INCREMENTALISM - ACCUMULATING SUCCESS


Success is an accumulation event, it’s not about intensity it’s about consistency.

Let’s take an example: you want to get in shape so you start at the gym. After your first workout you take a look in the mirror, or weigh yourself. Do you see a difference? I doubt it. But, if you keep going to the gym regularly, you will get  in shape and, over time you not only will see, and experience, a difference, but you will continue to improve. 

Consistency is twenty minutes a day, on a daily basis. Intensity is a nine hour session at the gym once a month. Consistency definitely wins, even if you do cheat now and then.

This law of incremental gains applies, no matter what we want to achieve. When we consistently apply ourselves to doing what needs to be done, we will continue to improve, and our best will surely get better. 

This is what excellence really is, that consistent journey of betterment.

No matter what you desire to succeed at, be it business, sales, leadership, being a better husband or wife, health, fitness, sporting achievements, the list goes on and on, this rule of consistency and incremental gains applies.

So, no matter how little , start today and, even though you may not see it straight away, keep at it and your success is guaranteed.
