PUBLISHER'SLETTER I
f there’s one quality that stands out in my mind to describe someone who is highly successful in their business, career or life it would be consistency. Of course there are many other qualities needed to accomplish big dreams and goals, but consistency is one that seems to take precedence. In my study of wildly successful people, one of the characteristics that I found they all had in common was that they developed a solid plan for success, knew what they had to do and most impor- tantly, did it on a daily, weekly and monthly basis. They practiced consistency to the extreme. Whether we want to admit it or not, as creatures of habit, we all like, expect and appreciate consistency. When we learn or experience something new, we expect to be able to apply that knowledge on a consistent basis. As you read this magazine, look through and examine each section. What makes each section different but also the same? Where is the table of contents? Where are the feature stories? How do you know that the letters to the editor or the publisher’s letter are in the front of your favorite magazine or that editorials are in the back of your favorite newspaper? It’s all based on consis- tency. Take weight loss for example. We all know that losing weight takes time and it is the effect of a consistent effort to
exercise, eat right and change your lifestyle on a daily basis. You may not see the results on a day to day basis, but one day you realize that your pants are a little looser and you start to like what you see in the mirror. How quickly this happens is
determined by how consistent you are every day to eat healthy meals and exercise. The following are a few examples of how a consistent approach can maximize your performance and accelerate the rate with which
you achieve any goal: * Consistently show up on time;
* Consistently tell the truth and do the right thing; * Consistently honor your commitments; * Consistently go above and beyond your expectations; * Consistently take action and avoid excuses and procrastination; * Consistently set your goals for each week.
Consistency is great because people like predictable things. Family, friends, co-workers and customers feel comfortable when they can
rely on you to do exactly what they think you will do and have done in the past. But as we know, life often gets in the way and we realize that we have stopped being consistent and doing the things we need to do on a daily basis to reach our goals. So, what to do? As long as you’ve realized it, that’s half the battle! Take some time to think about what you were doing on a consistent basis in the past that helped you reach some of your goals. Then, implement some of those strategies now and see where it takes you.
In health and happiness,
