The best kind of investments are ones that can work while you sleep.
I was recently reminded of this. Over the past few months, I’ve been on a bit of a roadshow giving my happiness lecture at Google. One of my favorite things about giving this talk is the people I meet who show up. We have really great conversations, and I have the opportunity to hear someone else’s perspective.
Well, it turns out those folks who attend may bring up what they learned to co-workers, family, and friends.
I’ve met with hundreds of people in LA, Boulder, Atlanta and New York. After the first talk, I didn’t get much in my inbox afterwards. After the second, there were a few people who reached out. Now after visiting four offices, I’m overjoyed by the reactions and notes that show up. Not just from those who attended, but folks who heard about the talk through a friend, who heard through a friend. It’s unbelievable.

What are you working on?
Perhaps you’re also fooled by the magic of compounding.
You wake up each day and think it’s time to get back to work. When, in fact, it’s been working while you sleep.
