Try not to break your stride.

Consistency is the key to growth.

We have all seen the people who are doing well over a long period of time. They find a niche and settle in nicely to it. From there they can thrive and expand beyond that niche using the brand that they have built up.

all of thse things take time and if it takes 1000 hours to perfect a skill then the fastest way to master it is to put in those hours every single day.

If you put in ten hours a day towards mastering that skill it will take 100 days.
If you put in 2 hours a day it will take 500 days.
If you only put in a few minutes sporadically then it could take years to reach the same point as the first two examples.

The biggest issues is when you do reach this point to think of how far ahead of you the person will be that mastered the skill in just 100 days.

They will have had years of work put in at that stage and possibly mastered dozens more skills over those who didn't put in the time. That's just the reality of life and when people complain that they are not succeeding it usually comes back to effort and consistency over time.

It's hard to get back in the game.

Success breeds more success. I find that when I have that consistency and can see the results of it that everything gets easier.

It's been a busy couple of weeks with getting back to work and having a family holiday over the weekend. Lots of events and plans popping up in a short space of time.

It really breaks the momentum and I find it very hard to pick it back up. The weeks before this i had posts rolling out every week and commenting across the chain. It was fun and easy.

Today is the first time that i've been able to sit down with the laptop and it's painful to get the words out onto the screen. To get those thought processes moving again and to focus on the work.

Momentum is hard to achieve but easy to lose. It goes hand in hand with consistency and when things are going well it gets easier and faster to succeed.

It wont happen by itself though so even when you lose momentum the only thing to do it start again and try to build it up again to reach a consistent level and keep going from there.
