The Power of Consistency

14 years ago

I couldn't agree more, I think consistency is so overlooked, one of my favourite quotes from back in the days of my sales jobs was "ordinary actions repeated consistently lead to extraordinary outcomes". I think with real consistency it is actually possible to "fail your way to success" - like that story of the rocket that "fails it's way to the moon"

.

I wouldn't say that everything I do is a failure by any stretch, but I would say that everything individually is definitely ordinary, but if you put it all together and keep doing it, it brings a good result.

I think if youre not consistent youre not truly successful, and if youve failed once or twice and then given up then you just havent failed enough to succeed

Keep at it!

That's true. 'Slow and steady wins the race" is one statement that keeps me going when I feel like, I haven't done as much as I should. Tomorrow is another day and just move on no matter what your day had been yesterday.

If you were to choose one word that's making a big difference in your success what word would that be?

There are a lot of words... Work, persistence, patience, self-discipline, will, change.... I can not pick just one.

I agree, doing something every day brings us great opportunities for progress and growth.

Yeah..it kind of freaks me out sometimes...I'm like yeah I'm nothin but a machine....laaame. But at least I'm a machine that can change myself because I accept that we're creatures of habit....to make new habits we have to purposely work them into our routines.

In other words...if we accept we are nothing but a series of habits, we can more easily accept ourselves and choose to create new ones..

The best time in the day to change a habit...bright and early....when we still have all of our energy.

Like you said, although we are bound to follow along our habits daily, we still have the power to break each bad habits and turn them into good habits that we want to develop. I also agree to start doing that in the morning when your mind is still fresh and well rested. Thanks for sharing.

Similar but they have their own important qualities. I see consistency as being focused and doing something everyday no matter how little it is. You may not necessarily deal with challenges but probably distractions.

Persistence on the other hand is the power of not giving up no matter what situations you're in. Nothing will get you down and nothing will make you give up.

The most important things for me are FOCUS, PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE. Being an internet marketer isn't easy and there are lots of instances wherein you seek and receive information here and there, you experience ups and downs split testing methods and then you eventually needed a break. Thus, it takes time to find for the right things to focus on and manage them to earn a living.

Bottomline, if you want to be successful, don't ever procrastinate again and retain those 3!

FOCUS, PATIENCE and DISCIPLINE these are definitely a must to master to make it in any business. Patience is something I had to learn the hard way. Focus and discipline had not been as much difficult for me, but am far off from mastering them. Still working at them every day. The most important lesson I had learned is to forgive myself for the things I hadn't done yesterday and to give myself the same opportunity today as I did yesterday. That's seems to work great and helps me to achieve better than yesterday.

Totally agree.
I think it also helps to be focused, patient and disciplined about the RIGHT THINGS, ie. do some LEARNING and TESTING first, then DO like crazy.

Keeping sane with quality food and exercise helps too... keep the mind in top shape, take a break now and then. I learned it the hard way when I fried my brain few too many times

Consistency is really important, as long as you also remember that doing the same thing and expecting different results can be a sign of insanity. I think someone else made a thread about that the other day. I know it sounds like contradicting ideas, and it really is. The trick is to know when you're on the path towards success. Like, knowing how and when to make small changes to your plan with consistency to your overall plan, rather than just repeating the same mistakes and not learning from them. I think that's the biggest thing to remember when focusing on consistency.

I have been having this feeling; trying to test sales pages, writing articles, building links, and not knowing when to stop. I had been feeling a little "crazy" because it seemed like nothing was working. So, was I being consistent or insane?

Now I have learned when I feel like that to ask for help - and take a break. :rolleyes:

So, my 2 cents is to use consistency in learning, testing, writing, linking, analyzing results, taking a break and doing it again. Consistently.

Thanks for this post.

Take care,
Cindy P.

That one word would be attitude. I say attitude, because how you think and look at things determines how you act & react to it. A positive attitude will help one stay focused, no matter how long it takes to succeed. With an attitude of instant gratification, it is short lived, thus, always looking for the easy way out. So, I'd say attitude! :-)

What you said reminded me of a quote by Wayne Dyer "If you change the way you look at things, the things you look at change." This comes down to attitude. Definitely a must to master.

Welcome to the forum. Is it a great place to hang around when you take a break from your work, is it?

I really like how faith is a great part of your success. If you don't have faith in what you're doing, you may not take action or do anything. Faith is the foundation of what you do; without it you have nothing. Thanks for this post.

I think the reason I like this word of Consistency so much is because, it keeps reminding me that no matter how little it is, whatever I do goes to making a difference. I then stop thinking that I'm far away from my goal and then helps me to focus on the little things that I can do to make a difference.

