The snowball effect was originally an analogy that was used to describe the Great War. It simply means something of little to no significance building up to become miraculous and great. Snowball, was also the title for a book written about Warren Buffet. He started out as not a big deal and then worked his butt off to eventually become one of the most powerful men in the world (one the richest).
Like a snowball, most of you are starting you careers or experiences with small significance. By that I don’t mean what your doing has no value because obviously it does. What I mean is that you probably have little to no power right now and will continue to have no power for a while. To become the all mighty powerful snowball, you must go down the right path.
A small snowball which is placed on a steep hill will go down much faster and collect more snow and become much bigger a lot quicker than if it weren’t a steep hill. Basic laws of physics. However, the faster the snowball goes down the hill, the harder it will be to control the snowball toward the end of the path thereby possibly being destructive.
If you get rich to quick or too fast, you might lose control and be headed down a path of utter disappointment. It’s interesting to see that many people who win the lotto end up going broke shortly after. Everything happens so quickly that they almost instantly lose sight of how things work. It’s always better to go down the not so steep hill of life so you can progressively:
- Get rich slowly – learn amazing experiences that will help you to be better off for longer durations, compared to being rich quick, loosing quick, and then trying to be rich quick again.
- Create powerful connections – powerful connections will be very useful in various stages of your life including times when you want to go to the next level.
- Build creditability – Your creditably is important because it’s how the public or masses view you. Your credibility can also help take you to the next level or help you in time of crisis.
Would you agree the snowball effect theory being valid? Do you find yourself on a slope too steep?
This word has been extensively used toward the end of 2008 and will continue to become popular throughout 2009. The obvious question: why? The loss of jobs, the horrendous stock market, inflation, and everything else that has been happening around us because of the bad economy. This can easily put anyone’s mind in the gutter. I personally believe that most people right now have a terrible mindset. Unfortunately, most people don’t realize that you have 100% control over your mindset. You have complete control over your emotions and the decisions you make
As a child I was quiet and would keep to myself because of this I was perceived as being submissive and shy, I continued to be this way thru ought my teenage years up until I took part in the personal development industry. What’s interesting is how I developed to be that way. Because I was an introvert person my parents and family members referred to me as being shy.
