Good to great doesn't happen overnight, with a silver bullet, or in one magical manifested moment.  Dang it. Wish I had a magic wand for that one!  Average only becomes excellent with consistency. 

You know this, my friend, even if it's hard to hear. If we commit to saving a few dollars daily, those dollars will grow exponentially. If we work out and count calories routinely, we'll lose the 15 lbs we gained during COVID. We know we'll improve our golf game or piano playing if we practice regularly. 

So, why is being consistent so darn hard? 

Because it's easier to stay average than it is to drive for excellence.  

It's easier to spend the dollars than to tuck them away for a rainy day. Oreos are easier to eat, and Netflix is easier to watch than drinking water and going to the gym. In communication, it's easier not to practice presentations or conversations because practicing is awkward. 

Easy choices often lead to average results. 

Choosing excellence isn't easy. 

Choosing excellence requires you to be consistent in the relentless pursuit of your goals. Consistently choosing what's hard, uncomfortable, awkward, and full of failure separates people who realize their goals from those who do not. 

Are you a person who realizes your goals? 

The choice is yours; what will you do consistently starting today? 

That’s it for today.  Thank you for listening! If you found today’s Crash Course helpful, please share it with your colleagues and friends and hit the subscribe button so you don’t miss an episode.
