We tend to overestimate what we can do in the short term and underestimate what we can accomplish in the long term.
You can see this in action when you stay committed to your goals because in doing so, you align yourself with the exponential function of growth.
What does that mean?
If you left your money in a savings account over a very long time, the amount of money grows exponentially due to compounding interest versus simple interest.
But, if you're not getting double-digit interest rates, the compounding takes much longer.
This is how investing in real estate can accelerate your wealth when you play the long game.
