A father not far from passing away offers his two sons
a choice. He say that they can either choose $0.01 or
$1,000,000 to do as they wish with after his life has
ended.
Once they make the choice it's final. If they chose to
take the $0.01 the ailing father left instructions with
his banker to double that penny every day for the next
month. If they chose the $1,000,000.00 it was theirs to
do with as they pleased.
They were given a night to choose. One son stayed up
all night debating his choices while the other new
right off which choice to make. The morning came and
both had made a decision and were ready for their
father.
The son who had lost sleep over the choice by morning
time had found new inspiration and had a plan by the
time the daylight came around, in fact, by the time he
saw his father he was smiling from ear to ear as he
found his resolve so complete for his course of action.
Their father asked his boys . . . "What do you choose?"
The one son who had devised a plan quickly chose to
take the one million dollars and quickly got to work on
setting it into action. He called the top financial
analyst in the country and hired them at any cost to
make his money grow.
They spent a week devising the perfect plan and once
finished presented it to the son who had chosen the one
million dollars and he approved.
Next, they quickly got to work making his nest egg
grow.
Meanwhile the other son chose the other route, one cent
which doubled on a daily basis.
Two weeks later the two sons met.
The first son had his million and the second had about
$600+.
Both were excited, but once the first son found out
that his brother had chosen to take the $0.01 option he
pleaded with him to go to his father and beg him to
reconsider his foolish decision. He didn't want to see
his brother with only $600 to live on once his father
passed.
The second son refused.
29 days in, the first son who had chosen the one
million dollar option was up to one and half million
playing the stock market. All seemed well, but . . .
His financial planners fees were just over half a
million dollars, so actually he was a little in the
red.
Meanwhile his brother was up to 2.5 million dollars.
The final 3 days passed quickly.
The first son, although he had not done bad, was still
at less then a million dollars do to fees and expenses
while his brother had understood something that he
hadn't. His brother's final net worth from starting
with just $0.01 was now over ten million dollars.
His brother had understood the power of the eighth
wonder of the world.
Compound interest . . .
And flourished for it.
The lesson here is two fold.
1. In your network marketing business you leverage this
powerful principle. You start as one and over time you
grow exponentially. Half way through you may feel like
you're not as far along as you would think, but believe
me you're well on your way and you'll arrive at your
financial goals far faster than you expect as long as
you understand the rule.
2. This principle goes deeper than just your business;
it has to do with ever success or failure you create in
your life. Those results are compounded result of the
little things you do every single day be they good or
bad. Eating McDonalds today won't make you any less or
more healthy than eating a salad, but look a year later
and you'll surely see the compounded effects of each
path. One to greater health one small decision at a
time and one to bad health one small decision at a
time.
It really is the small things that make the big
differences in the long run. Don't loose site of it in
your life or in your business.
