The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Any progress?

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Yeah, progress probably.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

But very slow.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

But in a way, that's great, you know, because we're going to be married the rest of our lives.

And so that could be another 50, 60 years together.

And so you need to see incremental progress.

Because really, there's nothing better in life than making progress.

The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

And I've started at such a low point and I'm making progress so slowly that I basically have a good project for the rest of my life.

It's just going for an unusual amount of time.

I'm like, look at Warren Buffett.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Have you ever seen stuff with Warren Buffett where it's like, you know, it took him, whatever, 40 years to make his first couple million or whatever.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

It took him another like 10 or 15 years to make his first billion.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

And then it took him.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

In the last eight years, he's made like $100 billion because his whole wealth is like, ooh.

Basically, if you put enough time into something and you let it compound, it slowly gets bigger and bigger.

Also, all those numbers are incorrect, but the shape of the graph is correct.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

Somebody correct my numbers.

The Diary Of A CEO with Steven Bartlett
The Greatest Climber Alive: I Shouldn't Have Attempted That Climb!

The principle is correct.

But that's why you focus on doing something of value.
