Do It So Many Times It’s Unreasonable to Fail

Summary

• Analyze actions that, if performed consistently, would make someone's success almost guaranteed.
• Determine a set of non-negotiable activities that one must commit to daily.
• For a person with family responsibilities, waking up at 4:00 AM and working 6 hours before their regular job might be essential for success.
• Daily tasks should include reaching out to at least 100 connections, creating 100 minutes of content, or managing a certain budget for paid ads.
• Make follow-up calls to leads regularly as part of the routine.
• Committing to these activities for 4-5 years significantly reduces the chance of failure.
• Believe in the process, knowing that dedication to these actions should result in success.
• Focus on the input (the effort and tasks) rather than the outcome.
• Maintain control by adhering to the commitment to the chosen activities.

How To Take Action

I would suggest grabbing a notebook and making a list. At the top, write down activities you think are key to your success. Be specific. For example, if you're growing a business, you might need to reach out to 100 new contacts every day. Or, if you're a creator, commit to making 100 minutes of content weekly.

Next, set non-negotiable tasks for your daily routine. If you're juggling work and family, this could mean waking up early, like 4:00 AM, to get a head start. Spend those first few precious hours working on your dreams, whether that means calling leads, writing your blog, or crafting plans for your business.

Now, I want you to promise yourself you'll stick to these tasks for 4-5 years. This isn't a sprint; it's a marathon. Believing in the process is key. Trust that if you put in the effort every single day, success is bound to come knocking.

Focus on what you can control — your actions. Remember, it's not about what you achieve each day but that you're consistently doing the work. If you're investing in ads, decide on a budget that's feasible and stick to it regularly, even if it's small to start with.

Finally, build follow-up calls into your routine too. Staying in touch with leads can make a huge difference.

Keep your list handy and cross off each task as you do it. This will not only keep you motivated but also give you a clear sense of control over your path to success. Stay patient, stay persistent, and watch your efforts bear fruit.
