The Power of Consistency: Unlocking Success Through Habits and Perseverance
Can hard work and consistency really lead to success, even when it feels like nothing’s happening? That’s exactly what we’re tackling on this episode of Will’s Way. We’re diving deep into the power of habits and discipline—how sticking with it, even when the results seem far away, can lead to incredible breakthroughs down the road.
We’ll talk about the universal law of compensation—essentially, the idea that effort and dedication always pay off, even if it’s not in the way or timeline you expect. With personal stories and real-life insights, we’ll share why your feedback means the world to us and how it pushes us to show up every week with episodes that genuinely add value. Together, we’ll challenge the growing mindset that you can get something for nothing, emphasizing why putting in the work is the only way to achieve something meaningful.
Building resilience and perseverance isn’t just about grit—it’s about developing a mindset that keeps you moving forward, no matter what. Tools like habit trackers and planners can help you stay on track without feeling overwhelmed. We’ll also dig into the power of being consistent—not just for yourself but for the trust it builds in your relationships, whether at work or at home.
We’ll highlight stories of people like Elon Musk, who faced failure after failure but kept pushing until they made it. These examples remind us why sticking it out matters and how success often comes to those who refuse to quit. Tune in for practical tips to help you stay the course and for a reminder that the rewards of resilience and hard work are worth it.
Hello, welcome back to another episode of the Will's Way podcast. Thank you for everyone. With all the positive feedback, all of the like, everyone is just like shouted me like messages saying oh, it's great you're doing the podcast again. They enjoyed it, they took some value out of it. Some people have set some goals. It's great. And this is for me. It's not about like, of course I want to be influencing as many people as possible. I do 100%. I'm not saying that's a lie, but just like, even in the start, elements of just being able to help one or two people just also reinforces the reason why I want to do this and the reason why, as well, I feel like my voice has a purpose, to be able to take my thoughts, ideas and experiences and try to be able to say how can I create a medium where I'm putting that out to the universe, where people can come across it, they can listen and they can take value out of it and take it into their own life and all the rest of it. So thank you so much for everyone. That's kind of supported me with this, because I'm keeping myself accountable. That's what we talked about in the last one. We talked about goals and I am going to do a podcast a week. That is the aim and I'm going to just mate. That is what I'm going to do. I am not going to like go back on this promise to myself. I'm definitely going to keep consistent and this is what this you know this podcast about.
Speaker 1:We're going to talk about consistency and the foundation of habits and what discipline actually is and why is it such an important element of why we become successful. Without it, we can't become successful. And it is such an important element to anyone's success. And if you look at anyone's success stories in the past, it's always been bound from habits and discipline and doing the things they don't want to do, and doing it when the results are not there, and keeping resilient and persistent and consistent with what they're doing, with their actions and goals, and eventually they get to this place where they do find that success. And you know, this is what we want to talk about today. Why is it so important? Because, guys, I've been in business a long time and I do know this is key. It's so key even for me and my experiences from you know even seven years people say that's not a massive amount of time in business. Like some people have been in business 30, 40 years and you know to be able to have that success and sustain that consistency is difficult, you know what I mean. And it always allows on anyone to be able to find some form of discipline. And what is discipline and what is a habit? So a habit is something that we repeat more than once on a consistent basis.
Speaker 1:Okay, discipline is doing what you need, what needs to be done, become successful or create a goal or finish something, without actually wanting to do it. And that is the reality of all business, because when we start a business, there's things within that that we love and we enjoy, and that's the reason why we started it right From that bit. Great, you love that part, but there's also so many branches that you don't enjoy, and anyone who knows who started a business themselves, they wouldn't be able to outsource this to who. It's only you. When you start it. That's the way it goes. You wear many hats. You have to wear the hats, you have to do a little bit of everything to make it work until you get to the stage where you can scale it and then obviously employ people to pay them to be able to do the things that you're not so great at, which allows you to scale the business and actually be able to earn more and turn over more and make more profit and obviously also be able to become more free within yourself.
