THE BLUEPRINT
To Think Bigger You Just Have To Think Longer
Everything is designed to be easier to start but harder to stay

Average person changes jobs every 3.3 years — that's 14 different jobs
90% of podcasts never go past 10 episodes
You Have To Think For Yourself
What do you really want in the future?
How do you want to spend your time?
Where do you want to spend your time?
Who do you want to spend your time with?
How healthy do you want to be?
"Everything takes longer and costs more than you think. Stop flirting with the idea of quitting and doing something else — you're just starting again."

The Slight Edge
They're easy to do
"Things should be as simple as possible but no simpler." — Albert Einstein
The results are invisible
BE
DO
HAVE
They seem Insignificant
The difference between success and failure is not dramatic. In fact the difference is so subtle, so mundane that most people miss it.
(The Slight Edge – Jeff Olson)
What you do today matters.
What you do every day matters.
The WHY
Compound interest is the eighth wonder of the world. He who understands it, earns it... he who doesn't... pays it.
Albert Einstein
