I was informed as a child that getting into a reputable college required me to get good marks in high school. And in order to land a decent first job, I would need to perform well in college. And so forth.
Part of that, I’m sure, was accurate.
However, in an ever-evolving world, having an excellent Berkeley degree alone won’t guarantee that you’ll be ready for the kinds of opportunities that open up.
In my instance, I received my degree right before the open internet became live. For what I would eventually perform at my profession, no degree could have adequately prepared me.
However, you know what my favourite outcome from my time at Cal was?
Graduating.
Finishing.
Indeed, that was the issue. thus it was difficult. Additionally, I considered quitting a few times. In addition, a few of my classmates had already dropped out when I started.
Finishing was the thing that convinced me
In what way did it persuade me? that I could complete.
That’s the effect of ending. It demonstrates your ability. It assists you in realising that you possess the ability to persevere and not give up.
I completed 366 days of nonstop blogging today.
Every day.
As I began on the final day of the previous year, this post serves as the final one for this one as well.
I kept a blog this year, every single day. Not writing about what I had for lunch or anything similar, just trying to be helpful.
I understand that you probably already believe—or soon will—that quantity is not as important as quality.
You know what I respond to that, too?
Quantity plus quality has even greater influence.
Since being consistent isn’t about what you consistently do. It is its own goal.
I define consistency as follows:
- You show up.Even when you don’t want to.
- You put in the time and energy.Even when it’s hard.
- You embrace the process.Even more than the result.
- You finish.Even when you weren’t sure you could.
As I mentioned to you the other day, I’m not giving up. You know why, though, I would advise someone to hire me if I were? For the reasons mentioned above. I am capable of showing up, working hard, accepting the process, and finishing.
That kind of individual is someone that every team wants on it.
The Power of Consistency
I was once informed by a guy I knew that I was a guy with “ideas” but no execution. That stuff is why I adore it; it just keeps me going. Here is what I completed during the previous year:
- Managed the development of the Plugin Performance Monitor
- Managed the development of WooCommerce Automated Testing
- Ran due diligence and helped close the acquisition of LearnDash
- Took over the GM role of LearnDash and hired more staff
- Launched the first version of “Skip the Grind” conference
- Ran CaboPress with 50 people flying in/out of Mexico without COVID
- oh, and…
- Wrote a new post. every. single. day.
I just finished watching AppleTV+’s Swagger. “Show up on three,” the coach says as he gathers them for their first basketball huddle.
They give him a questioning glance. “Arise!” Is that a call to action?
However, it is.
Since the key to execution is simply being present.
Regularly.
Want to Become a Better Blogger?
As a result, when I was blogging daily, I would receive questions about the process and how to improve my blogging from comments, direct messages, and Twitter replies to my posts.
These are unrelated questions regarding everyday blogging. These are related to the most typical difficulties faced by bloggers: freezing while staring at a blank page and being impatient with the length of time it takes to write.
I realised I needed to take more specific action to assist folks even as I responded to the inquiries.
