Advantages of Consistent Daily Habits

Think about brushing and flossing. Do it sporadically, and plaque builds up. Do it daily, and you prevent it. The same principle applies in sales. An action is something you do once in a while. A system is a set of actions you do consistently over time. Why does matter? When you have a system, you’re doing the right things over and over again, not just when you feel like it. The benefit? You create momentum which stacks the odds in your favor for success It’s not just for you. It’s something you can hand off to others too. For example, if you’re a SDR, here’s a system called Winning the Day. How it works: You earn points for completing actions every day. 1. Before leaving work, list 35 people to prospect the next day. Let your present self help your future self (1 point) 2. Make cold calls for 45 minutes. (1 point) 3. Confirm meetings. (1 point) 4. Send 20 cold emails. (1 point) 5. Send 5 handwritten notes or videos to prospects. (1 point) 6. Stay positive—no gossiping or blaming. (1 point) 7. Spend 20 minutes calling closed-lost opportunities to ask for feedback. (1 point) 8. Send a one-sentence email to prospects who missed meetings: “Have you deferred looking at [your solution]?” (1 point) 9. Share 5 useful articles with prospects you haven’t spoken to in 3 months. (1 point) 10. Take a 10-minute tech-free walk. Notice what you see, hear, and feel. (1 point) Scoring: 8+ points in a day? You won the day. 40+ points in a week? You won the week. 160+ points in a month? You won the month. If you fall short, it’s okay—simply begin again. This isn’t a competition. It’s a practice. Success is built by showing up consistently. What’s your system? What’s your score today?

Do you have any Consistency Triggers? Ever wonder how some people seem to make progress without thinking twice about it? The secret isn’t superhuman discipline -- it’s smart triggers. A Consistency Trigger is a cue tied to something you already do every day -- something automatic. When you link your One Big Thing-related action to a cue, you turn effort into habit and build momentum without relying on motivation alone. Why do triggers work? Your brain loves routines. By pairing your goal with an existing habit, you reduce resistance and decision fatigue. Over time, your brain starts to go on autopilot: "I just brushed my teeth -- now I journal." Here are some real-world examples of everyday consistency triggers: ☕️ After pouring my morning coffee, I spend 15 minutes writing. 💻 As soon as I close my laptop after work, I go for a 10-minute walk. 🛏 When I get into bed, I journal on my top win for the day. 🥪 Right after lunch, I review my progress tracker for 5 minutes. 🔌 When I plug in my phone to charge at night, I prep tomorrow’s top task. These seem simple, don't they? Do you already have a few triggers established that you haven't really thought about until now? If so, that's because we naturally establish these triggers associated with existing routines and habits. However, here are three steps to purposefully establishing consistency triggers for your One Big Thing. 1. Pick a Reliable Anchor Habit. Choose something you already do consistently (e.g., brushing teeth, eating lunch, finishing a meeting, feeding the dog, etc.). 2. Pair It with a Small, Specific Action Keep it short and goal-related. The easier the task, the easier it is to stick with. Example: "After I feed the dog, I write down one idea for my new book." 3. Repeat and Reinforce. Say it out loud, write it down, or set a reminder. Do it daily. Within a few weeks, your brain will start connecting the dots and doing it automatically. . Often, we don't even consider why we do things that occur automatically. We've established triggers for many things in our lives -- not all of them are positive or effective. However, this is something you can specifically control for the good in your life. What's one trigger you can set for yourself? What’s one routine in your day you could anchor your One Big Thing to? ….. Follow me if you enjoy discussing business and success daily.

