Last episode, we talked about setting your GPS, waking up every single day and setting your GPS and having a plan of exactly what you're going to be doing each day. If you know what your goal is, if you know your destination, then when you wake up every

single morning, it makes it a lot easier to plan what you want out of each day and what you need to do to get you to the next level. Now, here's the problem. Most people don't know where they want to go in the first place. And if you don't know where you want to go, that's the starting point. You can get in your car, but if you don't have anywhere to go, it means absolutely nothing. And so you have to think about that. You have to know about where you're going to be going, and then you set your GPS. And the next level is staying consistent. Everybody is excited at the onset, at the very beginning of something. If you get really excited whenever

you start something new, there's nothing special about that. Everybody gets excited whenever they start something new. The only thing that's special is if you can stay consistent because everybody can work hard the first week or two weeks or month and into this new adventure, this new job or this new endeavor, starting a new business. But the hard part is staying consistent and continually going at it every single day. So it's very easy to get excited about something when you first start. Everybody gets excited. But the difference between the 1% and the 99%, and I'm talking about the 1% of people in the world that are successful and happy, and they seem to have everything and everybody else seems to be jealous of them, is that the 1% does what the other 99%

will not do and they do it consistently. It's not that it's easier for them. It's not that they have some superpower. The difference is they wake up every day, they know what needs to be done, and they live their life proactively and they live their life with consistency. They don't let themselves slip for a day or two days or they don't look back a week or a month down the road and they're like, man, what the heck have I been doing with the past week? No, they're consistent. If they have one day where they slip, they make it up the next day. They understand results is what they're going for. They're not going for the feelings of how they feel.

I'm sure they wake up all the time and they have feelings where they're like, I don't want to work today. But they do it anyways. They do the things that the other people will not. And that's the difference is they stay consistent because anybody can start something. Anybody, few can finish something. So if I were to ask you

if consistency were one of your strengths, I bet that 99% of people out there, listeners, would probably say, no, consistency is not one of my strengths. I get excited. If I were to say, how did your 2016 year's resolutions go? Well, I did really well at the beginning. The first three weeks I was on my meal plan. I was really healthy. Okay. And then what happened? Oh, and then I just kind of fell off, right? Everybody seems to fall off except for those select few who really push themselves more than anything else. They stay consistent. They continue to keep going. And those are the ones that have the breakthroughs in their life and they get to where they want to go. And just so you know, I'm not just talking about money and being successful and rich. I'm talking about great relationships. I'm talking about

traveling to where they want to. I'm talking about being happy or great friendships or great parents or all of those things. Consistency is a part of it. If you're going to be a great parent, you have to consistently be a great parent. You can't be a great parent for four days and then suck for Fridays. Forget to feed your kids. You can't do those types of things. You have to be a consistently great parent. You have to work on consistency and make that one of your things. So with that being said, you think about it and you say, okay, well, I know consistency is important, but what's the difference between someone who stays consistent and someone who is not consistent, someone who falls off between everybody else? And the main thing is this. Someone figures out what their goals are. They're extremely clear on them.

They set their goals every single day. They wake up, they make a plan, they set their GPS, they know where they're going. The difference is the person who gives up is a person who does not have a strong enough why. And you've heard me say it before in time and time and time and time again. The difference though between someone who's consistent and someone who's successful and between everybody else, the whole rest of the 99% who don't ever get there is that the people who care the most, who have the strong why, who have some type of driving force behind them are the ones who stay consistent and they're the ones who finish the race. So if you're someone who's not consistent, you have to ask yourself a couple of questions. Number one, have I been setting strong goals? Am I extremely clear on what my goals are? That's a big question. Number two, have I made a plan of how to

accomplish those goals? And number three, what is my why behind the goal? You have to have a strong emotional why. If someone comes up to me, they say, Rob, I want you to help me make $200,000 this year. If they're a group coaching or one-on-one coaching client, I have that where people say, I want to make $200,000 this year. And I say, why? And they say, because I've never made that much and that's my goal. And I'm like, that reason sucks. You're not going to be motivated for that reason in six months. You have to find a strong why. If you want to make $200,000 because of the fact that you want to put $50,000 into your kid's college fund, or you want to finally move out of a bad part of town and out of an apartment and buy your kids their first house to live in because they don't have their

own rooms, and you get some type of... You want to take your kids out of the neighborhood that you grew up in, the bad neighborhood. If you have a strong why, when things get tough, because things will get tough, you will not give up when everybody else will. That's the difference in staying consistent is you have to develop a strong why. So like I said, last night we had a massive planning session, two-hour planning session with my group coaching members. I went over all of coaching members. I went over all of my goals. They went over all of their goals. It was amazing. Now, that being said,

those goals mean nothing unless we develop an extremely strong why behind them that will push us forward when things get hard. So if you're not part of the group coaching and you're making your 2017 year's resolutions, when you make your goals, ask yourself, why am I doing this? What is the strong emotional why behind it? Not because I want to make more money, because I want to look healthier, whatever it might be. It has to be a strong emotional attachment, a strong emotional why of why you're going for that goal.

And if you have the strong why, it makes it much, much, much easier to push yourself to get your butt up whenever you fail because you're going to fail. But if you think about your children and taking them out of that bad neighborhood and giving them the life that you never had, you're more likely to get up than if you're just thinking about the money because you're thinking about your kids, the emotion behind it. So the difference between a successful person, unsuccessful person, if you really break it down, is that successful people do what other people won't do and they do it consistently. So ask yourself this question, am I consistent? And if you're not, listen to this episode and break it down and figure out how you can stay consistent.

If you're not consistent and you want extra tips to be consistent, join me tonight at 8 p.m. and I will teach you how to become more, much more consistent towards hitting your goals and getting you to where you need to go.
