Over The Long Run, Consistency Often Beat Talent
Success is an infinite game of consistent practice
Success is less about intelligence or intensity of effort and more about the consistency of practice.
I call it “consistency intelligence (CQ)”.
CQ is the most practical explanation for success in almost any field.
The people who spend the most time doing the same thing repeatedly, improving their craft and optimising their processes, end up successful.
Warren Buffet has spent over 40 years honing investing. Today, he is one of the most successful investors of all time.
Jeff Bezos sold his first book on Amazon in 1995. He has been being improving selling on Amazon for over 25 years. Today, he is the world’s second-richest person.
That’s the power of consistency.
Want to become a top writer? Show up every day and hone your craft. Want to write a book? Aim to write every day: you will finish it sooner than you think.
Want to get fit? Exercise at the same day/time every day or week. Don’t stress about the intensity of effort. Just make the process a sustainable routine.
Consistency compound efforts into better outcomes.
