3 Things You Should Look at First Before You Worry About Consistency

Creators often focus on the wrong things at the beginning

“How can I become more consistent?”

A thing creators often ask me.

But, it’s the wrong question to ask.

Here’s why.

Consistency is often seen as the holy grail of success for creators. It’s simply not the thing you start with at the beginning of your creator’s journey. Being consistent isn’t the goal you should pursue. It’s a byproduct of doing the right thing and putting in the work.

The best part?

Nobody is born with consistency. Every beginner once lacked it.

It’s not really rocket science how they overcame it: simply starting.

Here are 3 things you need to know before you even worry about being consistent as a creator:

Yes, everything starts with why. So does your journey towards consistency. Knowing why you want to become a creator is essential. Without having this clear, you will fail.

For example, if I get dropped off high in the mountains of Costa Rica or in the middle of Times Square, my vision remains the same. Yet, the next steps change, as the outcome may look totally different. But my core vision stays consistent. And, so should your approach to vision as well.

It’s your North Star.

So, knowing that, here’s my why that might inspire you:
