Things that compound

Pay attention to things that compound. They grow slowly at first but pick up steam after years.

• Interest in a bank account (of course)

• Knowledge in an industry or domain.

• Skill in a professional or personal craft.

• Trust between peers and business partners.

In these instances, stay on the bus. The longer the better.

But other things also compound. They pick up gravity and keep rolling.

• Fear of failure.

• Dishonesty between peers or business partners.

• Apathy towards a craft or skill.

• An obsession with looking for shortcuts.

In these instances, get off the bus. The quicker the better.
