The compounding effect works in many areas of life.
From my personal experience:
It took me 5 years of working out in the gym to get to an average muscular body. It took me 2 to make it jacked. I feel how the progress accelerates. In 1 year I'll be π₯π₯π₯
It took me 10 years to make my first million. It took me 2 to make the second. The deeper you dive, the bigger the fish.
It took me 3 years to get good with women and to get a girlfriend. It took me less than 1 to get 5.
Knowledge, experience, and understanding accumulate and accelerate you toward your goals.
