Reverse Compound Interest

Failure isn’t one colossal mistake—it’s a quiet collection of small ones.

A missed walk on Monday turns into skipping Tuesday. Before long, a month has passed. Then a year. Then a lifetime of pain.

Can skipping a single day really matter that much?

Yes.
Because success and failure both obey the same law: compound interest.

Jim Rohn said it best:

“What’s easy to do is also easy not to do.”

You don’t fall behind all at once.
You drift. Slowly. Silently. A few inches a day. And before you know it, you’re miles from where you meant to be.

I’ve published six books. But if I’m honest, I’ve written far more in my mind—stories I never caught, never typed, never shared.

They died.
Not dramatically.
But quietly.

A day or two after inspiration strikes, if you take no action, the spark fades.
That book? That idea? That dream?
Gone.

It’s what I call compound miss-interest—the opposite of compound interest. It doesn’t grow your wealth. It robs you of it. Quietly. Consistently.

Think about the ghosts haunting your life:

• The workouts not done.

• The business never started.

• The conversations you were too afraid to have.

• The moments you let pass because "tomorrow" felt like a better day.

They don't scream.
They whisper.
And that’s the danger.

But here’s the good news:
The moment you realize this, you have the power to reverse it.

One walk.
One sentence.
One call.
One step back toward the life you were born to live.

You don’t need to rebuild everything today—just start by doing what’s easy.

Because what’s easy to do is also your way out.

Challenge: Today, reclaim one thing you’ve missed. Take one walk. Write one sentence. Make one call. The reverse compound interest ends the moment you act.
