Episode 7: Consistency with Hailey Rowe
I’m going to tell you a secret that not many people want to talk about in our instant gratification society:
If you want to be successful, you need to be consistent.
That’s it!
If you look at the most successful people in the world in any industry or walk of life, you’ll notice the common thread to all their success was the consistent action they put in day in and day out.
There you have it, if you want to be successful in anything in your life, you need to be consistent.
You’re welcome.
What’s that?
Oh, you think the concept of “consistency” is pretty vague when applied as a blanket term?
And being consistent isn’t something that comes naturally to you?
And you have a perfectionist mindset that keeps you on this hamster wheel from hell of finding ways to beat yourself up?
Those are exactly the areas that Hailey Rowe focuses on when working with health and life coaches who want to grow their business.
In today’s episode, Hailey and I talk about how the concept of consistency is underrated, but also overused and under-defined all at the same time, and the steps and tools you can use to get past some of these mental road blocks on your way to achieving your goals.
