Motivational Monday – Consistency Leads to Great Achievements

Small disciplines repeated with consistency everyday lead to great achievements gained slowly over time – John Maxwell

What are you doing today? It’s Monday, you should have your entire week already planned. You should know when you are going to be calling other self-storage owners. You should know when you are following up with potential partners. You should have your marketing scheduled for this week. If you aren’t consistent, then you are less likely to be successful.

If you go to the gym every other day for 30 minutes for 1 month, you are going to start to see some great results physically. Your muscles will start getting stronger, you will have more energy and the things that you are doing at the gym will get easier. If you keep going for 3-6 months, those results will improve dramatically.

If you go for 30 minutes, every other day for 30 days that is roughly 7.5 hours. So, let’s say instead that you took one day, and you went to gym, and you worked out for 7.5 hours. It is the same amount of time; will you get the same results? No, you will be incredibly sore, overly fatigued, and probably unwilling to go back to the gym anytime soon.

The same is true with your business. You can start out strong, spend an entire day marketing, and networking, meeting with power team members and making offers. However, if you don’t do anything for the next 30 days, you are not going to get positive results. On the other hand, if you were to spend a few hours a day working on your investing tasks, then you are going to start to see results. In addition, those tasks are going to get easier and easier each time that you do them. Cold calling self-storage owners won’t be as intimidating. You will start to get better at knowing what to say and what to ask potential Realtors, Lenders and Title companies.

Self-storage is a great business to be in. If you only have 30 minutes a day to devote to building your business, then start with that. You will find that the more you take the time to invest in your business, the more time you will find to be able to invest, until you are spending a few hours a day. Don’t just take one day a month to spend on your business. Find the time to devote a little to your business each day so that you will get the results you deserve. As always, happy investing.
