A Tale of Two Investors

Two investors start with $100,000 each 💰💰

  • Investor A is consistent, growing her money by 10% every year without fail.
  • Investor B is up and down, making a 30% gain one year, a 10% loss the next, in perpetuity.

So every two years, they would both seem to average out to a 20% gain.

But fast-forward 50 years, and their returns look like this:

  • Investor A: $11.7 million
  • Investor B: $5.1 million

The takeaway: you don’t need big flashy wins to achieve outstanding results. Just rack up small wins consistently and let time do the rest.

What small win can you rack up today? 🤔