Melvin Truth Holloway 14 years ago

When a question is asked, "what it takes to succeed in anything in life?" - Consistency should be in the top 5! Come to think of it - everything that I went to accomplish in my life and had been successful was always linked to consistency.

If you have a 9-5 job, then you are consistenly working 8 hours per day for someone else making them rich. If you want to work at home full-time for yourself in the future - then why not spend a few hours working toward that goal. Work Consistent hours as if it is your second job - and don't be late. You will soon make more in those 3-4 hours part-time than you do full-time at a regular job.

The mistake many marketers make is treating their business like a hobby instead of a job in the beginning.

  Hi Melvin,
  Yes, in addition to that some people calculate how many hours they spent on their IM business to figure out how much they earned per hour. For the most part at the beginning you may not even making a penny an hour but at the end you will surprise yourself with the results. You may end up earning beyond your imagination. That only comes with consistency and persistent action among other qualities mentioned on this thread. Thanks for sharing. very insightful.

Yes, that is a universal law that can't be bent. You will reap the fruits of your hard work. That's why you don't want to give up or change your plan or be inconsistent. The universe will not know what to give you if you keep changing your mind. An analogy that I like to use is that if you call the Pizza place and order for a home delivery and then you call back a few minutes latter changing your mind, you're not going to get the pizza.

Yes, they are somewhat related. Perseverance is more of getting up and going after a challenge and not letting anything put you down. Think of it as nothing that happens changes your plan.

Consistency is not jumping here and there with different ideas and plans. It's more of doing something daily towards your goal. They both are needed for success.

I have again and again seen consistent people outperform great people with brilliant talents because THEY ACT.

We are back to the story of the Hare and the Turtle. All success in our life is based on consistency. Learning to walk, talk, read, study and work is all based on a consistent effort. An effort that made us learn line upon line, precept upon precept.

To me lake of consistency is like the farmer that discover that harvest is near in September. As he did not sowed in April, his effort of sowing, growing and harvesting in a week is futile.

Consistency is also a unbeaten way of creating trust...

Consistency is key . I am going to share my story of how I overcame inconsistency in my life .

My Story
Major problem I had in my life was never being consistent because i didnot deliver when i promised myself that i was going to do something .for example i said i was going to go exercising but because only me made that promise i often did not follow through .

I thought nobody else was watching so nobody else will nag about it if i don't do what i promised

The Real Problem

I never trusted my self to do anything because i rarrely i ever did what i promised to do so the promises were meaningless .It also meant that i could never really be consistent at any task which ofcouse meant that I could not succeed at making money online or losing weight or improve other areas of my life e.t.c .

The solution

I used to say affirmation everyday about how persistent I am but it never really made a diffrence . i did not really believe it

So one day , I read a book and I decided to do something suggested in the book for a change. I decided to write down 3 things i did toward achieving my goal every day before i sleep so that I would create evidence of my consistency

What actually happened was that I jogged 135 day in a row so any time i had doubt i would open my success journal (small little book where i wrote three things i did to reach my goal )

I now truly believe that I am persistent because I have the experience to back it up (my success journal )

Being Consistent in online ventures is mandatory. We often want the pie in the sky, but we don't want to spend the much needed hours to bake that pie. lol lol lol Yeah I know that was a little corney. The point is that most online ventures that are successful takes time, patience, and consistency. You have to do repeated tasks over a period of time to get substantial results. You get out what you put in. If you are consistent with taking care of your online venture, your online venture will be consistent when taking care of you.

Consistency is a necessary ingredient in success. It’s strange, because most people do not seem to know its true power.

Whenever I start a project there’s that initial excitement that always keeps me going for weeks to sometimes months.

When it wears off things can get rough, that is when you truly want to know you’re doing something you love.

I don’t even want to count the amount of projects I’ve started and given up after the initial steam.

Even when you’re passionate about something, you still have to whip out your discipline to keep going through the dips. When you get through that first valley, the results can sometimes be quite amazing.

My word is honest.

Being honest with yourself allows you to make intelligent decisions. It's easy to get caught up in the stuff that's not working for you, whilst taking for granted the actions that are. Be honest with yourself, what is making you money? Refine it, scale it, automate it.

Being honest with others is the foundation of any relationship. The second part is providing honest value - the money just comes with it.

One of the "behind the scenes" principles tapped by successful people is their ability to persevere, to keep on being productive in spite of circumstances. Consistent leads to desired consequences. It is the ability to apply oneself to the tasks that lead to the fulfillment of a goal. Consistency is the opposite of working only when one feels inspire

I agree with these statements. Very well said. I always say that when you are after a goal, you must work regardless of your state of mind daily towards your goal. An example would be going to YMCA (Fitness center) rain or sunshine, feeling like working out or not to obtain your desired fitness level.

Consistency is a very important thing. In fact when picking your pace of work, you must ask yourself will I hold this pace consistantly?" A lot of people (including me) failed because they weren't consistant.

