Why no one talks about this? 🤔️

As the years pass, an idea that no one seems to talk about has stuck with me.

The earlier we learn a skill, the greater the benefits we reap in the long run.

This isn’t about getting ahead of others. It's about leveraging the powerful law of compounding.

We appreciate compounding in the financial world but overlook it in personal and professional development.

Imagine picking up public speaking at 18. You will enjoy being a good speaker for the rest of your life. It will help you land your first job, make friends, and communicate better daily.

Why wait until 40 and lose those 22 years?

The effort to learn the skill will be the same. Isn’t it better to do it now than in the future?

When we are young, we have more free time, more energy, and the compounding effect is on our side. Why not use it in our favor?
