How To Take Action
I would suggest implementing a daily practice routine in whatever skill or area you're looking to excel in. Even if you're not great at it initially, showing up every day for 100 days will set you apart. This doesn't need to take a lot of time each day—you might dedicate as little as 15-30 minutes. The key is consistency.
A good way of doing this is to embrace challenges and see them as tests to build your resilience. Whenever you hit a rough patch, remind yourself that this is the time to push through. This mindset shift will help you stick with it when others give up.
I'd recommend tracking your progress. Keep a simple diary or checklist to mark each day you put in the effort. This makes it easier to stay accountable and see how far you've come over time, reinforcing your commitment.
Remember, the bar for excellence is lower than you might think. Most people give up too soon. Just by being persistent and showing up consistently, you can easily surpass those who would otherwise be your competition. This approach requires minimal financial investment but maximizes personal and professional growth.
Lastly, take note of what feels particularly difficult and consider it an opportunity for growth. Every discomfort faced is a building block for your resilience and success.
