Compounding Impact

Rodney and Chris’ Thoughts
Compounding impact. Compounding impact is the cumulative impact of small, consistent actions, decisions or investments over a sustained period that lead to a result.

Compounding impact can also be known as the snowball effect. 

What actions, processes or habits do you have in place that will lead to a result or an outcome? 

There can be positive or negative effects of compounding impact.

If you lift weights regularly and follow a disciplined program, you’ll gain strength however, if you eat fast food or unhealthy food daily without exercise, you’ll become very unhealthy. 

The outcome or result of the compounding impact could vary from person to person and the results could come sooner for some, and later for others.

If you work out daily you may not see results after a day, a week or a month, but over time the physical transformation will be incrementally significant.

On the flip side, if you don’t work out each day, after a day, a week, or a month, this will have a negative impact on your physical health and likely your productivity. 

You can apply this to business too, if you don’t have regular, consistent check-ins with team members, they may be working on something not aligned to the strategy or alternatively may be disengaged and not working to an expected standard.

Regular coaching, engagement and effective communication, to ensure each team member is aware of their responsibilities will lead to greater results and success. 

Whatever habits or routines you have in place, ensure that the compounding impact is physically and mentally beneficial to you.

A bad day of eating or drinking won’t be as harmful as a bad week or a bad month, just don’t let one day turn into two or two turn into a week and so on.  

You are in control of your compounding impact – you have the option to change.
