The mechanism

The chart shows two lines over a year on the same problem. The red "rescue" line starts high, then fades as each quick fix gets dropped for the next one. The dark "system" line starts low, grows slowly, then crosses over and pulls ahead for good. Real results come from doing the same right things week after week, not from one heroic month.

Part of Persistence. Infrastructure that keeps growth compounding past founder heroics.