Another thing of importance is organization. If you are organized in what you do, that will make it easier for you to be consistent. Once you get a routine down, you'll be amazed at the difference it makes in your life.

I absolutely agree about being organized. I used to be organization freak. I used to spend more time trying to organize and put things in order than working in my business. I now take it easy as it was affecting my productivity. When organization is made in moderation it absolutely helps one to become successful.

You know, this is something people essentially know is true deep down, but consistency can be a dirty word i guess for those that choose to feel that way about it because it means some work.

But essentially it's what builds momentum which equals progress which equals something else good........

Consistency is absolutey key to achieving anything in life. You must have the drive and determination to succeed to be consistent. What is very important though is to do what works.

Its no use doing something everyday if that thing is producing no results. You must first find what works and do it EVERYDAY on a consistent basis.

Remember, Focus, Determination, Persistance, Motivation and Action are the key aspects of success and anyone who has all those qualities and uses them on a consistent daily basis will undoubtably succeed.

I have to agree on this one- and I write about it often too in my blog, and like to think I practice it too!

You may think you aere only moving ahead slowly, but think of all thew effort to get started on something, xcompared to the ewffort to keep going. It's all about momentum as well. I have ound that I just do a littl eeach day, (or you can do a lot), but stay consistent. You will actually come out ahead of someone who is just averaging very basic results, even if they are going full steam ahead in short bursts.

If I can give any advice, please stay consistent- it will pay off...

Persistence is the one word that sticks out in my mind.

If I hadn't kept going I wouldn't have picked up the knowledge to succeed. It's only by persisting through the tough times that I've succeeded.

I also feel that having a strong desire and faith in self is important, but without persistence nothing significant would have occurred in my life.

Consistency and focus for me. I found that until I became really focused on what it is I want out of life - or rather, life forced me to become focused! - it was hard to keep working consistently.

But when you have a very clear aim in life everything else just somehow seems to fall into place. Just like that book, "Think and grow rich" says it will! I think it should be essential reading for everyone, business or no business.

I also came across a very effective and powerful self help technique a couple of years ago and it has been incredible for me. Check out Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) (link in sig). It is totally free and non-for-profit. And it works!

CONSISTENCEY BACKED WITH PERSISTENCE IS THE KEY.

Success isn't about doing big things. It's about doing small things every single day consistently for a period of time.

You are not going to make money by writing 50 articles one day and submitting them today. Maybe you'll have a few sales. But you'll definitely succeed if you write 5 articles every day for thirty days. You would end up earning a $100/day income stream. Most people even me fails to realize this.

Instead of writing 5 articles every day for new campaigns, write 5 every day for your winners. In the end, you'll end up dominating that niche and you'll be having mind blowing sales. That's what I've discovered after my fair share of troubles in the last 2 years.

I want to thanks the OP for posting this thread. This is such a wonderful thread!

Yes, consistency is the most important principle that come right after desire. Desire and consistency are 2 success principles that are closely kneaded together. They are twin sisters, without desire, there will be no consistency. Without consistency, the desire will wear off slowly after that.

Mind Map:

So it is Desire --> Consistent In Taking Actions --> Increase Desire --> Consistent In Taking More Actions --> Habit Forming --> Character Building --> Destiny

Consistency is something that is pretty much a prerequisite in IM due to the fact that we're bombarded with so many systems and bright shiny objects on an almost daily basis.

We need to be consistently doing what brings us results, and unfortunately without the proper focus and resolve it's all too easy to jump from one system to another. In order to truly succeed at IM, we need to be consistently implementing and doing that makes us money. Typically this can be tedious, boring and not something we're looking forward to, but it needs to be done if we truly want to succeed.

As you have probably deduced, success is not a flash in the pan or a sudden overnight occurrence, it is derived through habit and consistency!

Typically this can be tedious, boring and not something we're looking forward to, but it needs to be done if we truly want to succeed.

As you have probably deduced, success is not a flash in the pan or a sudden overnight occurrence, it is derived through habit and consistency!

Consistency can be a powerful force as long as you don't let it morph into complacency. We are creatures of habit but it can be this same habit that locks us into consistent mediocrity.

I agree with you on that. There is not point in being consistent if we're not breaking bad habits.

I think you are one of the key to everything we do in our lives. Consistency is the key to success in everything. For me, I know that if I did not surf for 3-4 days in a row, the first day back is always a challenge. But the days I made 4-5 days in a row, I surf the best of my ability.

I agree with being consistent. Another word that comes to mind is Passion. There has been many days when I didn't feel like getting my day started, but having a passion for what I'm working on carried me through. Having that passion made me consistent. Great post! See you at the top!

