Note: I’ve never posted a “theme of the month” before, and may never do so again.

I always remember my sales trainers and coaches telling me that the key to success is consistent action. Pick an action plan, and execute it consistently over time. So they said. These past few months, I’ve really begun to doubt the wisdom of this. I have noticed that it’s easy to get consistently crappy results, or a consistent lack of results whatsoever. But on the few occasions when I felt like I’d hit a homerun, it didn’t happen as a result of anything I’d done consistently.

I’ve decided to start acting like consistency doesn’t matter. Actually, come to think of it, I’ve always been acting that way. Granted, there are some things we can’t avoid doing consistently (breathing, etc.) But it’s the inconsistent spikes of unpredictable fun that make life juicy, as far as I’m concerned. Besides, with my self-diagnosed ADHD – look at that bird! – consistency is pretty boring.

I’ll be putting out my first newsletter issue soon. I may be publishing my newsletters at highly irregular intervals. We’ll see.
