THE JEM DIGEST

In Association with Studiobook.io

The genesis of this newsletter started with a theory.

I have struggled my entire entrepreneurial journey with Shiny-Object Syndrome, Imposter Syndrome, and Procrastination. As I’m sure you could surmise, this is not a combination conducive of entrepreneurial success.

In spite of this, I’ve been able to accomplish some really cool things, without really taking the time to give myself full credit for it. As I’ve gone further and further, I’ve gotten better at working around these things, but have never really been able to full remove it from my life. That was until I had this theory.

I’ve always been a major proponent of “consistency brings success”, because in my professional career, I’ve found that at my highest peaks of achievement, consistency of execution had been the biggest factor. Seems like common sense, but I’ve seen over and over that people struggle to hold themselves accountable when they are building their own business. I got kind of fed up with this. So I really thought about it. I really looked into what I have accomplished and what I’ve seen others accomplish. I spoke to other entrepreneurs who I perceive as more successful than myself and found that they struggled with similar things. I dug deep into how they overcome.

The funny thing is, the answer isn’t glamorous. In reality, we all actually know what we need to do to succeed and the crazy thing is, the absolutely insane thing is, that we are the biggest road block we have. Everyone reading this, and I happen to know most of you at this point knows what they need to do to make their side business work, or they’re small business work, but you are making some kind of excuse for yourself.

I also do this, and when you actually think about it, it’s insane.

So, this is how “100 days to change your life” was born. In theory, success in heavily predicated on consistency. There are nuances, and I don’t deny that, but consistency is the main thing.

Consistency brings:

1. Repetition

2. Learning

3. Confidence

If you do things over and over again, you’ll get better, you’ll feel better, and you will have an easier and easier time being discipline about your craft and holding yourself accountable while still being kind to yourself. I challenge all of my readers to:

1. Think of the person you want to be in the next 100 days

2. Create 10 actionable tasks that you can do daily to get closer to that goal. Challenge yourself, but make the tasks realistic and simple (i.e. posting content, praying, going on a walk/run, doing outreach notes).

3. Now, dedicate yourself and I mean this, really dedicate yourself to completing those tasks EVERY DAY for 100 days straight.

After those 100 days are complete, I GUARANTEE, you will see the results you’ve been seeking.

Consistency is key, but only you hold the keys to consistency.
