I have found that one of the biggest things that sets apart those who really get to capitalize on their dreams and ambitions and those who fizzle out early on is consistency and follow through. I would like to define each of these very quickly for you.

Consistency

Being able to stick to a plan for growth and provide a predictable yet useful offering on a consistent basis. Showing up to work on time every day shows you are consistent, and it suggests that you are on the path to becoming the best _____________ that you can be. So much of the battle comes down to this question, "Are you able to show keep showing up?"

Follow-Through

Follow-Through goes right along with consistency. It includes the commitment that you are making to yourself and to others to achieve and work your best towards a specific result or output. Someone with fantastic follow-through says they will make something happen, and then they do. They are likely an elite performer of life. Truly this is a trait worth pursuing.

Professionals are able to deliver consistently and with a high degree of follow-through. The best basketball players shoot towards the basket and then also put themselves in a position to follow through on their shot when they miss. This is exactly what I have not been doing lately.

With that all said though I am learning and trying to get better. I know that with time and as I improve my systems, ways of thinking, etc. I will surely improve in this area and be able to give more bountifully than I ever have. That is my aim, and I am shooting towards it.

I hope this episode gave you some perspective and thoughts that will help you with the upcoming week. The best is yet to come. :)
