Consistency is the Cousin to Success?

What do I mean consistency is the cousin to success?  There are a lot of people that think you become an overnight success, except the successful. The successful know that what appears to be ‘an overnight success’ took years of working on their craft.

To be successful, you have to have a certain high level of consistency. You must stick to your plan, goals, and vision!

How many of you guys know someone who is always trying something new and trying something different but never sticks with anything? My point exactly. You either knew or thought of someone in your mind instantly.

Now, I don't think it's bad to try something new or to switch it up. However, I think the more times you switch it up and deviate from your original plans, the less likely you are to achieve them.

Success can be elusive to some. But, it's really not. Success comes to those who really want it. And consistency is one of the determining factors of achieving success.

I wanted to make money to provide for my mom. So, I enrolled in college. However, I found out that I was not the smartest person in the classroom. I got low grades and partied all the time. Then I got a wake-up call for my college, if I didn't improve my grades, I would be kicked out college. So I had to change my mindset.  My mentor told me about consistently working on myself outside of my college course. I had to find a group of folks who were smarter than me. I had to meet with my professors daily. And I had to change my major three times. I made lots of money and great relationships while remaining focus on my goals.

What do I mean by all this? If you want to be successful, you to fall in love with consistency. You must find a way to be consistent.

Takeaways:

Consistency will get you closer to success than any other skill. When everyone else is jumping from interest to interest and not following through with their goals; you’ll remain focus and tackle the tasks at hand.

How to handle your divorce?

Going through a divorce is never an easy process to initiate. I’ve been through one. You make a vow to stick with someone for the rest of your life. And then all of sudden, you find yourself arguing everyday and totally loathing the presence of the person.  So I’m writing this blog post to hopefully help others who are thinking about going through this process; or those who have started the process already.   I handle a few divorce cases and I’ve learned prearranged agreement is always better. I think too many times spouses are wanting to get the most out of a divorce. But, in the process they drain their personal finances. People see a lot of high-net-worth individuals on social media and television getting divorces. You see the ridiculous amounts of money for child support and alimony.  However, in everyday life, people don’t have access to millions of dollars and multibillion dollar companies.  With that being said, my encouragement a lawyer is to make sure you to work out an agreem

When a founder leaves from a legal perspective?

In a world of venture capitalism, tech company selling, and Shark Tank; it is important to make sure that the transition is done well legally.  Not too many founders and/or acquiring companies think the transitioning through regarding a founder leaving the company. When the founder of a business leaves, there are several legal considerations to keep in mind in order to keep the business going.   And when we mean keeping the business going, we are taking about growth. As we all know, that if you aren’t growing, you are dying. Succession Planning: Having a plan in place for when the founder leaves can help ensure a smooth transition and minimize disruption to the business. This may include designating a successor, creating a buy-sell agreement, or establishing a board of directors. Review of Contracts: Make sure to review any contracts that the founder was party to and determine if there are any provisions that may be affected by their departure.   Not too many times do companies t

When your hardwork isn't paying off?

 How many times have we felt like we’ve been beating our head against a wall?  When your hard work isn't paying off, it can be helpful to step back and reassess your approach. Here are a few things you can try: Set specific, measurable goals: Make sure you know what you're working towards and how you'll know when you've achieved it. Get feedback: Ask for feedback from others and use it to improve.  However, it is important to make sure you get feedback from ‘right’ person. I mean, you know what they say about opinions. But, if you have the right team around you, it might be useful to gain feedback.  Learn from failure: Failure can be a valuable learning opportunity. Don't be afraid to take risks and experiment.  Some might say ‘fail fast.’ I recommend to at least execute on something.  Stay positive and focus on progress: Remember that progress, not perfection, is the goal.  If you refer back to the ‘set specific, measurable goals.’ I think too many people fail in l
