1 00:00:00 --> 00:00:30 Some people are trusting a process that's broken. They're trusting their own effort. They think that, well, this is how I've always done it. There's a difference between being persistent and being stupid. You need to make sure that you are breaking down the right barriers and not just blowing your head against the wall. 2 00:00:30 --> 00:01:00 What if you could build a business in the modern world as big or as small as you want without having to compromise the things that were the most important to you in the very beginning? This is the Wealthy Consultant Talks Podcast with Taylor Welch and Mike Walker. Today, they’re sharing lessons from their experiences over the past 10 to 15 years. Let’s get into it. 3 00:01:00 --> 00:01:40 What is going on? My friends, Mike here, excited to have you with me on another episode of the Wealthy Consultant Podcast. As always, I get the privilege, the honor, and the experience of working with every single one of our clients here at The Wealthy Consultant. We serve a full spectrum of entrepreneurs, from those crafting new offers to those managing seven- or eight-figure businesses. 4 00:01:40 --> 00:02:20 Everybody experiences problems in their business. It’s just a matter of what level those problems are. The more sophisticated the problems, the more sophisticated the solutions required. We help subject matter experts, coaches, and consultants unlock their potential, regardless of where they are in their journey. Today, I want to talk about something that affects everyone—consistency. 5 00:02:20 --> 00:03:00 Consistency is one of the biggest challenges people face. It’s why gym attendance peaks on January 1st and drops off by January 15th. Overcoming this human struggle takes focus and a commitment to something bigger than yourself. There are many hacks and methodologies to build consistency, but I want to dive into the operating system behind it. 6 00:03:00 --> 00:03:40 We’re often searching for external solutions—a subscription, a coach—and while these help, true consistency begins within. Whether you’re a solo operator or leading a team, you must first lead yourself before you can lead others. We often fall to the level of our standards, not rise to our potential. Today, I’ll share an analogy to help frame consistency and offer key strategies to maintain it. 7 00:03:40 --> 00:04:20 Consistency creates credibility, which builds relationships—the lifeblood of business. Credibility with yourself and your market establishes the trust needed to unlock opportunities. Success takes time, and meaningful progress doesn’t happen overnight. Let’s talk about setting expectations and recognizing early indicators of success. 8 00:04:20 --> 00:05:00 Imagine an old-fashioned well pump. You pull a heavy lever, creating a vacuum that draws water up from the ground. At first, there’s no water, despite the effort. Frustration sets in, and many quit. But someone who understands the process knows water is on its way. It’s just unseen—happening beneath the surface. Consistency is like this. 9 00:05:00 --> 00:05:40 Eventually, the water flows, and the effort required becomes minimal. The initial work was front-loaded. In business, this means understanding that early efforts may not show results immediately but are essential for long-term success. Misaligned expectations often derail consistency. Trusting the process is key. 10 00:05:40 --> 00:06:20 Be persistent, but with purpose. Don’t just push blindly. Align with proven strategies and experienced mentors who can guide you. Persistence without strategy is counterproductive. Focus on one proven path and stick with it until results come. Consistency, paired with the right process, is unstoppable. 11 00:06:20 --> 00:07:00 Lack of consistency will kill your business. It’s not about not knowing what to do; it’s about consistently doing what you already know. Implementation, not information, is where people falter. Stay the course, trust the process, and success will follow. Thanks for joining me on this episode of the Wealthy Consultant Podcast. Take care, my friends.
