THE 1% RULE - ACCUMULATING SUCCESS

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

Consistency is the secret behind motivation and ultimately success.

Let’s take an example: you want to get in shape so you start at the gym. You set yourself great long-term goals. After your first workout you take a look in the mirror, or weigh yourself. Do you see a difference? I doubt it. But what if you set your goal to improve 1% a month, or even 1% a week. Much easier to maintain as a goal and therefore much easier to stay motivated from day to day. Over time you not only will see, and experience, a difference, but you will continue to improve. 

Consistency is doing something, even a little, on a daily basis. Consistency wins, even if you do cheat now and then, and even at only 1% at a time.

This law of 1%, 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 1% 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.
