Reminds me of the story behind my favorite Rockefeller quote. "Everything that is watched - improves." - John D. Rockefeller.
John D. Rockefeller had a rule that he passed down to his kids: donate exactly 10% of all your income to charitable causes. Not 9%. Or 11%. But exactly 10%.
What this did is made sure that the Rockefellers kept "track" of each and every penny that came in. Because they watched over their money, it grew.
