Everything I have achieved in my life, in my business, everything is due to consistency, is due to the fact that I pick and stick. I'm not saying this to beat on my chest. I'm saying this because I know how hard it is and I have to trust the process of consistency to know that it's going to pay off. This is the one that kills the most promising businesses, not the struggling ones, the promising ones. See, the thing about business and in life is that success is really boring. The secret to getting to be successful requires you to do a lot of boring stuff. Kobe Bryant was known for the fact that he would go and practice in the gym about 3 hours in the morning, 3 hours in the afternoon, and he would basically shoot the same shots over and over again. The most boring thing in the world. And then when it came to the game, it was easy because he was consistent with his practice. This is why we have over 2,700 episodes. We've been publishing consistently for over a decade. We haven't missed a single beat. Why? Because I was committed. You can't expect to be successful if you are not committed.
