Don't wait for perfect! Embrace CONSISTENCY!

Here's one habit that could make you unstoppable. In his book Great by Choice, Jim Collins shares what two teams did who were competing to be the first at the South Pole. One died, the other one made it out. So let's say you're at the South Pole, the weather's awful and dangers everywhere. What do you do? Do you go as far as you can every single day, or do you only travel when the weather breaks? Keep in mind, both teams had the same equipment and they had the same skill set. And as you listen, see if you can guess which one made it out. One team's strategy was to march 20 miles every single day, no matter the weather. No matter what, they'd march 20 miles day in and day out. The other team would use good weather to their advantage and sometimes went 40 to 60 mil day. When the weather was bad, they'd use that to their advantage and rest warmly in their tents. So which one lived, do you know? The team led by Roald Amundsen that marched ahead 20 miles every single day, no matter the weather, not only got to the South Pole first, but more importantly, lived to tell about it. Robert Falcon Scott and his crew, not so much. They were found dead the next spring. Consistency, it turns out, is the best friend of the successful. So if you got the skills, you got the equipment, then just get consistency and believe it, you've got it made.
