A key principle that explains how people get rich starting from nothing is called the law of accumulation. This law says that everything great and worthwhile in human life is an accumulation of hundreds, if not thousands, of tiny efforts and sacrifices that few people ever see or appreciate. This law explains that great success seldom comes overnight, or as the result of a single experience or breakthrough. Instead, enduring success gathers and accumulates over time. You have to put in countless tiny efforts that nobody sees or appreciates before you achieve anything worthwhile. In some ways, financial success grows like a snowball. A snowball starts very small, but as it rolls forward, it grows and accumulates as it adds millions of tiny snowflakes to its mass.
