Consistency. I hear groans already..... and the sighs, "Here she goes again."
I love consistency. I love it.
Do you know why?
Because being consistent radically changed my life.
It is this secret sauce of ALL secret sauces.
Forget about hacks to hack the algorithm or social media engagement techniques. If you are not consistent in your business, none of those fancy techniques will work.
And yet, despite it being available to all, most people do not want to embrace it.
"Too boring."
"I get tired."
"Surely, there must be something else I am missing. It cannot be just this?"
I have heard it all. And yes, mastering the mundane is a bit of a chore sometimes, but that's why few achieve mastery. People expect to feel amazing when they are growing, and growth is anything but amazing. And no, there is no other hack.
I am consistently consistent. Wildly consistent.
And I am proud of that.
Once upon a time, I was not ‘THAT' consistent. In fact, if anything could upset me, it would guarantee that I would not do the things that I needed to be doing.
As a result, I was not shifting my life much. Then I read Darren Hardy's book The Compound Effect, and my life changed forever.
I started to understand how small amounts of effect every day, applied similarly, formed habits. Habits were “formed” behaviour - behaviour or an act repeated daily, in the same way. Eventually, it becomes part of your unconscious behaviour, and you do it without thinking.
When I understood habits and consistency, my life changed forever.
That is why I do not subscribe to the “Hustle” mentality. I believe that if you commit to the exact activities you need to do, regardless of what your goal is, and you apply them every day with intention, you build consistency, and it becomes an extension of you. Eventually, your consistent efforts stack, and at some point, you reach an invisible threshold and the compounding effect.
This is why I talk about consistency in Life, Love, and Legacy. If you adopt consistency in all areas of your life, you soon realise that small efforts over time far outweigh massive efforts every now and again.
I want to share with you four key reasons, as we head into the back end of 2024 and move towards 2025, “why” you must embrace consistency so that you start to experience the desired results that have been evading your life for some time.
1. Consistency Helps to Build Trust and Credibility
领英推荐
Consistency is the foundation of trust. Your audience knows they can rely on you when you show up consistently. Imagine your customers/clients buying every time you post on social media. For this to happen, it means you are reliable and dependable. This reliability fosters a deep trust and establishes your credibility in the industry. High-achieving women in business understand that trust is the currency of the professional world. By being consistent, you communicate to your clients, colleagues, and stakeholders that you are dependable and committed to delivering high-quality results every time.
2. Consistency Enhances Skill Development
When you consistently work on a skill or a project, you naturally become better at it. This continuous practice not only develops your abilities but also accelerates your growth. Imagine dedicating just a small amount of time each day to mastering a particular aspect of your business. Over time, these small, consistent efforts compound, leading to significant improvements and advancements. This principle is compelling for women aiming to scale their businesses beyond six figures.
3. Consistency Strengthens Discipline and Willpower
Consistency requires discipline and willpower that, once developed, can be applied to all areas of life. It teaches you to prioritise and commit to your goals, even when lacking motivation. This cultivated discipline drives your success, enabling you to push through challenges and stay focused on your long-term vision. This strength is crucial for high-achieving women in navigating the complexities of scaling a business.
4. Consistency Creates Sustainable Success
Success achieved through consistent effort is more sustainable than that gained through sporadic bursts of activity. Consistency ensures that your progress is steady and reliable, reducing the likelihood of burnout and setbacks. It builds a solid foundation for your business, allowing for continuous growth and adaptability. This approach is essential for women entrepreneurs who are not only looking to reach six figures but also to sustain and exceed that level in the long term.
5. Real-Life Example: Sarah Blakely and Spanx
Sarah Blakely, the founder of Spanx, is a testament to the power of consistency. From the outset, she consistently dedicated time to perfecting her product, pitching to retailers, and building her brand. Despite numerous rejections and challenges, her unwavering consistency in pursuing her vision paid off. Today, Spanx is a multi-million-dollar company, and Blakely is a self-made billionaire. Her story exemplifies how consistent efforts, even in the face of adversity, can lead to extraordinary success.
Final Thought:
While consistency is undeniably powerful in creating long-term change, another equally influential factor is resilience. Resilience is the ability to adapt and bounce back from setbacks, challenges, and failures. You will get many setbacks, things not going to plan and bad days. You will have to develop a thick skin. It complements consistency by ensuring you can maintain your efforts and stay on course despite obstacles. Consistency and resilience form a dynamic duo that can drive lasting success and transformation in both personal and professional realms.
