Success Habits - Being Conistent

Today’s topic in our series of Success Habits is being consistent. Consistency is successfully repeating, each day, at least the minimum amount of activity that is in your plan and is congruent with your long term goals. Your plan having already been worked out and approved by your mentor.

The key to your success here, the key to consistency is to be very clear on your “WHY”.

Your “WHY” will help you implement the plan and more. In fact the clearer you are the easier the activity and the motivation to do the activity will be. So once you are connected strongly at the emotional level with your “WHY” the stronger your activity will be no matter what challenges you face.

So what is your “WHY” ?

The “WHY” is the reason, inspiration and motivation as to why you are doing this business. The “WHY” leaves you crystal clear as to “WHY” you NEED success no matter what! The magnitude of your “WHY” will determine the magnitude of your success.

Often it will take a great deal of soul searching to get to the depths you need to achieve the emotional level we are talking about here. The emotional level should be such that when you share your “WHY” with others it causes a deep emotional response within you. You know when you have it when speaking about it – it causes you to cry and you know that you would even give your life for the cause!

So how do you go about discovering your “WHY” ?

Start off thinking about the ones you love the most. What sort of family member do you want to be? How would you like to contribute to the cause of deeply enriching your life and the lives of all those you love?

Think deeply about your purpose in life. Think about what you would like others to remember you by! What contribution would you like to make for the greater good of man. Do you want to be a person of impact and make a difference? If so, how?

Once you have worked out your “WHY” and you are clear on your daily activity - it is time to get to work. As you move through your day be focused on the task at hand. Avoid multitasking so you can give your full attention and focus to the task at hand. It is a good idea to work in two hour blocks and then to take a short break before starting another 2 hour block.

Monitor your thought patterns especially when you come across challenges. Challenges can come in many different forms. You might find it challenging to keep on schedule with distractions that come along. In your activity you may well find that results are hard to come by and your goals seem far off! This is the battle that NEEDS to be fought and won! Know that sometimes you will miss your goals and sometimes you will achieve more than you expect. Know that over time your results will average out and your carefully crafted plan will work out.

Whenever you find your thought patterns moving towards the negative, stop remind yourself of your “WHY” and remember that the key is consistency and that is all your need to concern yourself with. It is a good idea to find a piece of music to attach to your “WHY” so when you face these challenges you can play the music and move again deeply into your “WHY”

Consistency is born from a clear understanding of WHY you are doing the activity and knowing where you will end up if you are consistent. You will achieve the result and like road markers along your journey you will know you are on track.

So finally be persistent in your efforts, be consistent about being consistent and know that if you are consistent YOU WILL ARRIVE and enjoy your goals and dreams fulfilled!

You will find yourself living a life full of purpose and meaning and you will have a life full of magnificence and abundance. You will be living to your full potential in life – the life you were meant to live!
