5 Similarities🧬Between Consistency And Stupidity: Understand When To Pivot✂️ And When To Persist🔨(An advice for people who feel stuck)
Any idiot can make another idiot tired -Verkhoshansky
Hey Fam!
I came across a podcaster named Heather Parady who made 500 episodes and went nowhere(this isn't a place). I want to start my own podcast and this scared me a lot. Imagine 500 attempts with no results. Ouch! 📌
then how do I differentiate my Consistency from something not so intelligent?
will it take 500 attempts?
What will help me make smarter decisions in life?
What will distinguish stubbornness from perseverance?
How will know that I’m not wasting energy on unproductive habits?
Similarities
- the more you do it, the easier it gets
- you don’t pay attention to the naysayers
- You are laser-focused at what you want to do
- You do it every day or at a specific time or for a desired number of time blocks every day
- the only way to get better at it is by repetition
Difference(s)
- Pivot
By willingness to learn, adapt, and make necessary changes based on feedback and mistakes.
Do this and you’ll avoid wasting time on unproductive habits.
I had previously come across this quote by Michael Jordan
You can practice shooting eight hours a day, but if your technique is wrong, then all you become is very good at shooting the wrong way. Get the fundamentals down and the level of everything you do will rise.
Keep listening for pointers, or else it will mean that you can keep on posting stuff and go nowhere, no traction, no attention, and definitely no monetization.
People always think that they are doing the right thing and they keep repeating it coz it kinda works for them. They never shift, they never make those jumps. Reminds me of Einstein’s famous quote:
“Insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results.”
If you always do what you have always done, you'll always get what you have always got.