Speaker 1:But to be able to do that, you have to be able to get through the first initial kind of bit where you have to be so disciplined in the early starts of business because you're not getting all the results. Do you know what I mean? And the thing is, what you're putting in almost at the time doesn't come out straight away, and that's always the momentum part of life and the law of compensation. So what's the law of compensation? It's a universal law that governs this whole world that there is always a compensation or karmic debt for what you do or what you don't do. So if you put the work in and you keep consistent and you keep the faith by the law of compensation, what you put in must be able to be come out as the same similar energy and receive or reward.
Speaker 1:Okay, so what that means is that we can't expect to do little bit and get a lot out. Okay, we've got to make sure that we do what we can, but what we can do will be received back to us in reward, and it's a universal law and a lot of people struggle to come across this law and a lot of people don't abide by it, because a lot of people always think that life is against them if something happens or something unfortunate happens. And it's always a case of when you're thinking like that, you're always thinking, ah, life is this random force of events and I'm just a victim, is this random force of events and I'm just a victim from that random force of events, when the reality is, what you get is what you receive as a law of attraction, but also as a law of compensation. So law of compensation for me is a better way to describe it, because what it actually means is how are you going to be compensated for the work you put in? And you can't expect as well to have a belief that you'll do like rewards if you don't do anything to put it into the machines, for it to output back to you. And that's the problem as well, I find this day and age, with a lot of people that expect things for free without really putting the work in, and I don't know what it is. I think it also comes down to how disciplined and how resilient we are in the initial stages to be able to carry on doing the things we don't want to do but also, at the same time, keep like your eyes on the prize or the end goal. And that's the thing with most things as well, with the law of compensation as well that you have to be able to work extremely hard up front.
Speaker 1:And it's a bit like a bamboo tree. Have anyone heard the bamboo tree? Have anyone heard the bamboo tree effect? And this is such a great philosophy and such a great way of looking at life but basically a bamboo tree when you care for it and don't quote me a lot on the exacts of this, but it's the message that I'm trying to pull across is that when you plant the seeds, you have to care for this plant for five years. You don't see any growth of any shoot or anything. Then, after that that five years, it grows like four foot in like a month, and that just goes to show that if you'd have stopped caring for this plant year two, when you've not seen any growth, you'd have never got to that stage where it just starts to take off. When you've not seen any growth. You'd have never got to that stage where it just starts to take off. And that happened for us. That genuinely happened for us, when we were like I maintain it took a good kind of year and a half just from myself to just become busy. You know what I mean. And there was times in that first year it was such a struggle I remember like thinking I really need to get work in here, but also it's a hum. It shows you how tough you can be when the times and ties are against you and also shows you that giving up isn't an option. And that's what ties into consistency is also saying I'm not giving up on these goals.
Speaker 1:So once you've, you know, made your goals, or once you've really thought about, kind of what you want from life and you've kind of put down into your habit tracker I mean we talked about the legend planner last week about two or three people actually order one, which is amazing, man. But honestly, the people that actually ordered that, I'm telling you now their lives will change if they follow that through and they actually go into that and actually use it for their advantage. It 100 will right, but within there there's a habits tracker, okay. So I've written all my habits down this particular week and I've kind of written them all in and like for each of one I've ticked them off every single day. Okay, what the habit tracker does. It's a bit like accountability. When I look in that and I reflect on the week if I've got missing gaps in there, it'll make me feel a little bit guilty that I didn't manage to do it.
Speaker 1:And the idea is, what we want to try to do is be able to be consistent with what we're doing. Don't even overdo it, guys. Don't overdo it Like don't go in too much and too hard and try to over deliver and then not be able to consistently be able to then provide what you're doing Okay. And this is the thing as well. I think a lot of people use a lot of energy in trying to just impress first off, and even sometimes, like when, for example, you win a new customer you're better off being consistently good, turning up every time doing what's expected, rather than trying to over impress the first two months, then after that drop backwards. Do you know what I mean? You're better to be more consistent because, longevity wise, what you've also done there is not manage your expectation well, it's obviously great that you was great to begin with, but that's what the customer expects now as your standard, as a normal, and when there's contrast between that, you're also going to be seeing that you're not done as well, because even your level of being high is great. But if you're not consistent after that and you put all that energy into that first initial part and you haven't consistently delivered across the rest, then there's going to be contrast as well from when you began that and to where you are now and that's only going to look bad on you. Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:So the idea is that consistency always will be the over-accentuous energy or talent. Consistency will always beat talent always If we just constantly are on the button but also just make sure that we're not overdoing it. Let's get that as a compound interest. Do you know what I mean? Because it builds trust with people as well and in business as well, because people are more likely to support you when you deliver reliably more Like. You know you've got that mate We've all got a friend as well that whenever you say you're going to meet them, they're always there.
