Have you ever heard the common catchphrase, "The little things mean the most?"
If so, then you might also be familiar with one of the greatest success principles of all is called the Law of Accumulation.
This law says that
everything great and worthwhile in human life is an
accumulation of hundreds and sometimes thousands of tiny efforts and
sacrifices that nobody ever sees or appreciates.This law says that
It says that everything accumulates over time, like a snowball. A snowball starts very small, but it grows as it adds millions and millions of tiny snowflakes, and continues to grow as it gathers momentum.
Learn What You Need To Learn
There are three areas where the Law of Accumulation is important.
The
first is in the area of knowledge. Your body of knowledge is a result
of hundreds, perhaps thousands, of small pieces of information.
Any
person with a large knowledge base has spent thousands of hours
building that knowledge base one piece at a time. And what you see when
you meet the individual is an expert in his or her field, and it's that
high level of knowledge that makes him extremely valuable in the
marketplace.
Save Your Money
The second area where the Law of Accumulation works is with regard to money.
Every large fortune is an accumulation of hundreds and thousands of small amounts of money, and the place to start is to take any amount of money that you can right now and begin to save it.
When
you begin to save money, it sets up a force field of energy and it
triggers the Law of Attraction. As a result you begin to attract even
more money - and like that snowball, it grows, adding to your savings.
I've
spoken to many successful people and they've all told me the same
story. As soon as you start to put savings aside, it starts to attract
into your life and into your work all the money that you need to achieve
your goals.
The reason why most people retire poor is they never put the initial savings aside to start with.

Get the Experience You Need
The third area where the Law of Accumulation applies is in the area of experience.
Successful
people in any field are those who have far more experience in that field
than the average. And there is nothing that replaces experience.
Nothing. Whether it's in business or entrepreneurship, management or
parenting, selling or anything else. Many people don't take the risks
that are necessary to move out of their comfort zone and gain that
experience, because they're afraid it won't work out.
Everything Counts
But
the fact is that until you move out of the comfort zone and get the
experience from making mistakes, it's not possible for you to grow and
become capable of earning the kind of money that you desire.
Now here's the key to the Law of Accumulation. It says, "Everything Counts." Everything that you do counts. The biggest mistake that people make is they think that only what they want to count, counts. That when you read a book, when you listen to an audio program, when you go to a course, when you go to bed early and you get up early and you work, it all counts. And it's all going on the plus side of your ledger.

Use Your Time Well
But
when you watch television, waste time, hang out, fool around and so on,
all of that counts, as well, and it's going on the negative side.
A person who has a great life, by the Law of Accumulation, is a person who's accumulated far more credits on the credit side than debits on the debit side. And here's an important point. If what you are doing is not moving you towards your goals, then it's moving you away from your goals. In life, you're either moving forwards or your moving backwards. Nothing is neutral. Everything counts.

Action Exercises
Make
a commitment today to build your knowledge base in the subject that can
be most helpful to you in achieving financial independence. Whether it
takes a week, a month or a year to become thoroughly knowledgeable, it
doesn't matter. Just get started today.
Next,
get as much experience as you can in your chosen field. Start a little
earlier, work a little harder and stay a little later. Take risks and
try every different way you can think of to achieve your goal. This
experience is invaluable and it accumulates over time.
