Do. Review. Continue.

Success can be this continuous loop of doing things, reviewing where they got to and then continuing with them into the next step or stage.

That’s it.

For greater success, do more reviewing. This is what really makes the difference and shifts the needle.

We can usually get things moving due to excitement, drive or sheer enthusiasm. But then things seem to stall a little.

Anyone trying to achieve their New Year’s resolutions will recognise this as week 2 or 3 of January. This is where enthusiasm and excitement are fading. Some things are going well but without continuous review, the weeks blend into one another.

Then you might think you’re doing better or worse than you are. By continually reviewing where you are at, you can be clear on how well things are actually going. Much better that, than drifting along blissfully unaware and not making the changes you wanted.

Do What You Say

If you commit and quit, your self esteem will drop. You can’t trust perself or count on yourself. Be realistic. Only commit to those things and timeframes you are actually going to do. Don’t let yourself and other people down.

Do First Things First

When you need to finish something, get it done first. Do not delay. Do not do other easier things first. Take a deep breath, open the tougher, longer, most important item and get that done. You’ll feel better after (maybe not initially) and you can then speed through the other items.

Do What You Say

Or don’t say it.

Become a person who surprises rather than disappoints. Give people reasons to trust you will do what you say, when you said you’re going to do it.

Under-promise and over-deliver. Stop doing this the other way around.

Could You Do Better?

You probably could do a few things better than you’re doing them now. Do you want to put the extra effort in though? This is the challenge.

Most of us have the ability and runway and even desire to do more or be better. However, we also can feel lazy, uninspired or wonder what the point is and whether it is worth it at all.

Well it is worth it. Focus on building your discipline every day. It will carry you through the tough times, the doubtful moments and the significant challenges like loss of motivation, purpose or faith.

You can do better. Build up to it. You’ll be so glad you did. And may regret it if you don’t.

If You Do The Same, You Get The Same

Think of the next 12 months ahead. How closely will it resemble the last 12 months? Will you eat similar foods, sleep at similar times, work about the same hours on very similar type things? I will guess that you’ll also celebrate the same birthdays, holidays and special moments.

If everything you do is the same, how can you expect life to be or feel differently? You really need to make some small changes or shifts in what you do. Then increase the frequency and/or intensity of these changes so you begin to get demonstrably different results.

Could You Do More In Your Day?

I bet you could. Stop scrolling, watching tv or chatting about whatever. Pick a topic, learn about it and then start to create a business with it. You’re not creating IBM overnight. But you will build a small company, learn a lot and maybe even build a bigger company eventually.

Do more of the things that get you closer to your goals and do less faffing around. You will love your progress.
