Why Today’s Results Came From Last Year’s work

Cause and effect timeframes. This is what most human beings don’t understate. It’s that today’s result came from last year of work.

The things we do today, we have good memory of what we did today, but over time we remember less and less and ultimately we forget them. But what stays are the results which will come in the future? Months and even years in the future.

It is a tricky one because as time goes on, we have forgotten what actions we took, we only got the results. We think it must be from yesterday’s work or last week’s work.

Entrepreneur starts pitching their idea and trying to make sales. They remember it very well today, but they don’t get many results today. They get disheartened, they did some work today, but they didn’t get that much results today. They say to themselves I remember the work I did and the results I got which weren’t that much. They keep jumping around and never escape it.

No matter what action you take, results take time to occur.

The results we got today came from the seeds that we planted years ago come to fruition this time.

We need to realize that the results we get from making the product better today won’t come today or tomorrow, but a year down the line and the results will be awesome.

You need to do the work now, even if you don’t see the results right now.

We get quick feedback from other people on social media, and right when we post the likes start coming.

What we do is, we take action see the feedback, and then tell ourselves if it worked or it didn’t work.

This is the most powerful thing to understand in life, you won’t see the full results of the thing down the line.

Every smart billionaire used the magic of compounding. Which are just small actions produced over a period of time that produce a crazy amount of results.

As our memory faded, the result will start to be shown.

You need to think about where in the future you want to go and then you need to reverse engineer it so that you know what to do each day.

Don’t get discouraged when the results don’t come.

Conclusion

Don’t fight the future. Think long term, plant the seeds that will come to fruition in the future.

Jeff Bezos thinks the results you got today came from actions you did 3 years ago.

Do the things, remember what you did, and then sometime later notice what results it produces, you need to keep going at it to have longer results.

They won’t come at least 6 months from now.
