C-O-N-S-I-S-T-E-N-C-Y
acting or behaving in the same way over time and showing a pattern of regularity.
This month marks 25 years of running my own business in coaching and consulting.
It has led me to interact with hundreds of business owners
and work closely with a number of them.
It’s meant ups and downs,
twists and turns
and learning that the business world is full of opportunities.
If I was to pinpoint one characteristic in the successful business owners and myself,
it would be consistency.
Another word for that is rhythm which is not possible without a form of consistency.
Many people can find rhythm boring and quote the old saying..
Insanity - doing the same thing and expecting different results!
But..
When I look at my achievements in creating 5 books and two music albums,
it’s just not possible without consistent effort over time.
So how can I be consistent and not fall into a place of boredom?
By consistently engaging my mind and having a learning attitude.
The photos today are the path I walk along to the lake each day.
Whether it’s dark or light,
there’s always different sights and sounds along the way.
Yes,
I could find it boring if I disengaged with the nature around me
but I don’t.
I tune into that
and each day,
while on the same path,
hear or see something different.
And so it’s become a habit to walk 10km a day in nature
and that consistency has improved my overall health.
The same in my business.
When I’m consistent in networking and lead generation,
the business goes forward.
If I can market a consistent valuable offer,
clients are satisfied and keep returning.
So it has reinforced my desire for Rest and Rhythm in my life.
Energy and consistency are the keys that have kept me going over 25 years.
