The 8 Habit Rules That Actually Create Momentum (Read This Slowly)
I heard this from a training I was on yesterday morning and it really stuck so I wanted to share it with everyone in this group. Enjoy! Most of us donât fail because we lack information. We fail because our habits donât support the identity, we say that we want. This post isnât about motivation. Itâs about installing behaviors that compound. Letâs break it down. 1ď¸âŁ Identity Beats Willpower Stop asking: âWhat do I want to achieve?â Start asking: âWho am I becoming?â Your behavior will always match your identity. If you identify as: âSomeone trying to post moreâ â inconsistency âSomeone building authorityâ â systems, reps, patience Better question: What would a disciplined, in-demand agent do on a boring Tuesday? Thatâs your blueprint. 2ď¸âŁ Tiny Actions Compound If the habit feels almost too easy⌠youâre doing it right. ⢠One post beats five drafted ⢠One DM beats ten ideas ⢠One system beat hustle Intensity feels good. Consistency builds businesses. 3ď¸âŁ Environment > Motivation Motivation is unreliable. Environment is permanent. Make good habits: ⢠Obvious ⢠Easy ⢠Default Make bad habits: ⢠Hard to access ⢠Friction-filled ⢠Invisible Your environment should pull you forward without willpower. 4ď¸âŁ Never Miss Twice Missing once is human. Missing twice is a pattern. This is not about perfection. Itâs about rapid recovery. Miss a workout? Miss a post? Miss a DM day? Recover immediately. Momentum isnât built by never slipping. Itâs built by getting back in motion fast. 5ď¸âŁ Track Behavior, Not Just Outcomes Outcomes lag. Behavior leads. Instead of only tracking: ⢠Leads ⢠Closings ⢠Revenue Track: ⢠Posts published ⢠Conversations started ⢠Follow-ups completed Control the inputs. The outputs follow. 6ď¸âŁ Expect Resistance If it feels uncomfortable, good. Resistance: ⢠Builds stamina ⢠Reveals commitment ⢠Filters amateurs from professionals Donât interpret resistance as a sign to stop. Itâs proof youâre doing something worth doing. 7ď¸âŁ Consistency Creates Motivation
