To be consistent in the things we do has many great advantages and people who consciously practice being consistent, know it! So, if we’re serious about change in any area of our life, we need to be constantly and regularly performing good habits. By doing that, we’ll find whatever we’re looking to achieve will take off to a higher level. Of course, being consistent isn’t easy because we naturally tend to come up with all kinds of excuses, especially if the consistent action we need to take is very uncomfortable to do. Another killer of consistency is distractions. We become distracted by losing focus of our long-term goals because we tend to live for short term results. When we don’t see results right away, we give up on being consistent. We have to look at consistency as small steps of improvement for an extended period of time that will lead us to big results. It’s the most well-known mindset of successful individuals. That’s the power of being consistent!
How are You Being Consistent with Your Money
Consistency plays such a huge role when it comes to achieving any type of success. So, I’m sure you can imagine that consistency is a key factor in the area of your finances too. Your money habits are formed based on how you constantly handle your money, from saving to spending. As simple as that sounds, you might not have considered how consistency affects different parts of your life.
As with any habits, money habits can also be good or bad, so in order for you to achieve financial freedom you obviously need to be consistent with good money habits. Good money habits don’t just have to do with saving money, it also has to do with how you spend your money. Let’s face it if you’re not consistently saving money, then it’s obvious that you’re consistently spending it.
“Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements gained slowly over time.” – John C. Maxwell
It’s the consistency you have with both of those things that will determine your financial success. Being consistent in saving money is obvious, because you know consistently putting a certain amount of money aside for retirement, emergencies, vacation, etc. is a good habit. You can also be consistent with not saving money, making it a bad habit.
How you consistently spend your money is just as important and often times overlooked. Are you consistently frugal or consistently careless with your spending? You need to make sure you’re building good overall money habits and use the power of consistency to get there. The longer you practice consistency, the more automatic it becomes. That’s what’s great about being consistent!