Consistency, the steady rhythm of persistent effort, often outweighs the sporadic bursts of intense activity in the realm of work and achievement. While intensity can fuel short-term gains, it's the unwavering commitment to showing up day after day that truly propels us towards our long-term goals. Think of it as the tortoise and the hare tale—a classic reminder that slow and steady wins the race. In the workplace, consistency breeds reliability and trust, laying the foundation for sustainable success. When colleagues and clients know they can count on you to deliver consistent results, it builds credibility and fosters strong relationships. Moreover, consistency cultivates discipline, a fundamental trait of high achievers. It's about showing up even when motivation wanes, and pushing through resistance with unwavering determination. Think of it as honing a craft; each day's effort, no matter how small, contributes to the gradual mastery of skills and the refinement of expertise. In a world where instant gratification often tempts us to seek quick fixes, consistency reminds us of the timeless adage: "Rome wasn't built in a day." Furthermore, consistency fosters a growth mindset—an understanding that progress is a journey, not a destination. By embracing the process and committing to incremental improvements, we cultivate resilience and adaptability in the face of challenges. It's not about perfection, but rather the relentless pursuit of progress. So, while intensity may dazzle momentarily, it's consistency that illuminates the path to enduring success, one step at a time. Remember, greatness is not achieved overnight—it's the result of consistent, intentional effort over time. #ConsistencyWins #SteadyProgress #RelentlessPursuit

11 Daily Habits of High-Growth Professionals (and how to build them into your routine) I’ve never met a high-growth leader who “wings it.” They don’t just work hard, they work on purpose. Here’s what they do daily, and how you can make it stick: 1) Strategic silence → Starting your day in noise keeps your mind reactive, not creative. → Begin with 15 minutes of quiet, no phone, no input, just presence. 2) Intentional planning → Winging it leads to decision fatigue and scattered focus. → Set your top 3 priorities the night before. Clarity starts early. 3) Energy check-ins → Ignoring your energy leads to burnout masked as “grind.” → Ask: “What do I need right now to feel grounded or energized?” 4) Focused execution blocks → Constant context-switching kills deep work and real progress. → Use 60–90 minute blocks for focused work. One task. Full attention. 5) Micro-recovery → Skipping breaks makes your productivity feel like pushing through mud. → Step away every few hours. Move, hydrate, breathe—reset your system. 6) Clear boundaries → Being always available = always exhausted. → Define your “on” and “off” hours, and actually honor them. 7) Consistent movement → A stagnant body leads to a sluggish, unfocused mind. → Move daily, walk, stretch, lift, flow. Make it non-negotiable. 8) Content over consumption → Endless scrolling creates comparison and passivity. → Spend 10+ minutes a day making something: write, build, share. 9) Courageous conversations → Avoiding hard talks keeps you stuck in resentment and ambiguity. → Say the thing. Clean tension creates clean momentum. 10) Celebrating progress → Skipping wins leads to “never enough” syndrome. → End your day with one proud moment, even the small stuff counts. 11) Identity alignment → Acting from your past keeps you looped in old results. → Ask: “What would the future version of me do right now?” Then do it. High-growth isn’t about more hustle. It’s about intentional rhythm. Start with one. Stack the rest. Which one are you committing to this week? ♻️ Repost if you agree ➕ Follow Hava Maloku, DBA for more tips.

43% of our daily actions are performed out of habit : This means nearly half of what you do each day isn't from conscious decision-making but from established patterns. As leaders, this insight is both revealing and empowering. It means our leadership effectiveness isn't just about big strategic decisions— It's equally shaped by the small, consistent actions we take daily. The most successful leaders I've coached don't just focus on major initiatives. They intentionally design micro-habits that compound over time: - The manufacturing director who reads 10 pages of leadership material each morning before email - The senior manager who takes 5 minutes to prepare for each conversation rather than rushing between meetings - The team leader who ends each day by identifying one thing that went well and one opportunity for tomorrow These seemingly minor habits create exponential growth when maintained consistently. As James Clear writes in Atomic Habits, "Small habits don't add up—they compound." The question isn't whether habits are shaping your leadership—they absolutely are. The question is whether you're being intentional about which habits are driving your future. What small habit could you implement this week that would compound into significant leadership growth over time?

