Why Consistency Is The Ultimate Motivation Tool

Why Consistency Is The Ultimate Motivation Tool

Motivation is so important when it comes to getting up in the morning, following a schedule and doing your best work possible. Without motivation, goals and dreams would likely be unattainable — well, goals and dreams that are worth reaching, that is. When it comes to motivation, entrepreneurs can consider consistency the ultimate motivation tool.

Why is consistency so important when it comes to the business world? Well, we will give you three crucial reasons here shortly. But first, know this: Without motivation, giving it your absolute best is likely not possible. It really doesn’t matter how you find it, but motivation is something that people have to find every single day if they plan on living a life that is filled with success.

Enter consistency, which should be considered the ultimate motivation tool.

Consistency Leads To All-Star Habits

Consistency in your life leads to all-star habits, and with all-star habits, you can live a life that is filled with, well, whatever you want. What are some of these habits that you gain, one might be wondering? Well, that depends on the person.

For instance, if you are a health guru and that is a big part of your life, consistency could lead to you going to the gym every day, eating healthy and being in great shape. If you want to be the next best writer, then consistency could lead to you finally finishing your first book, reading more and simply becoming a better writer.

Being consistent should lead to people being more productive, meeting every deadline and being the happiest version of themselves.

A Great Routine/Schedule Is Everything

Why is consistency the ultimate motivation tool? Well, because consistency leads to a great routine, a flawless schedule. Having a great routine and schedule is the key to being on track every single day. On top of that, it’s the key to making your goals and dreams come true.

A great routine and schedule is literally your map to success. While setting goals and dreams and then keeping them close to your heart is essential, a great routine and schedule is the actual act of you following your dreams.

Without consistency, none of this would be possible. Without consistency in your life, your days would become a maze because you wouldn’t know where to start, where to go or what the finish line looked like.

It’s great to have boosts of energy, which could lead to you working at odd times as a result (such as 10 at night), but the key to success is doing your work at the same time every day. Building that habit is something all entrepreneurs have to do.

Motivational Quotes/Videos Only Last For So Long

There are so many things that motivate us. Simply watching a motivational video or reading an inspiring quote can get us in the right mindset, but this burst of motivation only lasts for so long. We are not saying that you shouldn’t read motivational quotes and watch inspiring videos, because that is far from the truth. What we are saying is this: While these things inspire us, we cannot rely on them for ultimate motivation.

Quotes and videos only keep the mind inspired for so long. When they start to wear off, people start to go back to their old habits. That’s why building strong habits through consistency is the tool to winning the marathon.

Some of your day could consist of motivational quotes and videos (heck, that would be a great way to start off the day), but you have to have a fallback plan when these things don’t have the same effect as they once did. That is where consistency comes into play. Without it, the idea of building a schedule and creating good habits simply wouldn’t exist.

Perfect Kevin. Inspiring. First you pick your destination. Then you get directions. You then start towards your destination. You try to stay on the path because that is the only way you will ever get there.

One of the easiest ways of building consistency is with "mini habits". Doing something so easy on a consistent basis until it becomes habit. Such as; doing 1 push up everyday. Writing 50 words everyday. Overtime you find that this will become ingrained and you will increase what you are doing - you develop consistency.

I completely agree! Consistency is highly important to your success. I talk to people a lot about how motivational quotes are great, and reading is great, but if you do not act on them, they really mean nothing. It is a short term burst of energy, but you have to take action in order to maintain that energy. Combined with consistency, you'll have the fuel you need to have the most productive day possible!
