And the last point I'll add to this is, in business, in life, and in our finances, when we set about to accomplish great things, to climb the Mount Everest, we experience that cognitive dissonance, that psychological discomfort, which often forces us into a form of paralysis. But if we break it down into what is the small thing, what is the 1%,

Not only does that feel achievable, which starts that momentum, but that 1% really, really, really matters. It's ultimately why someone like Warren Buffett was able to be so successful outside of his other forms of privilege was because he started investing at 11, his pocket money, 11 years old.

And now by the age of 80, that compounding graph, which is slow, then it's fast, has compounded in its favor. The problem is we don't think that small things matter.

I give them examples from their own life. This is why I always talk about people's teeth. Yeah, the teeth, that was a good one.

When did it happen? So if we talk about the example I gave of five-year tooth decay, when did it happen? It happened today. It happened today with a decision, and this is always the case with small things, that is both easy to do and also easy not to do.

In fact, every small decision in our lives, saving a dollar or not saving a dollar, brushing our teeth or not brushing our teeth, the problem with the small decisions is they are easy to do and easy not to do. So it almost has to become a somewhat religious belief in the power of compounding returns. But when you say like, what is the 1% gain that I can make today?

And can I make that again tomorrow? And how does that look when we zoom out on a graph over the course of five or 10 years? It is profoundly pivotal.
