Consistency is Key

10/18/2024

Consistency is guaranteed results. Small daily habits are more powerful than big occasional efforts.

The Consistency Effect

Consistency creates momentum. When you take consistent action towards your goals you create a positive feedback loop. Each small step reinforces your commitment and gets you closer to success.

Focus on Actions not Wishes

Wishing for results is passive. Taking action is active. Instead of waiting for your dreams to happen, identify the steps and start taking them now. Break your goals down into small tasks and do them consistently.

Small Steps

Don’t underestimate the power of small actions. Consistent small improvements add up over time to big progress. Focus on daily incremental progress not big change.

Time is not the Enemy

You can’t control time but you can control your actions. Consistent effort means steady progress no matter how long it takes. Trust the process and keep taking daily action.

Intention

Pairing consistency with intention amplifies your results. When you set intentions you align your actions with your goals and create a powerful synergy. Your consistent effort becomes more focused and effective.

Obstacles

Consistency helps you get through obstacles. When you hit a bump you’ll keep moving forward because of your daily habit. Consistency builds resilience and keeps you in motion even when things get tough.

Progress

Acknowledge your consistency. Recognise each small step contributes to your overall success. Celebrate your progress no matter how small and that will reinforce your commitment and keep you taking consistent action.

The Mailbox Method: Why Your To-Do List Doesn't Need Drama

What if your to-do list didn't need a pep talk? Most entrepreneurs treat their daily tasks like battles to win—pumping themselves up, fighting resistance, pushing through. But that intensity creates the very obstacles you're trying to overcome. The mailbox method is different: you don't hype yourself up to get the mail, you just go get it. Your tasks work the same way. Each one is simply mail waiting to be collected—no drama required.

Unlearning vs. Learning

This can be something as small as a bad habit, or something as large as an entire way of thinking. Unlearning is important because it allows us to correct mistakes, adapt to new information, and change our behavior.

Society Calls You a Dilettante. I Call It Strategic Redundancy

For as long as I can remember, I've been told to focus on one thing. At 47, after launching more than 20 businesses since 1998, I finally realized the truth: my inability to specialize wasn't a weakness—it was my superpower. While specialists become fragile when their industry changes, I built redundancy. Multiple pillars of expertise that let me pivot, adapt, and survive when markets disappeared overnight. If you've spent your life jumping between interests and feeling guilty about it, stop apologizing. You're not a dilettante. You're building an M-shaped mind.
