Consistency Is KING… It’s the ‘secret sauce’ in getting anything you want!
Out of anything you can do to achieving your goals, consistency is the #1 thing that is definitely needed. Are you getting the results you desire in a certain area of your life?
If you answered ‘yes’ to that question, then I will be that you are doing a certain set of things CONSISTENTLY… and if you said ‘no’, that I’ll bet that you’re not being consistent.
If you’re building a Personal Brand for yourself… then Consistency is an absolute MUST! I look at it like this… Try baking a cake without baking soda, what happens? It doesn’t rise… it’s flat and boring! Same goes for ‘baking’ a brand without consistency… Do you want to be flat and boring??
Check out the video that I created for you sharing my experience with consistency…
I’d love to hear your feedback on this… Is there an area of your life where you are being consistent and you’re achieving the results that you desire? Is there an area of your life where you’re not being consistent? Share your thoughts by leaving a comment below 
Also, pass this post on to your Facebook and Twitter buddies… everyone can use a little consistency in their life!
In Appreciation,

Eric,
I just asked myself your question and got the loud and clear answer of No. I have not been consistent lately. I have let several parts of my routine go and I feel like a total hypocrite. Thanks for bringing it to my attention. I needed a reminder.
I commit here and now to reinstate my routine. I know it makes a big difference.
Thanks!

Hey Rebecca,
Thanks for your authenticity!
I’d love for you to come back and
post your results here on this post
after getting back in the saddle:)
Hi Eric I recently wrote a post on the same subject and it’s so true. I think the reason that most people quit or fail in business is they lack the consistent effort and daily actions it takes to get results.
Most people want instant success when they fail to realise it’s a process that one must go through in order to get results. Great post Eric

Hey Alex,
It’s like going to the gym… you must
be consistent to get the outcome you’re
looking for.
It works the same way in the rest of
life… no secrets, just consistency!
Thanks for sharing Alex!
Hey Eric!
Thank you for the wisdom! It is amazing how much better you feel when you are consistent in life, no matter what it is:-)
Thanks again my friend!

to feel good/joy… thanks for sharing!
Hey Eric,
Thanks for the reminder… when I look back at all my successes in life, the one thing that stands out is that I was consistent. We don’t realize that sometimes it’s that easy. And… when I wasn’t consistent, you guested it… I wasn’t successful. I really needed that reminder, thanks.

It’s funny, we get to place of feeling
good because we are consistent, and
then we think we can stop…
Keep up the awesomeness bro!
Hey Eric,
Totally man. Awesome video! I think consistency is KEY when it comes to staying connect with your list. Like you said that trust factor is based on consistency.
Good for you getting back on track with meditation and working out!
Ryan,
Consistency = Trust
It’s as simple as that:)
Hey Eric,
You are the King of Consistency! You raise a really important part of being successful in this industry. If you are not prepared to be consistent and authentic then you aren’t going to get very far and might even end up personally branding yourself in a haphazard and detrimental way.
Loved the post and the vid…you Rock.
Beth
Hey Beth,
Thanks for your awesomeness!
Most people are branding themselves
in a haphazard way like you said.. by
being there one day and gone the next.
Thanks for sharing:)
Hi Eric,
thanks for this great video. Consistency is king. I am pretty much consistent in my social media efforts but recebtly forgot to do my meditations for example. Thanks for reminding me of that, and of course also for being honest about yourself.
Take care

Hi Eric,
Thanks for the great reminder!
Being consistent as you mentioned is KEY to anything you want to achieve in life. There is nothing better to have that great feeling of Success after all the hard work you put into your business or whatever you are trying to accomplish.

Hey Katherine,
That feeling is one of the best there
are… feels great to know that you kept
your word with what you said you would
do.
Integrity and consistency go hand in hand:)
Very good point, Eric!
Being that human nature is generally subject
to the simple laws of cause and effect, even
when we are not really aware of it, those with
this knowledge have the advantage:
Like you so nicely point out here in your post
the effectiveness of consistency. Something so
simple!
We the people will always first think of the one
that shows himself to always be there, for that
special moment of need…
…and that is whom we turn to for help.

