Beyond Daily Habits: Why What Happens Because of Consistency Matters More

Momentum doesn't appear from nowhere—it's built through the often underappreciated power of consistency. When we talk about being consistent, we're really talking about something far more profound than just showing up daily.

Have you ever considered consistency as the catalyst for an unstoppable force in your life? Picture a massive 5,000-pound steel wheel. Initially, it takes incredible effort to move—years of pushing with seemingly minimal results. But once that wheel starts turning, the physics of momentum transforms everything. The inertia makes it nearly impossible to stop. This powerful metaphor explains why consistency matters more than most realize. It's not just about the daily actions; it's about what those actions eventually create: a self-perpetuating momentum that brings opportunities to you rather than you constantly chasing them.

The challenge many face is the start-stop pattern that kills momentum before it ever builds. Throughout my 32 years in sales, I've watched countless people begin with enthusiasm, stop when immediate results don't materialize, restart, and eventually surrender entirely. Consistency can indeed be boring—a fact that explains why it's so effective. Most people aren't willing to embrace the mundane aspects of success. Finding ways to make consistency enjoyable through small games or humor can help maintain your commitment until you reach that magical state of flow, where everything feels easier and more natural.

💬 Quotes:

• “The discipline of consistency is what creates the momentum.”
• “You stop, you lose the muscle. You stay consistent, you build the momentum.”
• “It’s boring, but boring builds businesses.”

📚 Lessons & Takeaways:

• Consistency builds muscle—both mental and business.
• There is a cadence to success; you can’t skip the rhythm.
• Momentum compounds over time—and once it starts, it’s almost unstoppable.
• Making it fun and embracing the boring helps sustain the habit.
• The biggest mistake? Starting and stopping again and again.

🔥 Analogy Highlight: Imagine trying to push a 5,000 lb steel wheel. It takes immense effort to get it moving—but once it does, the inertia keeps it spinning. That’s the power of consistency.

Episode Transcript

Speaker 1 (00:00):
Why consistency is more.
Why is consistency more thanyou think Everybody talks about
got to be consistent, got to beconsistent, have to be
consistent.
Although, why do you have to beconsistent?
Well, the obvious things.
But it's more than that.
It's more than what beingconsistent is, it's what happens

(00:26):
because of it.
So, when we're consistent, weexpect a certain cadence to
happen on a daily basis.
So there's a cadence that youbuild of how you work your day.
When you stop that consistency,the cadence is all messed up.
So the cadence is messed up andthat puts you off track.

(00:49):
Why else is consistency moreimportant than we think?
You build momentum by beingconsistent.
Every single you stop time, youstop being consistent doing the
work whether it's the work orthe workout or the eating and
you slide down, start sliding.
Now, when you are consistent,you build that muscle.

(01:11):
Whatever that muscle is,whether it's work or personal,
you build the muscle and becauseof that, you get better and you
get better and you get betterand you get better.
But while you're getting better, what happens is that you build
momentum.
You build momentum.
So imagine this Imagine amassive 5,000 pound steel wheel.

(01:35):
5,000 pound steel wheel.
How much momentum andconsistency does it take to move
that A lot?
It could take years ofconsistency and momentum.
But here's the best part of itOnce you get the steel wheel

(01:55):
moving with inertia, it's almostimpossible to stop the steel
wheel from moving.
That, my friends, is reason initself to be consistent, because
if you, daily, are notconsistent, you can never get

(02:16):
that wheel to start to spin.
And when that wheel starts tospin, business starts to come to
you organically.
People call, say they want tobuy, they want to sell.
Things happen and not becauseyou're lucky, because the harder
you work, the luckier you get.
So it's all because of theconsistency and the time and the

(02:40):
effort that you put in to bringthe big mo and that's momentum.
And when you have momentum, lifeis good.
You stop the momentum fromcoming when you start and stop
and start and stop and stop.
I've seen it over and over andover again In my 32 years in

(03:01):
sales 21 in real estate.
People start and then they stop.
Then they got to start all overagain and you know what happens
People quit, they give up.
It sucks, but they give up.
So being consistent day in, dayout, guess what?
It's boring.
So a lot of times I make thingsfun by laughing, doing little

(03:24):
silly things, just to continueto stay consistent and following
the process.
So I'm not bored.
I make up little games as I'mgoing along and if somebody says
something crazy to me on thephone I just laugh.
But it's all about keeping theconsistency going so you can
build the momentum.
That is why you be consistentand you build the muscle and you

(03:51):
build the cadence, and there isa cadence to this business to
be in flow and when you are inflow, everything's so much
easier, so much easier whenyou're in flow.
So message today is consistencyis more than you think it is
and the reasons why are greater,much more greater than actually

(04:15):
just being consistent in itself.
I hope that you like thismessage.

I know you got it to beconsistent.