Let's be honest, if you don't have passion you're not going to do a thing. I remember working part-time for a company and I hated that job passionately. It was a drag to even get there. Once I quit my job and decided that I'll stay home with the kids while living within the income my husband brought home was the best decision I ever made. I now work a minimum of 8 hours a day in my online business. I also work weekends. I rarely take a break. When I do it's because I have to attend to my kids. I know why I work long hours but I'm happy all the time. I also know why I care less whether I took a break or not. Simply because of passion. I'm passionate about my online business. In fact, I don't even see it as a job. I see it as something fun to do. If I didn't have this fueling passion within me, I wouldn't have survived all the trials and challenges I went through this business. I still have a long way to go but I know I'm getting there. Thank you for saying "see you at the top" because those words meant to me a lot. See you at the top to all of you as well. Keep the passion going it will carry you through heard times and good times. That's all you've got to make this work. All the consistency, persistence, hard work, plan, goals, vision, desire, wish, motivation is not going to be there to help you unless all is filled with passion.

Thanks

I started putting away $200 a month, every month with no exceptions, until about 4 months ago. As of August 2010, I've put away around $4800. I've stopped because of some small financial difficulties - I was pretty much going paycheck to paycheck. I plan on resuming my savings starting in January. In 5 months, I will have missed out on $1000 that I could have had in savings, because I made unwise financial choices (and frankly, some unfortunate investments). Just to think that all that time has gone by in a flash, and I don't have the expected $5,800, and only $4800 instead, blows my mind.

There are plenty of words but how about the following which should surely strike a cord with many reading this and result in more consistency and focus:

SUBJECT: Are you a Marketing Strategy Juggler?

When I say Marketing Strategy Juggler I mean do you rush around trying every Marketing strategy which comes on the market from the latest PPC and Adsense ideas to SEO and joint venture suggestions?

In simple terms do you juggle your Marketing Strategies just like a juggler might juggle with china plates or rubber balls? Never juggling anything for very long and forever moving from one Marketing Strategy to the next Marketing Strategy?

You are not alone, internet marketers are forever dreaming up fanciful Marketing Strategies and selling them on their hype filled sales pages, so it's easy to get lost in the false promises and so called guarantees of instant, free and easy Marketing!

Most people wanting to run an internet business do just the same, buying into the latest fad software, idea and program.

It's definitely not the way to run your internet business.

And if you follow my suggestion you will even generate more Marketing by taking on just one Marketing Strategy...

Get it working before moving on to the next ...

If you have your own product(s) or sell other peoples product(s) as an affiliate you should only concentrate on ONE Marketing Strategy at a time ...

Just take on one Marketing Strategy, do it properly, focus on that one Marketing Strategy and you WILL reap the rewards.

It's better to operate one tried, proven and tested Marketing Strategy than to jump from one Marketing Strategy to the next, never really getting anywhere, only to eventually give up!

After all juggling is for clowns and most definitely NOT for internet marketers...

Don't run your business like a clown.

Thanks internet corporation

You reminded me of a chat I had on facebook recently where I was asked whether I was still using the system I had seen success with, well no I wasn't because I could not repeat my initial success so I had moved into areas where I had no history of success, Doh!

Time to return to the systems that worked and figure out what I did right the first time, repeat, prove and scale up.

Annie,
This is an extremely important word in any business - consistency. I totally agree with your post. I think that everyone goes through a relaxed moment and pause from the commitment towards achieving the goals. It's like having a short break. The risk with this is that one may get lost and finds it difficult to get back on track.

I always make sure to do something everyday that helps me to progress towards my goals. It becomes a habit, a positive one.

I advice everyone to do this and never give up. Be consistent in your thoughts and in your actions.

Thanks

Consistency is important because it makes you better at what you're doing. It's almost like practice makes perfect....or nearly so. One thing is for sure, progress is not made without paying steady attention to a goal.

I think the key to being consistent is to know your limits and rest when you need to and if you can - plan it ahead. Most of the time people try too hard and just burn out - that will result in being off schedule.

Consistency is not just about doing the same over and over again. Its about raising your mental state to the optimal level, to continue to perform at a high standard despite any difficulties. It's a great way to grind one's character and ability.

I agree that consistency is one of the pillars of success in anything. We hear stories about people who achieved great things, and so often only see the 'grand finale event' that got them their fame, and completely ignore how long they worked at it every day before they were rewarded.

I can't tell you how many people I know that have come to with some big idea to make money and once they see the smallest obstacle they give up....

The most golden rule is that money is never made easily despite what anyone else says or makes it seem like, unless you are born into a very wealthy family or marry into one but that's another story...

Truth be told is to mind your own business- embrace self-expressionism of bettering yourself everyday.

I would choose 'persistence' because successful people in life have gone through many challenges chasing their dreams but at no point did they give up.
