Richmond Dinh argues that consistency separates good from great. He points to Roger Federer and Michael Jordan as examples, then describes running the same wealth seminar dozens of times with small improvements each round. The key is repetitive practice of fundamentals.

Have you ever wondered what the difference is between good and great? Average and awesome, Basic and brilliant? You know what it is? It's consistency. I mean, think about it. Roger Federer is the greatest tennis player of all time, no question about it. But here's the thing. Any professional tennis player can beat Federer when they're playing their best tennis. And it's the same thing in basketball, where Michael Jordan is arguably the best player of all time. But here's the thing. Any professional basketballer can outshine Jordan on the court when they're playing their best basketball. So what makes Federer and Jordan so different? It's not because they're great once or not because they're great twice or three times. It's because they're consistently great over a period of time. And what do I mean by consistency? I mean this. It means practicing the basics, the fundamentals, the foundations, over and over and over and over again, no matter how good you are. And in Federer's case, it literally means one week after a win wins a Grand Slam, he's back on the court, practicing the same forehand, the same backhand, the same serve over and over and over and over again. And I know it sounds boring, but repetition is the master of all skill, and that's how you build consistency. You know, I run the exact same wealth seminar every couple of months, and at the end, my attendees come up to me and say, that was amazing. That was great. When's your next one? Is it going to be the same? And you know what I say to them? Of course it's going to be the same. But don't get me wrong, and don't confuse that for me not being how to tweak things here and there, add current content, use better technology, make it more fun, add more games, or do whatever it takes to make it more engaging to my audience. That part will always get better. However, the principles, the basic concepts, and the foundations of what I teach and who I am at my core will always be the same. So if you want to be amazing, if you want to be brilliant, if you want to be great, if you want to be outstanding, I can assure you, the more you focus on consistency, the more successful you bupe.
