Good morning and welcome to the Increasing Impact Podcast. I'm Justin Sua, episode 2004. Today we are talking about

working hard early. Sam Altman, he said this about compounding. He says, and working hard. He says,

work hard at the beginning of your career. Hard work compounds like interest.

And the earlier you do it, the more time you have for the benefits to pay off.

I close quote. I like that because it's talking about the power of compounding.

And this isn't just for working hard in the beginning of a career. You can start

working hard in the beginning of the day. Work hard in the beginning of the season. Work hard in

the beginning of the week, the beginning of the month, the beginning of the year, the beginning of

the quarter, the beginning of your relationship. The sooner you start working hard,

it begins to compound. The longer we put things off,

the longer we wait to work on things until we feel like it, it's going to be detrimental to us in the long term. And so you, I think it was, it was Charlie Munger who says, or I can't remember who said this exactly.

Essentially, it's just let compounding work and get out of the way.

Eat the frog early, meaning do the hard thing early.

Do it early in the morning.

Do it early in the week.

Do it early in the month. And just early in the week, do it early in the month,

and just keep sticking with it and just start building that momentum. And so my question for you

is, where do you need to start working harder? Now, you might be, some of you might be thinking, what does that question

even mean? And others might be thinking, you know exactly what I mean. Where do you need to be working

harder? In what aspect of your life? And what department of the company, in what relationships

in your life. You know the

answer to that question. And then just start. Don't beat up on yourself that you didn't start a year
