Hello everybody, welcome back to the Primal Potential Podcast.

I am Elizabeth Benton.

Thank you so much for joining me today for this episode in our consistency 365 series.

I need you to do me a favor.

If you have not listened to episode 1091, please go do that.

It was an episode that has received a ton of feedback on the picture that it paints

of the cost of inconsistency.

I really want you to listen to that whole episode, episode 1091, but I want to talk today really

quickly about something I didn't mention in this episode that is very valuable in our

pursuit of consistency.

Just to recap, but please do listen to the full episode, I was talking about this visual

example of consistency and long-term payoff versus short-term reward.

I posed the question, if I offered you one of two options, which would you choose?

The first option is I am going to give you $100 a day for a month or the second option,

I am going to start you with one penny, but double your money every day for a month,

which would you choose?

If we compare, obviously on day one, you'd have $100 if you choose $100 a day, you'd have

a penny on day one if you chose the other option.

If you look at day seven, if you chose the penny, you'd only have $0.64 compared to you'd

have $700 if you took $100 a day, even if we look halfway through, two weeks out, you

could have $1,400 if you were doing $100 a day or $8,192 less than $100 at two weeks if

you were choosing, I'll double your money every day, but we're starting at a penny.
