Consistently keep your eyes focused on the goal.
Learn from every situation along the way.

Persist until you reach your goal.
These 5 steps appear to be very simple and they are simple. The problem is that most people quit at the first little bump in the road. Being consistent and persistent sounds like a great idea until there is a problem or someone offers you something fun to do instead of working your business.
Being consistent and persistent means setting a firm goal you passionately desire. Set a goal which instills such passion and desire in you that you will persist through all of the learning curves. Yes, everything worth while does have a learning curve. How long that learning curve persists depends on how diligently you work and how focused you are during that time. The length of the learning curve also depends on your level of competency at the starting point and the level you choose to achieve.
The more passionate you are about your goal, the easier it will be to persist until victory. Absolutely every successful person has endured and mastered a learning curve. Every successful person encountered challenges. The more persistent and more consistent you are about meeting and conquering those challenges, the more successful you will become.
Victory always belongs to the consistent and persistent.