Speaker 1:They're just reliable Like. Never ever give like. I've got a perfect example of this mate, my bro Mikey. We go gym on Sundays, mikey, we go gym on sundays. Yeah, and no matter what, if I say yeah, like every week, I message that are we still up for gym tomorrow? But I know, I know it's on, I know we're doing that. You know what I mean. I know we're going there and that's what reliable is.
Speaker 1:And when you consistently turn up for someone and they turn up for you, you just, you just see them as a higher value person. You do, and I think that's that's what life has got to be as well. We've got to see each other's higher value people. Do you know, I mean, and we do that by consistently being reliable, do you know? I mean, that's how we, how we do it. Okay. So when we're consistent, when we have challenges, okay, it helps us overcome setbacks and it builds this resilience inside us. Okay, it creates a mindset of like perseverance and that mindset allows us to be able to, whenever we're feeling like we can't do something, just go a little bit further with that or do that little extra bit, do that little thing, push through it, do you know, I mean, and when you've got that attitude, it allows you to push through failure. And when failure comes and inevitably it does, and it comes a lot a lot of people don't realize this is a natural part of life. It's just how are we allowing ourselves to push through that failure with the right positive perseverance mindset? Are we just going to give up? Do you know what I mean?
Speaker 1:And entrepreneurs like elon musk, constantly, like pushed through failures to achieve their goals, had so many difficulties before they got to where they needed to be. Do you know what I mean? So many difficulties, and when they pushed forward through them, they proved and showed that they can achieve what they. I mean. Look at what he's achieved now. You've got SpaceX, you know. You've got Tesla. You know richest man in the world. Do you know what I mean? But he would have never got there without actually really you know, going through the failures and all the, all them times when things didn't actually go right.
Speaker 1:Do you know I mean and that's another thing that we also have to be able to understand that everyone that is in that position, like we said with the law of compensation, everyone is not in position to like be where they are. They've done, they've got their flowers, man Like, they deserve their flowers. They're there for a reason. Does that make sense? And this is also where the law of compensation is a universal law and a lot of people like to question or assume that other people shouldn't be where they are without really having the facts. The fact is, if they have it and they've retained it, they deserve it and that's the universal law. That is what the law is at play. And if you don't have the facts to assume that they don't, then you're questioning the law now and you're questioning that. This is how things work in the world.
Speaker 1:And when you question that, your belief system is not strong enough for you to be able to have the faith that when you do persevere and you do believe, you're going to go grab your dreams and go where you need to go. Do you know what I mean? It also doesn't reinforce that. So we've got to also remember that our limiting beliefs are such a play on this as well, because we need to understand that what we actually believe is how we're going to form a habit. You know, if we believe that this works, then we're going to try to do it every day. Do you know what I mean? The belief system has to reinforce the action. Clarity as well. Clarity through repetition allows us to refine the craft over time. That's what repetition does for us Doing it over and over and over again. Do you know what I mean? Being disciplined to be able to do that? Not even that.
Speaker 1:This gives me another little example. I actually went skating the other day. I went skating what? Three or four months ago, yeah, no, but actually I say three or four, but it was about two years. I think two, three years, but that was a while back. But actually when I first went there I actually got it. I actually like I was falling over everywhere, but after a few laps I started to practice. The brain kind of started to try to be able to look at the muscles and it was all connecting. I was going around and I was on the handrail, at first initially, then after. After that I was like, okay, I'm okay, now I don't need to touch the handrail. But within that real quick part of time I kept falling over. But the repetition of me just keep getting up and trying every single time I did that, I got that little bit better and when I did that gave me also a little bit of confidence to keep going.
