True. however, the correct actions performed consistently and persistently over time will yield the desired result. The Compund Effect by Dar- ren Hardy is a phenomenal, short 160-page read that puts life before, Environment Practice Growth during and after Xavier into per- Compound Impact Challenge Status Excitement Mindset Millennial Prepared World

Yes, making the -Ernest Hemmingway right decisions is important. How- ever, how we create a filter that ex- cludes negativity and activities that do not get us to our goals is a cor- nerstone of this book.

Those very same interactions and environments we choose to involve our- selves in are pertinent and should be ones of growth, challenge and excitement.
