5 Inexcusable Reasons Why 79% of Success is Just Showing Up and Doing the Essential Work
Do you ever wonder why some people succeed while others don't?
In my twenties, I was always searching for the destination of success.
Every time I reached some "end," I'd quickly replace it with another future destination. I was never satisfied. I built my life around reaching goals. I never celebrated. I never took the time to appreciate the path and all the lessons I'd learned.
Over time I realized the journey was the process of reaching my destination, not the destination itself.
It's not just luck or talent that separates successful people.
It's the simple act of showing up consistently and putting in the necessary effort. If you want to succeed in any area of your life, you must understand why consistency matters.
Reason 1: Consistency builds momentum.
You start to build momentum when you show up and do the work consistently. Each small action adds up over time and propels you toward your goals.
Reason 2: Resilience to overcome obstacles.
Consistency helps you develop resilience. You'll face obstacles and challenges along the way, but if you keep showing up and doing the work, you'll be better equipped to handle them.
Reason 3: You build meaningful relationships.
When you consistently show up, you build trust and credibility with others. This will lead to valuable connections and opportunities.
Reason 4: Daily discipline compounds over time.
The daily discipline of showing up and doing the work compounds over time. Small actions become habits, and habits become successes.
Remember:
Systems > Goals.
Reason 5: You constantly learn & improve your skills.
Consistent effort allows you to learn and improve your skills over time. Even if you're not proficient at something initially, with practice, consistency, and patience, you can master it.
Success is not just a matter of luck or talent.
It's about showing up and doing the work. So don't wait for inspiration or motivation to strike. Show up and do the work that matters most, day after day.
Are you ready to show up and do the work?
Start by setting small, daily habits or systems that help you take action consistently.
Remember, 79% of your success is focusing on the few things that matter most.