Speaker 1:So this also just goes to show how the mind works right. We've got to be able to do what we love to do, but keep doing it and just keep repeating the process and if you do that consistently, you will get results. Okay, you a hundred percent will. Okay, the thing is right. Sometimes when we start something new, with the guy like we all got the planner last week and even me when I, like last week, when I first writing in the goals, all excited for to, to excited to get the new year going and just jump right in, okay, you've got to also remember that when you get to that first initial part because, like one little action that you do say, for example, you go to bed late at night, then in the morning you feel a little bit tired and you know you have to wake up five to go to the gym to be able to fit into your schedule, but you don't quite want to do it like dead hard times and sometimes when you get to that little spot and you're like and you slip up, it can be very detrimental in the way that you think about yourself, because you can really beat yourself up about it.
Speaker 1:Okay, but the problem is with that if you don't jump back on the horse, then you're going to be completely away from that kind of reality of you know you go back again and you fell twice. You're going to really fall into a rut then because it's going to be easy to give up when you've done that twice. But they say and I read this in the book from Atomic Habits from James Clear that if you jump back on the horse, if you only have one day out and you jump back on it doesn't actually really affect the outcome the main outcome because you're back on track. But if you miss two days, the likelihood goes up tenfold of you failing. So whenever you have missed a day and you know that you've got to be able to get back on it, you've got to approach that with a better mindset. Say, no, I've got to jump back on the horse because I don't want to fall backwards. If I take another day off, it's going to be 10 times harder and that's the reality of the situation.
Speaker 1:You've got to be able to go out there and really understand that, and it's a mindset as well. You know you can't go ahead and try all these things with just keeping the same mindset. You've got to be able to be willing to change the way you think and the way you see the world, and that perspective and perception is really driven by your subconscious brain, is really driven by your belief systems. So you've got to be able to put yourself in a position, a situation where you're willing to learn and come away from the life you're living. And that's insanity. For that, if you you a lot of people don't like the circumstances they're in but they're not willing to do absolutely anything about it, and that's a crazy thing. That's where insanity lies, because you want things to change but you're not willing to do anything about it. Do you know what I mean? That's crazy. That's so crazy.
Speaker 1:And long-term vision and patience is one thing that we've also got to be able to look at, because ultimately, a lot of our goals that we want are longer term. We know that they're not going to happen overnight and to be able to see them, you've got to be able to really understand how your time now is almost like compound interest, just like you'd put it away into a bank account. And that's the thing you look at compound interest, how that works from the early age if you save enough over a long period of time, but look what that effort back then, or that money turns into in the future when you consistently compound it. And it's the same with actions and what we do, same with actions and how we actually do not mean find a way to be able to tackle life as well. Okay, so, guys, a bit of a final thought on this one, and again, my saying for this particular podcast is consistency will always beat talent. So talent will get you started, but consistency ensures that you'll finish right. We are what we repeatedly do. Excellent, then, is not an act but a habit, and that was Aristotle. So, um, yeah, guys, I'm going to leave you on them. Cool points.
Speaker 1:I hope everybody's enjoyed today's podcast. Nice, quick 20 minutes for you for the week to get your guys back into consistency. So, remember consistency. Consistency is the one it, it will always win, and this week I want you guys to think about that. Am I consistent this week? Am I doing everything every day? Don't overdo it, don't underdo it, but do it consistently. See where I will be at the end of the week.
Speaker 1:I want people to hit me up with their consistent actions and tell me where it's got them in terms of law of compensation, and we did that today as well. So I'm going to go over what we went over today. So we went over the law of compensation and why it's so important for us to be able to understand what we give is what we get Very much like karma. We went over discipline and we also went over what discipline means and why founding habits is so important and how that adds to success as compound interest, and we also talked about you know how it also looks like when we're looking into the future. We're looking at long term and also how we need to be disciplined in the hard times and do the things we don't want to do, and it will always pay off in the future. So, guys, I hope you enjoyed today's podcast. Have a blessed week. You'll see me next week. Take care.
