"Your mind is only 5% of the equation. Consistency is the other 95%." We live in a world where instant results are glorified. People start learning a new skill, work at it for a few days after their 9-to-5, and then give up because they don’t see immediate change. But here's the truth: Success isn't about brilliance or natural talent. It's about showing up consistently, even when it gets tough. Imagine the 5% of your success coming from your brain, your strategy, ideas, and creativity. But the remaining 95%? That comes from showing up every day, even when motivation dips and progress feels invisible. Consistency compounds. It’s the days you don’t feel like practicing, the nights you stay committed to learning, the mornings you push forward even when you’re tired. Those small efforts add up over time and build momentum. Don’t mistake patience for wasted time. Every effort counts. Every minute you put into building your craft, improving your skill, and staying on the journey is a step toward success. You’ll never regret consistency—only the decision to quit too early. The process will pay off. Trust it.

We're often told that to create success, we need to remove any limiting beliefs that are hindering us. The trouble is, sometimes the thing we're trying to achieve seems just too big, or too far away from where we currently are - and we're not always able to self-talk ourselves out of a negative thought process. In these situations it can be far more powerful to simply consider the next step forwards as opposed to the ultimate goal. First we can ask ourselves - do I want to improve or do I believe improvement in this area is possible for me? Once we find evidence that we are making improvements, we will start to believe that success is not only possible, but it is in fact probable.

When someone tries to pull you back while you're successful, here’s how you can handle it: 1. **Stay Grounded:** Remember your goals and the work you've put in to get where you are. Don't let their actions shake your confidence. 2. **Understand Their Intentions:** Assess whether the person is acting out of jealousy, insecurity, or genuine concern. This helps you respond appropriately. 3. **Set Boundaries:** Politely but firmly distance yourself from people who attempt to bring negativity into your life. Protect your energy and focus. 4. **Focus on Your Journey:** Remind yourself that their opinions or actions don’t define your success. Stay committed to your vision. 5. **Use It as Motivation:** Turn their negativity into a reason to push harder and prove them wrong by continuing to thrive. 6. **Surround Yourself with Positivity:** Seek out mentors, friends, and colleagues who uplift and inspire you. 7. **Reflect on Your Actions:** If there's truth in their criticism, use it constructively. If not, let it go and keep moving forward. Success often attracts both supporters and detractors. The key is to focus on the former and not let the latter derail your progress.

I wholeheartedly concur with Steve’s sentiment. His eloquent expression resonates with my own approach to achieving goals. When striving for success, I believe in meticulous planning, unwavering determination, and continuous learning. By meticulously breaking down objectives into actionable steps, we pave the way for steady progress. Furthermore, maintaining a growth mindset allows us to adapt, learn from setbacks, and refine our strategies. Steve’s succinct words encapsulate a powerful truth: Success is not accidental; it’s a deliberate journey fueled by passion, persistence, and purpose.

Set high goals and achieve them with consistency! We all want to aim high, but setting high goals is only half the battle. The real key to reaching those goals is consistency. Big dreams don’t happen overnight—they’re built through small, daily actions that add up over time. It’s easy to get excited and motivated when you set a goal, but the real challenge is maintaining that energy and commitment every single day. Consistency is what separates those who talk about success from those who actually achieve it. Here’s the formula: 1. Set a clear, ambitious goal. Know exactly what you’re aiming for. 2. Break it down into actionable steps. What can you do daily or weekly that moves you toward that goal? 3. Stay consistent. Even on the hard days, keep pushing forward. The small wins and repeated efforts will lead to big results over time. Your goals should scare you a little and excite you a lot. But more than that, you need a system of consistent actions that will get you there. Success isn’t built on motivation—it’s built on consistency.

Success isn't luck, hard work, intelligence, consistency...etc But the line between success and failure is significantly influenced by the those People often mention examples of success where a single factor is claimed to have been contributed to one's success It can be dangerous to generalize cases, people, situations ...etc, because we overlook the numbers and extent of each factor at play that have influenced the outcome. As a survival mechanism, our brain loves associating input with output. Don't get biased in this process! Cheers

The truth about risks: (It’s not the failures that stay with you.) → The chances you don’t take will stay with you. 👉 Fear fades. Regret doesn’t. → Success isn’t guaranteed, but growth is. 👉 Even when it doesn’t go to plan, you’ll learn something. → Playing it safe feels comfortable in the moment. 👉 But years from now, you’ll ask yourself, “What if?” → The truth? 👉You’ll forget the stumbles. But you’ll never forget the leap you didn’t take.

The only timekeeper that truly matters is the one ticking within you. When chasing a grand vision, I've discovered that obsessing over external timelines can be like trying to catch the wind - often futile and potentially distracting. Here's the insight I've gained: We tend to overestimate our short-term capabilities but vastly underestimate our long-term potential. I recall setting my sights on acquiring 100 properties. Rather than imposing a rigid schedule, I chose to focus on steady, relentless progress. The outcome? I reached my goal in 5 years, from 2015 to 2020. The lesson gleaned? Don't let arbitrary deadlines become a source of anxiety. Keep moving forward, and you'll be astounded by what you can achieve when you allow yourself room to grow, learn, and adapt. Success isn't measured by the speed of your journey, but by the certainty of your arrival. Remember, your internal drive is like a deep-rooted tree - it doesn't bend to external pressures. It grows at its own pace, sometimes rapidly, sometimes slowly, but always reaching upward. Nurture this inner strength, and it will support you throughout your journey, regardless of how long the path may be.
