#44 - Monday Minute - Consistancy is the name of the game.

All right. Hello. Happy Monday, everybody. I hope you guys are geared up for an amazing week.

Jeff, Jeff. Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

What?

It's Tuesday.

Today's Tuesday?

Yeah. What the heck?

What happened to Monday? Minute.

Ah, man, I guess we weren't very consistent on that, were we?

Oh, consistency, Luke. Tell me about that, buddy. Why is it so important that we are consistent in our lives personally, in our businesses, with our employees? Why is consistency so important?

So let's. Consistency matters so much to everything we do. So people out there may know me, may not, but for 10 years plus, I was consistent runner, consistent trainer, doing all these things. And now, unfortunately, life has got the better of me. And I don't train consistently, so I'm not as fast as I once was. Was. I can't do an ironman. I don't swim very consistently anymore. So my fitness has gone out the door, Jeff, and I'm not as good as I once was. But in business, we can't be that way, can we?

No, no, no, we can't. We need to be consistent. And, you know, this kind of struck me because, you know, when. When you look forward to something or when you have something that's on your agenda or your schedule, it creates a routine. It can create consistency, and you build on those to get better and better each week, week, each month, each year. So when you have those things, whether they're in your personal life, with your family or yourself, when Luke is running or whether it's with your business and your employees, you need to be consistent. If you're going to set up like we have, Monday morning meetings, everyone knows it. If I start missing that or I just don't show up or I just don't schedule it, people aren't going to take it serious. They're not going to think that we're really serious about our training and we're really serious about our meetings, and we're not going to be able to move ourselves forward as an organization when you're just all over the place.

Well, that's so true. When, you know, when we had Marshall, we were talking about training our staff. The one thing Marshall really pointed out was how important the consistency in that meeting is. You know, it needs to be the exact amount of time. Everybody needs to be there on time. It needs to be the same day. No matter if it's. If you're doing it once a week or once a month, whatever that looks like, you have to be consistent. And it carries on more than just staff. We have to be consistent with our customers as well, Jeff, if we, you know, if we consistently call someone who's past due on certain days and request a promise to pay from them, that's going to really change our collection habits for that customer. If they know that if we are going to consistently call them, the last thing they want to do is get that call. So maybe they live up to that promise to pay or they make sure that they give us a promise to pay every time they do it. Do you see that in your collections, Jeff?

Yeah, absolutely. I mean, obviously, consistency with everyone and follow through and setting that expectation makes all the difference. And you build on that and you keep building on it, and it gets better and better and better. Right, Luke?

Sure. And, you know. Yeah, go ahead.

I was saying, our challenge for you guys this week in our Monday rant, get consistent. Get a schedule, set it up, put it in your calendar, make sure it does not get bumped. No matter what, be consistent with your staff. Be consistent with yourself.

It matters, man. It'll change your whole outlook.

All right, everybody, have an awesome week.

See you.
