You use some examples in the book, you just used them with money. The other one I thought was such a good example is bamboo. You know, for like the first five years, it kind of grows these extensive root systems underground and doesn't look like anything. And then all of a sudden, it'll shoot, you know, 60 or 80 feet into the air in just a few weeks. It's nuts. That's how it actually grows.
Key Concepts in This Episode:
1. Habits are the compount interest of self improvement in that the positive effects compound over time. You may not see change right away, but consistent effort is what brings lasting results and real change.
2. More important than goals, your systems are what lead to your success or failure when trying to change your behavior. Systems are a collection of habits leading to every outcome so paying attention to the process rather than the final goal is a critical component
3. True behavior change is an identity change. (I want _____ as opposed to I am ____). Identity and behavior are closely linked and taking small consistent actions is the best method for shaping identity and becoming the person you want to be.
