The Compounding Effect of Daily Effort

E677: This is for if you want to stick with something long enough to see results… if you’re seeking the 1% daily improvements that compound A TON over time.

I share what I’ve learned from doing this show for 677 days in a row, making short-form videos for 925 consecutive days, and sending out a weekly newsletter without missing a week for nearly two years.

I go into:
- The truth about consistency and how to keep showing up, even when motivation is low
- Shaan Puri’s Taste Gap - why your early work feels bad (and why that’s actually a good sign)
- A powerful excerpt from Paul Graham’s essay “How to Do Great Work”
- The story behind how one of my lowest-effort videos turned into a viral hit and made me a top affiliate
- How small daily actions lead to huge long-term outcomes

Whether you're trying to grow on social media, start a business, build a podcast, or just stick with a creative habit, this episode will fuel your fire and remind you of the power of persistence.