Hey Robert,
Consistency will out weight anything
else… it’s the lack of consistency that
is to blame for most unfulfilled outcomes.
Hey Eric!
Thanks for the great post! I have not been consistant lately! I have had a number of setbacks this past month and have been very inconsistant with my blogging and have seen the effects of it… You’re so right! The more consistant we are, the better the results – as a matter of fact, I don’t feel we’ll have results at all without consistancy.
Thanks for alerting me to this and helping me get back on track!

Consistency is Key! and King! I couldn’t agree more Eric! It’s sometimes difficult to keep up but ultimately it matters most.
Thanks for sharing!

Right on Amanda… it’s in the
times that we really don’t feel
like it that are the most important:)
Hey Eric,
I couldn`t agree with you more dude and it is
truly amazing how some people believe that
there are 30 day miracles with online marketing.
The people that are really making it happen
are the ones that commit to a plan, have a
burning desire to reach their goals, and won`t
quit until they get to where they want to go.
Great post and great video! Have a wonderful
day
See you at the top,

How true and a very pertinent post right now with all the distractions that can come up. Working through this won’t work unless you have the drive to move forward continuously.
Great reminder on being consistent and on task.

Consistency is key if you want to be successful. First have a goal and have some type of effective routine you do in order to get to that goal. If you want to learn piano and become a Liberace once the one thing you gotta do… You gotta practice your major and minor scales, circle of fifths, arrpegios, chromatic scales, and have a couple of riffs to practice with (As you can probably tell, I play piano). But these little 15 – 20 min exercises will get you to that level, as well as any daily effective routine. This was a great post Eric!!!

I’m learning more and more how
important consistency is… without
it nothing can happen:)
Eric,
Thanks for your service to humanity.
Consistency is a good thing, except when it is bad.
If we are consistently doing the right, best good things that serve us or our highest good then that’s great.
However, Consistently doing the wrong things is not so good.
Determination, Persistence, and Consistency are all important keys, but they can get trumped by our highest self, intuition, or guides telling us to Change and Grow.
Consistently making flat cakes is not so great.
Hey Mike,
Long time no chat… thanks for
the message. Consistency is a
funny thing… anything done consistently
will get a result…
So yes, consistently doing good things
will give you the good results you are
looking for:)
Thanks for sharing!
Totally agree with you there Eric! It’s that inch-by-inch progress consistently over time that is absolutely key. This is always a good thing to be reminded of – just keep going, don’t quit and you’ll get there. Make it a Great Day! Laura

I’m not that much consistent in my life so far. I really need to learn to be consistent in everything I do. I’ve committed myself into many things and I think it’s very hard for me to be consistent that way.
How to be consistent?
Elisha Batuncang´s last [type] ..Elisha is Back- Never Stop Improving Yourself
Hey Elisha,
To be consistent… figure out
your WHY for doing what you
are doing…
And then you will have the desire
to do what it is you are wanting to
do everyday.
Thanks Elisha!
I’d like to start off by saying thank you Eric for your words of wisdom. Additionally I could not agree with you more. As a new business owner and even personally I have learned over the years the importance of being consistent.
Each day I realize that I am getting closer to my goals and I have even achieved some large ones in the past. As an example I am the first member of my family to go to or graduate college.
I have read many books on self help and the importance of being consistent and thinking positively. I am firm believer of “Where there is a will there is a way!” . I apply that statement everyday to every aspect of my life both personally and professionally. No matter what crisis or situations you may have in your life never give up, perseverance always pays off!
Richard Bishop´s last [type] ..Garnishing
Hey Richard,
My pleasure!
Keep that mindset and enjoy the
journey. The journey is really where
the joy in life comes from.
As soon as ‘we get what we want’,
then what? Then we want something
else that ‘we don’t have’… and that
journey begins again.
Thanks for sharing Richard!
You are quite correct, my son. Consistency combined with self discipline will set one free. The sooner one masters the art of doing what one would rather not, the sooner one will be able to do what one would rather.
hei Ilike it very much, I hope you will soon update your work!thanks for sharing.
