"All you have to do is be consistent" is BS

When it comes to starting a business or some new venture or building a new passive income strategy, the common advice is always:

“Be consistent and you will be successful.”

Well, I think that’s BS. Let me tell you why.

Before we get into it let me give a quick thank you to our sponsors who help keep this newsletter 100% free to you, the reader:

If you are like me, then you are either a small business owner or you would like to start your own business one day. And when you do that, you’re going to NEED a great banking solution that’s truly built just for your business. That means, no fees, no minimum balances, and no bookkeeping problems when tax season rolls around. Relay is an online banking and money management platform that’s a perfect fit for small businesses and one I recommend. AND you can now earn up to 3% APY on savings with Relay savings accounts.

It only takes 10 minutes to apply for a free Relay account, and you can do it online at RelayFi.com

Don’t get me wrong. Consistency and just showing up can be a superpower.

However, so many people online make it seem like that’s all you need to succeed.

Here’s what’s really a superpower:

Consistency + self-awareness + flexibility

Why?

I think Einstein hit the nail on the head:

“The definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results.”

Doing something over and over is NOT the top-secret way to succeed in life.

Doing something over and over while also pivoting, tweaking, improving, etc, IS a top-secret way to succeed in life.

When I started my YouTube channel I paid attention to other channels starting at the same time.

I then watched them over the months as I kept plowing ahead on my channel.

Most of them eventually gave up, but of the ones that didn’t, quite a few of them did something interesting.

While I was constantly trying new topics, styles, edits, etc in my videos… working hard to figure out what might possibly get views and stick.

They were putting out the same kind of videos with the same edits and the same ideas over and over and over… all the while, never growing in any meaningful way.

Meanwhile, there were other channels who did what I was doing even better and now they are many times bigger than me.

I’m still figuring all this out.

But in my limited knowledge and experience, I know that the secret to growth in whatever venture you do is trying over and over and trying to get better or be different every time.

And if you do that, at the very least, you won’t be boring.

In the world of crypto and passive income, I know that things can get tough. And I know that it can become discouraging.

However, if you can just not give up AND continue to explore, grow, and tweak the system, I think you can eventually be successful if you get the combo right.

I also know that if you DO get it right, it’s so very worth it.

If I can help you on your journey, just reach out.

Have a great rest of your week.
