    About 
    The Compound Effect is about how small actions, executed consistently, can lead to hugely successful results, both in business and in life.

Enter: The Compound Effect, a book that gives you practical every day steps to create real change in your life. Darren wrote this book as a guide on how to take ownership of your own life through the small decisions you make on a daily basis.

    - What is the compound effect and how can you use it to gain success in any and every area of your life?
