You go to the gym and you work out and you come back and you look in the mirror, you will see nothing. If you go to the gym the next day and you come back and you look in the mirror, you will see nothing. So clearly there's no results. You can't be measured. It must not be effective. So we quit. Or if you fundamentally believe that this is the right course of action and you stick with it, you commit yourself to an active service. You commit yourself to the regime, the exercise. You can screw it up. You can eat chocolate cake one day. You can skip a day or two. But if you stick with it consistently, I'm not exactly sure what day, but I know you'll start getting into shape. Going to the gym for nine hours does not get you into shape. Working out every day for 20 minutes gets you into shape. It's not about the events. It's not about intensity. It's about consistency. It's about consistency. It's about consistency.

My friends, today we're going to talk about cultivating a superpower. In a crude laboratory in the basement of his home. What's up, guys? Welcome back to the show. Today's episode is going to be short, but hopefully powerful and important. You know, I'm going to talk about consistency, and maybe you're saying yourself, Ryan, you haven't been consistently putting out the podcast lately, so it's a bit hypocritical to talk about consistency.

And maybe that's true. But when in doubt, pull back. I've been consistently putting out podcasts since 2012. So yeah, I've missed a couple weeks, and it's been hectic and crazy. I haven't been sleeping. We got huge things coming, big announcements. Just absolutely, you know, the rogue train is rolling down the tracks, and I'm excited to share that with you when the time is right.

And there's decisions that need to be made. and money to be made and expenses to be paid and people to put in place and train and teach and build process and all that stuff and it can be overwhelming and it can be monotonous and it can be tiring and I don't give a fuck show up keep showing up right I found that clip from Simon Sinek shared multiple times. I was scrolling through Instagram Reels because I use Instagram Reels for, I find a lot of like drills to do for the Little League baseball team that I coach. I love, I love coaching baseball. I just absolutely love it. If I, if I could find a way to make money coaching baseball, that's probably what I would do. But I love coaching Little League. I

love being around the kids and I scroll Instagram Reels to find like baseball clips. Well, for some reason, this audio, a couple different people shared it with like different images behind it or whatever. I don't know if you know about Instagram Reels and how you can do that. But, you know, a couple people that obviously saved the audio and replayed it and different stuff. And I saw it. And I kept hearing it and for some reason it grabbed me and it took me all the way to the end of the video every time. I didn't kind of like keep scrolling. It stopped the scroll for me and I started. thinking about what Simon was saying. And it hit me like, this is a superpower.

Consistency is a superpower. And the best part about it is we all can cultivate this superpower. It is the superpower of success. It's not intelligence. It's not good looks. It's not being quick on your feet, you know, talking. It's not being a good salesperson or a good marketing. or good at finance or good at accounting or good at, you know, leadership.

It's none of those things. The superpower of success is consistency. It's can you show up every day? And if not every day, as often as you possibly can. And can you continue to show up and to come back and to do the work and to get one more piece of content out, to send one more email, to make one more phone call, to do that work.

When you look at, you know, just think of the people that you admire in your life. They're consistent. Now, if you go super narrow, if you go super close, if you drill in, can you find moments of inconsistency? Of course you can. We're human. But what happens is the difference between the people who harness consistency as a superpower in those that don't is they allow them.

those micro moments to wreck macro consistency. They let micro inconsistency wreck macro consistency, because that's what matters. Macro consistency. Showing up over the course of time again and again to be there for whatever it is that you do. If it's sports, it's showing up on the field it's doing that extra taking that extra ground ball doing a little extra tea work a couple more file shots a couple forehands if you're daniel sung's son who's learning tennis out there right it's a it's a couple more of whatever if it's if it's work if you're in sales it's a couple more phone calls a couple more emails a couple more text messages if you're in marketing it's a couple more posts it's it's you know working a few extra minutes it's you know i always put out on twitter sundays are

for SEO, right? Every Sunday morning, I do something to work on the SEO of our website, the search engine optimization. I pop open A-Refs and I look at something, maybe links are broken or there's an orphan page or, you know, some page that I think is well optimized, isn't ranking well, and I go in and I add some content to it or fix something or point some links at it or whatever. I share it a couple more times to try to get more traffic to it, to build it up, right? I'm doing something every Sunday. Every Sunday is for SEO. Sundays are for SEO.

