You just need to be ruthlessly consistent.
It won't be as intense as you picture it, unlike professional athletes... as entrepreneurs there is no intense down by 2 points with 4 seconds left in the 4th quarter moments, the way we sometimes picture it.
It's just showing up. every. single. day. doing the things that move the needle. the boring things.
He who does the same thing that get's results longer than the next man, will always win.
Its the things that are easy to do, but also easy to not do.
If you can show up and do the thing everyday. you will win.
For example if you post 3 IG reels a day for the next 5 years with zero missed days, i bet you'll grow a nice personal brand.
Day-to-day, it isn't that hard... just 3 reels... not that intense right? But to do so over 5 years with no off days.. that's ruthless consistency.
And that's all you need.
