What is the Compound Effect? First of all, it’s an amazing book written by Darren Hardy. He goes through the process of how anyone can be successful by pushing themselves everyday. The Compound Effect is when you reap enormous benefits from small activities over time.
This means that if you can complete just one more task towards your goal every day, you will start to see great results! If you continue doing the same thing, it is less likely you will be as successful. Remaining stagnant, you might as well be taking steps backward.
The best way to do this is to create a power list. Create goals for your day that will move you one step forward. Ask yourself how you win each day and do it! it could be as simple as make 10 sales calls a day, read 10 pages a day, or apply to 10 jobs a day.
The $1000 Resume Challenge
Speaking of jobs… in this episode, we have posed a new challenge for our listeners. We have guaranteed a job to anyone who applies to 1000 jobs. Wow! Sounds like a lot doesn’t it. It’s not!
All you have to do is apply for 11 jobs per day, for 90 days. This could be sending a resume to an employer directly, applying on LinkedIn, or any other application platform. The catch: apply for jobs you qualify! Take screenshots of the application receipts and keep a folder of them. If you can prove that you applied for 11 jobs a day for 90 days and STILL didn’t get a job, Dan will give the first person $1000.
