Consistent and Persistent

In order to be successful, it requires being consistent and persistent. Whether you are pursuing a career in sports, music, business or any other endeavor, you must be consistent and persistent.

You do not become outstanding in your chosen field overnight. Get rich quick schemes are not real. It will take consistent focused action every day. If you are determined to achieve your goals then give yourself at least a year. Do not be unrealistic by expecting to make a six figure income per month in your first 90 days. Can you achieve that level over time? Absolutely. The key words are “over time.” You must be consistent in your activities every day.

The best thing you can do for yourself is to establish a daily schedule and absolutely commit to accomplishing that schedule every day. The secret is performing specific actions which move your business forward every day.

Personally I have a rule of 5. I take 5 actions steps every day to move my business forward. I write out the list at night and commit to accomplishing every one of the 5 tasks the next day.

1. Write something in my blog every day.
2. Follow up with my business calls and business emails – calls and emails from new clients and support calls to existing clients who have questions.
3. Read at least 10 pages in a good book and listen to an educational or inspirational cd for at least 30 minutes every day
4. Could be working on a new marketing idea or a new web site – this will vary from day to day
5. This could be working on a new video or audio or writing new autoresponders


You will select your own 5. The key is to be consistent and persistent. Take solid focused action to move yourself forward every day toward your goals.
