I was reflecting little bit in my own space, few years ago I was a really skinny guy, in college, zero muscles. But within only few months I was able to gain incredible amounts of muscle and completely transform my body, people who didnt see me for months, were shocked how did this guy transform his body completely, some accused me of using steroids some accused me for being unatural, but all I used was protein shake 2 times a day.
This happened years ago, I was always puzzled by the crazy amount of programs/nutrition and information related to fitness. I was also puzzled how come some people pay alot of money for these stuff and never get any results.
Why did I achieve these resultsβ¦.
Now after being hooked on wealth and wealth making, after spending crazy amount of time, effort and money, I am still no where to achieving my goals. And I am wondering , how come with fitness it was almost effortless but here there is like no progress.
And after running revelation of wealth few times, I can see few things now.
With body building, yes, I cared about gaining muscles, yes I cared about getting jacked. But when I walked into the gym, I was completely detached from these goals. In the gym all I cared about is enjoying my time, doing my best, and being 0.1% better, and this was the critical thing that made all the difference, being 0.1% better, gaining 0.1% muscle, lifting 0.1% more than yesterday.
The compounding effect is unreal. Months later, and I am unrecognizable, people respect show respect and what not, I couldnt care less, Its like wait a min, I wasnβt expecting this, this is far more than what I expected.
Now when it comes to wealth generation, its the complete opposite, I was attached to the goal βbeing a millionaire β since day one, I couldnt let go of it, even when I was trading, I always chased home runs, I always wanted more, it was never enough, ofc I gave all back.
Now I can see things, I never aimed for 0.1% better financially, also wanted 10000% better, hence I never got it.
I never chased 10$ wins, I always wanted 10000$ wins,
And this gonna change now.
Today, I am focused on making 20-50$ only, I dont care how, and if I dont make it, its okay, I am still here.
I never really understood the compounding effect, yes intellectually I understand what it means, but I never articulate it if that makes sense.
There were a period in my fitness where I lose muscle due to routine fluctuations and what not, and whenever I walked into the gym I was chasing that fast results of getting back to my peak time, but I never got back to it, again same philosophy, chasing 1000% rather than 0.1%.
It all make sense now.
0.1% wins are far better than 1000% wins because 0.1% are easy to maintain and sustain
