I saw this in another community, and it jives perfectly with what Douglas related to us last Sunday...so I thought I'd post it here:
"Over the years, we’ve seen that most people chase explosive results.
Few are willing to show up in the quiet, boring hours it takes to create them.
Here’s the truth: success doesn’t come from random bursts of intensity. It comes from obsessive consistency: showing up every day, doing the work, even when it’s inconvenient, even when no one’s watching.
But it’s not just consistency for the sake of it. Obsession means you care so much about making something work that it becomes non-negotiable. You don’t wonder if you’ll show up today, you’ve already decided.
Napoleon Hill called this definiteness of purpose. The vision you’re obsessed with makes the small, boring actions meaningful.
Your habits are the real game. Consistency is the scoreboard.
So I’d like you to imagine… One year from now, your business metrics results are exactly where you dreamed.
Not because of a single breakthrough, but because you showed up, every single day. ✅
That’s the power of Obsessive Consistency: the relentless commitment to doing small meaningful actions daily, even when it’s boring, inconvenient, or no one’s watching. The act of making your success habits non-negotiable.
Here’s how to start today:
1️⃣ Pick ONE high-leverage action that moves you closer to your goal long-term. (Posting daily, one sales call, 10 minutes of writing.)
2️⃣ Set a minimum standard so small you can’t fail. (Even one rep counts.)
3️⃣ Track it daily. Watch the streak grow. Momentum is built, not found.
Every action is a deposit into your future. Skip enough deposits and the account stays empty. Stack them daily and the compound effect will shock you.
Your future self isn’t built in one grand gesture. It’s built in the hundreds of tiny actions you repeat until they become who you are."
