could tell the quality of our health, attitude, and income by looking at the people around us.
• Jim Rohn taught, it’s powerful to evaluate and shift your associations into three categories: dissociation, limited associations, and expanded associations.
• There are some people you might need to break away from. Completely. This might not be an easy step to take, but it’s essential.
• Determine the quality of life you want to have and then surround yourself with the people who represent and support that vision.
• Growing and changing your associations is a lifelong process.
• Make sure you’re not spending three hours with a three-minute person.
• Join organizations, businesses, and health clubs where these people gather and make friends.
• One can get mentor they want, if he or she has gathered their best thoughts, stories, and ideas into books, videos, and podcasts.
• Expand associations by joining networking groups and even online communities.
• There should be someone to get and give an unbiased, honest, outside perspective.
• Discuss with family weekly wins, losses, fixes, “ah-has,” and where we are on our growth plans.
• The best advice I ‘ve ever gotten is in short clips, having lunch or breakfast with somebody, just telling them what ‘m working on and asking their advice, You will be amazed how successful businesspeople are willing to be mentors to people when it’s not taking a lot of time.”
• “Mentoring is the true legacy. It is the greatest inheritance you can give to others. And it should never end. It is why we get up every day. To teach and to be taught.” Mentorship is a two-way street. Get strengthen by the people who surround us.
• Genius people are willing to share when you show sincere interest.
• Remember the adage: “Never ask advice of someone with whom you wouldn’t want to trade places.”
• You will get in life what you accept and expect you are worthy of.

5. Acceleration-

• Everything is for exercise and test of will.
• When you hit the wall in your disciplines, routines, rhythms, and consistency, realize that’s when you are separating yourself from the your old self, scaling that wall, and finding your more powerful, triumphant, and victorious self.
• Viewing yourself as your toughest competitor is one of the best ways to multiply your results.Go above and beyond when you hit the wall.Another way to multiply your results is pushing past what other people expect of you-doing more than “enough”.
• Whether you’re making calls, serving customers, recognizing your team, acknowledging your spouse, going for a run,bench-pressing, planning a date night, sharing time with your kids, whatever… What’s the little extra you can do that exceeds expectations and accelerates your results?
• I just prefer to shoot for extraordinary.
• The multiplier keeps growing!
• It takes very little extra to be EXTRAordinary. In all areas of your life, look for the multiplier opportunities where you can go a little further, push yourself a little harder, last a little longer, prepare a little better, and deliver a little bit more.
