Consistency Leaves Clues
Consistency leaves clues (do something nice for future you)
This morning I’ve done thing things I don’t want to do
– I am doing them every day –
Right now?
– unpleasantness
– not very good at them
– simply don’t want to do them and they smell and are rubbish heads
BUT
I know if I keep doing them, yes every day, that one weeks I’ll feel better and In months I’ll feel great
– and then they will be habits –
This group you are part of and the things I have achieved have been down, in part, to stubborn consistency
It’s doing things WHEN you don’t want to do them for a long period of time – which doesn’t sound ‘sexy’ I know – that leads to rather fab results
As well as having been around online for a bit now, I won’t won’t into it but have a rather odd visual memory
I can remember things in crazy detail and posts and chats from ages ago like it’s a picture or video I’m playing back
There are people who I met online who were just starting out of waaaay ‘behind’ of where I was
Those that kept consistent and didn’t flip flop what they were doing every few months are genuinely doing great now
I was running through my friends list and a good chunk of these peeps were at best modest if any success and are now most low six/mid 6-figures and a few 7+ (as a biz overall not just them)
Doing the same shit they did 6 years ago but got better and better and kept growing
Here’s something I’ve found
If you’re a reader there will be a time when you need to move on from business/marketing/personal development books
Because you will know the basics, what works and some great models and how to apply them
For me a lot of inspiration comes from history (it’s tends to repeat itself), philosophy (great for when your mind becomes less ‘busy’ and want more from life once basics sorted) and mainly biographies (and QUALITY – I emphasise that word for a reason) podcasts
Learning form those who have achieved success in business, spots, science, the arts etc is fascinating
All of them faced set backs…
Many of them WERENT naturally talented or ‘the best’ at what they did..
But they WERE consistent
And right now the ability to keep going ON MESSAGE while staying the course will see you sail through to the other side of this shitstorm
