There is so much talk of the importance of something called 'consistency' when it comes to succeeding in your online business.
You need to be consistent with your effort, the value that you give, your Facebook posting, your knowledge gaining.
Everything needs to be consistent.
If you say you are going to help people, you need to do it consistently and not just when you feel like it.
When you explain this to some people who are looking to maybe improve their life a little through an online business, they get a bit concerned as to whether they are able to do it.
It sounds like a lot of effort because it seems contrary to what they are used to doing.
But think about this.
For all of your adult life you have been consistently thinking that a 9-5 job is the correct and responsible way to go through life.
When you get that job you consistently attend and consistently get paid by somebody who decides what your time is worth.
You consistently put up with that, whether you agree with it or not.
You consistently have just 2 days per week to yourself and consistently try to cram all your enjoyment into that time.
If you don't like your job you spend year after year consistently wishing things were different but doing nothing about it.
You consistently wish you had more money, more time, more freedom.
You absolutely know how to be consistent. You have been doing it all your life. You just didn't realise it.
Maybe if I use a different word you will understand it better.
Another way of describing consistency could be 'habit'.
All of those things you are doing in your life, you do then because you have got into the habit and didn't realise you could actually do it differently.
Let me tell you right now. You can break those habits.
Anything worth having will always require some effort and this is no different.
But when you actually take the step to make the changes, you start to realise that it's nowhere near as daunting as you feared.
You start to create new habits.
Helping others, learning new things, connecting with like minded people, setting your own hours and structuring your life around what you want, rather than at the demand of a boss.
Consistency got you in the mess you're in and consistency will get you out of it.
When you understand the importance and concept of what consistency is, you have the recipe for success.
