Consistency

“The way I do anything is the way I do everything.” – Paul Finck

One of my favorite sayings because it is so very true. Do you approach everything in your life the same way – with the same positive energy, with the same drive and determination, with the same focus on quality?

I always look for consistency in those I surround myself. When I notice them acting one way when we are in private and another way when we are in public, it makes me take notice. One of my strengths is I am the same person no matter what and approach my life with the same energy, drive, focus and FUN at all times.

Since I do this, those around me notice I am consistent and they feel more at ease with me. This leads to more opportunities in many ways since people like to work with people they are comfortable around. Nice side effect of just being who I am at all times.

This also goes back to the idea that the way you practice anything is what your body and mind get used to doing when they encounter a certain type of situation. When I played soccer, my coaches always wanted us to practice the same way we would play in a game – same intensity, same focus, same mindset. Why? They knew if we practiced this way, during the game we would react the same way. Makes the result more predictable for all involved.

Approaching life with this attitude of the way I do anything is the way I do everything just makes sense. I want the most out of my life. To get the most out of my life, I have to show up in the same way for everything – whether it’s shuttling the kids to practice or the dentist, reviewing notes from previous coaching calls before getting on the phone with one of my students, hanging out with family and friends on my pool deck or training hundreds of people at an event – I want to provide and receive the maximum value. I do this by being the Ultimate Me at all times.

Are you ready to step into this same kind of commitment to design the life of your dreams?
