YOU CAN GET MORE RESULTS WITH LESS EFFORT
How is this possible? Simply put, as you build your foundation, you don't have to stretch as far to get what you want.

Pretend you're collecting acorns from a tree by hitting them with thrown rocks. At first, you'd have some success, but the effort outweighs the results. Now, suppose you started to build a ladder from the used acorn shells, a ladder that grew as you collected more acorns.

A cycle of growth begins. The higher the ladder grows, the closer you get to the acorns. The closer you get, the easier it is to hit and collect acorns. And the faster you collect acorns, the faster your ladder - or your foundation - grows.

Over time, you'll reach the branches. Just by shaking the branches, you can collect hundreds of acorns in just a few seconds. Results outweigh the effort.

You'll also be in perfect shape to go after a higher tree.
