At that point it no longer feels like an incremental gain, it feels monumental, it feels huge, it feels like you didn’t just climb up the mountain, but rather ran up it and took a flying leap off of it. But without those small investments, you would have never been able to leap. Don’t doubt the incremental gains simply because you don’t see them immediately, the one day you need
