Now, compounding returns are essentially what happens when you have an obsessive focus on small, marginal improvements in our money, in our finances, in our savings, and how that then starts to build over time. The reason why it's eighth wonder of the world is it's slow, then it's fast. If I think about how my podcast grew... Mm-hmm. For the first three years, no one's listening.

And then it's incredibly fast. When I think about how my investments and my net worth grew, it was slow and incredibly fast. When you think about something like your teeth, if you don't brush your teeth today, fine. No one's really going to know.

But if you don't brush your teeth for five years straight, you're in a dental chair and they're ripping the molars out of your mouth. The same applies for your skin, your hair, your relationships with others, and your relationship with money.
