“All overnight success takes about 10 years.”
Jeff Bezos
I sold a property 10 years ago and went back today to see what I gave up.
New shops line the streets now. The blocks have filled in tight and everything I’d need sits a short walk away.
A business compounds like that if you keep showing up for years. So do a skill, a friendship and a habit.
I quit daily writing in my early 20s.
For years my learning slowed. Much later, I traced the slump back to the writing I dropped.
Grace Groner let one stock compound for 75 years.
In 1935 she was a secretary at Abbott Laboratories and bought three shares of the company for $180. She held them and reinvested each dividend.
When she died at 100, those three shares were worth more than $7 million.
Before you sell or quit something that’s working, picture it ten years from now.
