“An overnight success is ten years in the making.”

Quote

There are no quick hacks that bring faster results.Every incredibly successful person you know today has been through the boring, mundane, time-tested process that eventually brings success.&nbsp;

There are no “overnight successes”

“The thing is, incremental daily progress (negative or positive) is what actually causes transformation. A figurative drip, drip, drip. Showing up, every single day, gaining in strength, organizing for the long haul, building connection, laying track — this subtle but difficult work is how culture changes.”

Many people underestimate the power of incremental progress. They think they have to take massive action to achieve anything significant.Radical change doesn’t stick. Lasting progress is incremental.

Lasting progress

Small, Smart Choices + Consistency + Time = RADICAL DIFFERENCE

Small things add up

“Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals.”

Consistency and a series of purposeful actions will transform the way you work and hone in your chosen craft.
Instead of focusing on the outcome, concentrate on your small actions. Narrow your focus to a few minutes or hours of work on your goal, rather than looking at the goal as one big step or achievement.

Be consistent

There are no "overnight successes". Think of all the great people you truly admire. They didn't succeed because of one giant move, but rather a series of small and consistent actions over time.
Every incredibly successful person you know today has been through the boring, mundane, time-tested process that eventually brings success. So, stop looking for "quick hacks" that bring faster results.
Your 10x output is hidden in your small consistent actions! Coordinated, accelerating work makes the most impact.

Radical change doesn't stick.
In " <a href="http://amzn.to/2t6X1MJ">The Compound Effect: Jumpstart Your Income, Your Life, Your Success</a>," author Darren Hardy writes, "It's not the big things that add up in the end; it's the hundreds, thousands, or millions of little things that separate the ordinary from the extraordinary."

In order to get what you want, you have to choose one direction and move towards it, constantly improving over a prolonged period of time.
Jim Rohn said "Success is neither magical nor mysterious. Success is the natural consequence of consistently applying basic fundamentals."
Defining your direction as early as possible is the most important decision in sport, and everybody knows it. But, curiously enough, this is also the most important decision in life in general, but much fewer people realize it.
Robert Collier once said, "Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out." Consistency and a series of purposeful actions will transform the way you work and hone in your chosen craft.
Be consistent. Be relentless.
Instead of focusing on the outcome, concentrate on your small actions.
Narrows your focus to a few minutes or hours of work on your goal, rather than looking at the goal as one big step or achievement.
You can easily write a 50,000-word book in 100 days if you focus on one 500-word piece at a time. Big goals require momentum. By starting with small, but challenging, action-oriented goals, you spark sustainable momentum.
<blockquote>Sometimes the progress appears nearly invisible, but small, daily investments are the way to produce big changes. </blockquote>
"I'm convinced you can do almost anything if you are willing to clarify your goals and then make the incremental investment over time to achieve them," says Michael Hyatt.
Whatever you intend to do in the next few months, prioritize your incremental actions.
Don't wait for a big breakthrough. Choose the "incremental progress" path.
The simplest strategy to achieve larger success is to break down the end goal into management and attainable milestones. Something you can act on daily.
Measurable, sustainable progress over time should be your aim. And when you embrace it, record your progress. Keeping score helps you identify action trends and see what's working and what's not.
Regardless of your goal, narrowing down your focus to small manageable tasks that can be done daily is the secret weapon to achievement.
