Building a Consistency System for Success

Most people believe success is about grand actions and perfect days. They envision a flawless routine filled with productivity, intense workouts, and self-care. But the truth is, success is about consistency, not perfection.

When you have a plan in place for your mind, body, and soul, building a concept of a ceiling and a floor into your routine ensures that you stay consistent, regardless of life’s ups and downs.

What’s Your Ceiling? Defining Your Best-Case Effort

In an ideal world, what does your perfect day look like? For example, the ceiling for your exercise might be:

• 2-Hour Session: Cardio, resistance training, and maybe a swim or cold plunge.
• A day where everything falls into place and you feel unstoppable.

But the truth is, perfect days are rare. And that’s okay, because success isn’t about perfection. It’s about showing up—no matter what.

What’s Your Floor? Setting Your Minimum Effort

The floor is the baseline effort you commit to, even on your busiest days. For example, the floor for your exercise might be:

• 5-Minute Routine: 15 push-ups, 15 pull-ups, and a quick 5-minute fast-paced walk.
• The bare minimum to keep momentum going.

?? Why does this work? Because consistency is more powerful than intensity.

The Key to Success: Consistency Within Your Daily Actions

Most people only show up when they’re motivated or when circumstances are ideal. But success is about creating a system you can rely on, regardless of how you feel.

?? Consistent Action → Over time, small efforts compound into massive results. ?? No Zero Days → By having a ceiling and a floor, you eliminate the risk of doing nothing. ?? Systems Over Willpower → Your routine becomes a habit, and habits lead to success.

?? Perfect days are rare, but consistent days build empires.

Moving Forward: Building Your Ceiling and Floor System

1. Define Your Ceiling: What does your best-case effort look like in each area (mind, body, soul)?
2. Set Your Floor: What’s the minimum action you can commit to every day?
3. Commit to Consistency: Focus on building momentum, not chasing perfection.
