The Compound Effect: Multiplying Your Success One Simple Step at a Time

This read was very simple and had several great ideas and stories to help with understanding how to succeed with money.

If you only keep a handful of books on your nightstand, this is one that should be there to read again and again. It is simple, powerful, and contains the fundamental "recipe for success" that when employed should get you to exactly where you want to be. Author Darren Hardy is one of the greatest students of success today, yet he doesn't share his wisdom from "on high." It's an approachable book without being preachy. Instead, the lessons are well explained, with lots of stories and illustrations to keep it lively, and by the end you will be excited to get moving!

Darren takes what we all know and have learned for years which is: know what you want, set the goals, track them. Then he takes it to the next level that brings it all together; stick to it so that the Compound Effect works. I just lost 120 lbs. in 7 months using the strategies of the Compound Effect. Most stop short of allowing the compound effect to take place. It's his style of reminding you to STICK TO IT and KEEP DRIVING on a direct path to your desired goal. The Compound Effect is right on. Thanks Darren and this is a must read for anyone desiring to multiply your success one step at the time. Gene King, Charleston, SC

I finished reading this book just this week. I love Darren's passion. He delivered his message in very clear terms and provides us with wonderful resources. I recommend this book and plan to pass it forward.

This book by Darren Hardy, publisher of Success magazine, shows you how seemingly insignificant changes can create huge differences in outcomes. That's what makes the strategies in his book so doable. You don't have to set an unreachable goal to be successful. Instead, you just need to keep doing the little things - even when the immediate results aren't apparent. As Darren so clearly demonstrates, it's your habits and choices that make the difference. And, he shows you how understanding your "why-power" enables you to make the daily changes that yield massive results. Personally, I enjoyed learning about his own success habits too. Very impressive. I have a lot to learn from him! To sum it all up: The little things you do add up to success - so do them. This easy-to-read book is motivational, filled with lots of "how to" advice and definitely worthwhile.
