They discuss how small decisions add up over time and how they use this process in their day to day life - hint: E-liz cooks at home a lot

"Compound Interest is the 8th wonder of the world.  He who understands it, earns it;  he who doesn't, pays it."  - Albert Einstein

The Compound Effect Steps to Reach Any Goal:
1. Set and prioritize your goals
   - ask: What do you want to accomplish in the end?
   - Ex: E-liz' house hunt - she's trying to bag a trophy house but she's finding it much harder than deer hunting
           or Mark's exercise & nutrition goals

2. Write down all tasks necessary for achieving that goal
   - ask: What would it take to...
   - Ex: ...run/jog 1 mile without stopping? ...save up money for an emergency fund or to buy a house?  ...lose 10lbs?  ...start a 401k?

3. Register what you are doing throughout the day and plan your tasks
   - ask: Does this activity/choice help me accomplish my goal?  Or not?
   - Ex: That $5 coffee once a week adds up to $260 a year - could that money be better spent?  also discussed: walking 10min at a time vs tv watching and breaking up a task into more manageable pieces to more easily achieve it.

4. Monitor your Progress
   - ask: how can i better monitor this task to hit daily and weekly goals?
   - Ex: Financial goals - look at your weekly spending to make sure you are moving towards creating an emergency fund
            Fitness goals - log your 10min walks (or any other activity you do like pushups etc) to make sure you hit your weekly baby step goal
           Nutritional goals - log what foods you ate.  Ask were my food choices today better than yesterday - and will my choices tomorrow be 
                                          better than today? Am I feeding myself what my body needs for fuel and building muscle?

5. The Secret Ingredient
   - ask: Am i being steady and consistent? or do i give up too easily?
   - Remember: "Slow and Steady wins the race"

And finally, Mark wraps up with an update on his "fun" procedure from last week.
