Consistency

Be your biggest fan.

Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you.

You must clap for yourself during those times.

Be your biggest fan.

No one else will be as hard on you as you are on yourself.

You are your best competition and your toughest critic.

When it comes to consistency, you're your own worst enemy.

Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you. It's easier to be consistent when others are holding you accountable. You must clap for yourself during those times. Be your biggest fan.

There may be times in your life when no one appears to be clapping for you—no one is reaching out to ask you how things are going or to check in on you. Your career may not be where you'd want it to be. Your health may not be at the level you want it to be. You may feel like you're off your game and others think you've lost your edges.

From my earliest memories, I've been a fan of myself.

Now, everyone can come to my programs/events and know that no matter what event they're at, they'll have fun and make some new friends. When you are your biggest fan, you're confident in your own skin and you have a great time being you.

When you're at an event where no one looks like you, or acts like you, or has the same interests like you, it can be intimidating. Your confidence goes down, your happiness goes down - it weighs on you. When you love yourself, you can be yourself. You don't have to try to be someone else to fit in. You can be free to be who you were made to be. Everyone is different and a party with a wide variety of people can be the best party of all.

The value in consistency is that it allows you to create momentum and forward progress. That's how things change. That's how problems are solved. That's how darkness is banished. Consistency is hard and you should be proud of yourself when you do the work and when you follow through.

You have to clap for yourself during those times. Be your biggest fan.

That's what one of my friends tells her kids every morning when they go off to school that consistency is more important than talent; more important than luck; and more important than ideas without execution.

Consistency allows your talent and your ideas to be seen by others. Consistency allows you to have a career. Consistency allows you to earn a living, to feed your family, and to pay the bills when they come due. Consistency allows you to build a business that gives back. Consistency allows you to make your life better with every new step forward that you take.

Consistency is harder when no one is clapping for you.

You must clap for yourself during those times. Be your biggest fan.

Your greatest success will always be just around the corner. Always expect greatness. Always expect it, and then work hard to achieve it.

Life is hard, so don't make it harder than it needs to be. If you feel you're going to fail at something, you will fail at something small. If you expect victory and keep pushing forward, you will fail a few times, but the ultimate success that comes from these small failures is worth the struggle.

Shortcuts will never get you to where you want to be in life and business. The journey is in itself the victory.

Sometimes, the kindest thing you can do for yourself is to believe in yourself. Don't just try to be your biggest fan; be relentless about it. When nobody is screaming your name or telling you how awesome you are, clap for yourself. Be consistent about it.

Tell the world you think you're an amazing person. Have faith that you're destined to do great things.

You see it every day. Someone posts a video to YouTube, Instagram and Facebook gets views, and Snapchat picks it up or even post an article here on readcash. But, how many of those interactions were real?

How many people saw your articles and did nothing?

How many people just left a like or comment on your post and then went on with their day without engaging?

How many people are your real fans? Your real friends? Your real supporters?

Be yourself completely. Be your biggest fan.