𝗠𝘆 𝗰𝗼-𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗿 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗿𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗻𝗱𝗲𝗱 𝗺𝗲 𝘄𝗵𝘆 𝗲𝘅𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝘀𝗲 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗼𝗽𝘁𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝗵𝗶𝗴𝗵 𝗽𝗲𝗿𝗳𝗼𝗿𝗺𝗲𝗿𝘀. Had lunch with John yesterday. His energy and productivity have been through the roof, so I asked for the secret. "My fitness is back on track." Context: Earlier this year, John set a misogi—complete the ‘Rim to Rim to Rim’ hike in the Grand Canyon (47 miles, 11,000+ feet of elevation change, lots of sunscreen). He absolutely crushed it. But then... nothing. No next challenge. No training goal. Just going through the motions at the gym. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘂𝗹𝘁? → Workouts felt pointless → Energy was flat → Mental clarity took a hit → Work felt harder than it should 𝗧𝗵𝗲𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗶𝘀 𝘄𝗲𝗲𝗸, 𝘀𝗼𝗺𝗲𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗰𝗹𝗶𝗰𝗸𝗲𝗱. John started training with intention again. He identified a new purpose and committed to showing up consistently. 𝗪𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗵𝗲 𝗻𝗼𝘁𝗶𝗰𝗲𝗱 𝗶𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗱𝗶𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗹𝘆: ✅ Sharper mental focus during meetings ✅ Easier task switching (huge for ADHD brains) ✅ Less resistance to working early mornings or late nights ✅ The workout itself became meditative—a mental reset 𝗛𝗲𝗿𝗲'𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝘂𝗻𝘁𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁𝘂𝗶𝘁𝗶𝘃𝗲 𝘁𝗿𝘂𝘁𝗵: When you're grinding to build something, it feels like you don't have time to work out. But those 45 minutes of focused movement? They don't steal time from your work. They multiply the quality of every hour. 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗹 𝗯𝗿𝗲𝗮𝗸𝘁𝗵𝗿𝗼𝘂𝗴𝗵 𝗶𝘀𝗻'𝘁 𝗽𝗵𝘆𝘀𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹—𝗶𝘁'𝘀 𝗰𝗵𝗲𝗺𝗶𝗰𝗮𝗹. Exercise rewires your brain for better decision-making, stress resilience, and sustained focus. The executives who understand this don't see fitness as a luxury. They see it as foundational infrastructure.

Good morning, everyone! Let's kick off this Monday with a thought that's been a game-changer for me. John Maxwell Team once said, “To change your life, choose something you do daily.” Each time I see this quote, I think about the daily choices that shape our lives. A while back, as I progressed through Brian Johnson’s Heroic program, I asked myself, “What’s the one thing I’m not doing that could significantly improve my life?” The answer was clear as day: exercise. This morning, as I emerged from my basement after a rejuvenating yoga session, my Apple watch chimed in with a reminder that I’ve hit 53 weeks of consistent workouts. Pretty cool! Time to remind myself, “That’s Like Me!” (Fist pump and all!) It’s funny; I never initially aimed to hit the road or roll out my yoga mat every week for a year, but here we are. It’s those small, daily efforts, like a 10-minute yoga flow, that compound into something truly transformative over time. Jerry Seinfeld once shared his secret to creativity: he’d write a single joke every day and mark it off on his calendar with a big red X. He wasn’t trying to script an entire show in one sitting; just one joke, one day at a time. It’s a brilliant reminder of the power of consistency. Seinfeld said he never wanted to break the streak. This is a good goal for us, too, especially considering what Tynan tells us in the book Superhuman By Habit; “Skipping 2 days is like habit suicide.” Note to self: Let’s not create habit suicide! 🤣 We’re all wired to seek victories, to change our behaviors in ways that make us feel good, not bad. So, what’s your next win? What’s that one thing you’re not doing now that, if you started today, would make a significant difference in your life? Let’s think small and aim for those tiny, manageable changes. BJ Fogg, PhD, in his insightful book "Tiny Habits," puts it perfectly: “People change best by feeling good, not by feeling bad… The essence of Tiny Habits is this: Take a behavior you want and make it tiny, find where it fits naturally in your life, and nurture its growth. If you want to create long-term change, it’s best to start small.” So, as we dive into this new week, I encourage you to reflect on those small steps you can take towards a better you. Remember, it’s the little things, done consistently, that lead to big changes. What tiny habit will you start today? Let’s make this journey together, one small step at a time.