That's my thing. It doesn't have to be your thing. I don't even know that is a thing, but that's what I do. And you know, you're never going to regret creating two blog posts on your website every week. And maybe you regret not doing two or maybe you'll regret not doing three versus two, but you're certainly going to regret not doing any. And the same thing goes for phone calls. The same thing goes for texting friends.

if you want to build relationships, right? You want to build relationships, deeper relationships with this, your people in your life. You're never going to regret sending that text message and asking how someone's doing, but you're certainly going to regret not doing it. And if you do it once, do it quarterly. Do it every month. Do it every week. Make a phone call.

Show up. When people know they can count on you, good things happen. And not just other people. like you start to trust yourself. And that to me, my friends, is the superpower, is that you trust yourself when you cultivate consistency, when whatever that means to you, whether it's prospecting or or helping people in your office

or in your business or reaching out and building new relationships or building, you know, doing something romantic for your spouse or significant other or helping teach your kids something or doing your homework with them or reading books or working out or going for walks or meditating or whatever it is that thing

that you want to build consistency around you want to grow and cultivate whatever that thing is you need to be able to trust yourself to do it so when you make those commitments you know you're going to follow through and it is those people who trust themselves to follow through and the commitments they make because they know at a macro level they will be consistent in their

effort to drive forward. It is those people who reach their goals. They do not allow micro moments. And a micro moment could be a 10 minute block in your day or it could be a week of your life or a month in your life. But it's those people who come back and are macro consistent that win.

Let's get back to the episode. My friends, we're ending the first quarter of 2022. What I wish for you, what I hope is that you cultivate macro consistency in your life. If I can think through anything that I have regrets about, it's the moments where I allowed micro inconsistencies, a bad day, a fight with someone, a disagreement, a loss in business, I didn't make a sale. If I didn't get a hit in baseball or something, I allowed, it's the moments where I, it's where I allowed those moments to wreck my macro consistency where I didn't come back because of some

micro moment who cares that that prospect slam the door in your face right you can wallow in it for a second chick if you need to go get a beer or you know whatever you need to do go bitch to a co-worker about it for a second and take that time do that and then come back and be macro consistent because if you can do that you'll win and and i just i think about the rest of my year i you know that's what I'm doing right now. You know, we're sitting here. First quarter's coming to an end. We had some good things happen. We had some things happen that, you know, I would love to have done better at. But in general, things are going well. And I look at why those things are going well. What are the, you know, what is the thing? It wasn't just one blog post. It just wasn't one page on our website. It just wasn't

one new process. It just wasn't one conversation I had with a team member. It just wasn't one review we got from a new client. It's an overall macro consistent effort on a day-to-day basis to push forward the initiatives that are most important to our business. I think about my personal life. I think about the work that we do at the gym, the relationship I have with my children. I think about the relationship that I have with my friends, the moments, the joy that I find in my life. You know, I'm rediscovering the spiritual nature that I'm, you know, I'm rediscovering the spiritual nature that I had when I was younger that, you know, life kind of beat out of me and trying to be more macro consistent with my relationship with God. And, you know, these things, we just can't let

little micro speed bumps, little obstacles that show up derail us from coming back to that thing that we want, that we know is good, that we know brings us joy and happiness and meaning in our lives. And I think out over. the best advice that I've received and the best advice that I've given. And it comes back to consistency. Just show up. Just do the work. Just do it.

Find ways to do it. And if you're saying, well, Ryan, what about variety? You know, I get bored. Everybody gets fucking bored. Man up, woman up, whatever it is, whatever your thing is. Show up. Come back. It's called being an adult.

You want to be successful? Show up, come back, be consistent. Find a way to make it happen. You know? Maybe you start your videos different if that's what you're doing. Or you try a different way of answering the phone or you try a different intro to an email or you ask a client for a review in a different way. Or you find a new way to contact that marketing rep who could potentially get you that appointment that you want.

You induce a little more research. take a little more time, read a different style book. If you read nonfiction books all the time, pick up a fiction book, right? Pick up a fiction book and see what happens to your brain, what happens to your mindset when you allow yourself to dig into to something that isn't real but still has meaning. And I just, guys, I wish for you the rest of 22 macro consistency in the things that you find meaning in.

And I wish you nothing but success. for 2022 for the rest of it this is my goal to become to become the type of person who can trust myself who can trust me who who who who who i can believe that when i set myself to something i will continue to come back until the task is done i wish that for myself i wish it for you and i hope you absolutely fucking crush the rest of 22 i'm out of here peace twice as many deals by this time next week.
