Consistency determines your success.

Consistency helps you:

  • Build a following
  • Be a better writer
  • Become a better reader
  • Come up with better ideas

Earlier this year, I struggled with writing every day. I struggled with finding ideas to post on social media. I struggled with building a following.

Then I studied creators. I observed the best. I noticed what they were doing on social media. And I started doing the same.

As a result, I learned three powerful lessons about social media.

1. Your ideas compound into better ideas

The harsh truth: not everything you post or write will get engagement.

But if you continue to post, you’ll find what works for your audience. You learn what ideas get traction.

When you’re consistent, you learn to refine your ideas.

Olympian runners make small tweaks to enhance their performance. NBA players make small tweaks to improve their shooting percentage.
