In creating anything new, you must exert more effort than you get for the output.  It has been said that it takes 10 units of effort to create 1 unit of output initially.  I would have to agree with this idea.  Everything I have ever started tends to take a lot of effort initially and then after time, experience and expertise, it seems that the level of effort decreases.

That decreasing effort seems to follow a curve.

The point is, there are many of you who start something new and expect great results immediately.  I believe this is a false hope.  There will always be extra effort initially and you need to be aware of that and the fact that you cannot change the laws of return on investment.

Similar to the laws of physics, there are laws of ROI, Business and Personal Reward.  These laws cannot be circumvented.  If you drop an apple it will NOT fall up.  Likewise, concentrated effort in business or personal development will NOT return void.

So, when you are starting anything, be prepared to exert that extra effort initially for the final rewards long-term.
