Drip, drip, drip...

While my husband has been watching Sunday night football, I've been surfing the web, feeding my brain. OK, I didn't mean that to sound like watch football is not brain food - it's certainly entertainment - it just doesn't hold my attention 100% of the time.

In any event, I stumbled across an interesting blog entry by Seth Godin, who by the way is fast becoming one of my favorite authors! He writes:

I discovered a lucky secret the hard way about thirty years ago: you can outlast the other guys if you try. If you stick at stuff that bores them, it accrues. Drip, drip, drip you win.

It still takes ten years to become a success, web or no web.

This message has been consistently in my face over the past year or so. I've heard it at my job with Keller Williams Realty. As the market has shifted, training in our market center has also shifted. Back to basics. Lead generate. Consistently. Those who stay in the game and do the basics, over and over, remaining in activity, will only increase their own market share in the long run. Drip, drip, drip...

I've heard it at my team training for my network marketing business. Desire to succeed = Action, ie. Activity = Momentum. Over and over again, you have to consistently re-qualify yourself monthly. Drip, drip, drip...

Do you see the same theme here that I do?

Activity...consistent activity is KEY! In any venture. You must do the boring, over and over again. For me the challenge there is to GET OVER the activity being boring and Just Do It! It's truly the only path to success!

I'm off to work on my calendar of BORING (read success) activities for the week! I hope you do yours as well!

OH - Have you read SHIFT How Top Real Estate Agents Tackle Tough Times by Gary Keller - read it and get back to basics with the rest of us!
