Summary

ZERO EFFECT- A negative impact on your progress associated with inconsistency. Without consistency and persistence, it is difficult to maintain your momentum toward your goals. The impact of the Zero Effect comes from the exponential growth factor that consistency provides. If I do something every day, the first day I’ll have some progress. If my starting point is at number 1, I’ll be at some number greater than 1 (I call it “X” in the example below), whatever variable it is that I’m working on. Day 2, you get the exponential improvement, with that number X increased to the power of 2. You still get that exponential benefit on days 3, 4, 5, 6, and more, as long as you keep working on that sub-goal every day. What happens to people is that somewhere along the line, they think that their inspiration and persistent attitude are enough to keep going— and eventually, they forget. Their momentum is gone, due to what I call the zero effect. Tweet me your takeaway from today’s episode @davidmeltzer Email Me!

0:00.0	You've inherited from four generations, the addicted behavior of being addicted to alcohol.
0:04.4	It could take you lifetimes. That's why some people can stop drinking anytime and other people
0:08.8	they have one sip of alcohol and they're often to the deep end again.
0:13.6	This is the flavor.
0:15.4	And remember, you have something that's engrained into your quantum memory.
0:19.1	It could take lifetimes to change it. So it depends on your own DNA where, and I'll use,
0:25.1	you know, alcoholism as an example. Most scientists will tell you a habit can
0:29.6	be formed in 21 days from consistent behavior. That's not true if you've inherited from
0:34.6	four generations, the addicted behavior of being addicted to alcohol. It could take you lifetimes.
0:40.2	That's why some people can stop drinking anytime and other people they have one sip of alcohol
0:45.0	and they're often to the deep end again. So it's not a matter of age. It's more a matter of your
0:50.2	DNA, your quantum memory, and your genetics. We get about 10,000 new ideas a day. Thoughts,
0:56.5	data inputs, and there's two ways that we interpret them. One through our senses, how we see,
1:02.3	hear, touch, smell, taste. Unfortunately, those senses are inaccurate. They're completely inaccurate
1:09.9	and they're not the same for you and I. We see things differently, taste them differently.
1:14.6	The other half of how we understand what comes to us is through our memory and we all know
1:19.8	how inaccurate our memories are. And the older you get canceled, but it seems to get more
1:25.6	inaccurate because there's more in there. Maybe it's more accurate. It's more data to understand.
1:30.5	So first of all, the only way that we accept data are through those two inputs every single day.
1:36.2	And you're created with a cellular memory that communicates with your brain.
1:40.9	So what she's asking is does it take 21 to 30 days to build a neuropathaway in your brain?
1:46.1	I used to say yes. I don't think so anymore. I think that at minimum it takes 21 days.
