How To Stay Consistent Even When It Gets Difficult | Jordan Welch

0:01 what's up guys it's your boy Jordan back with another video I came outside today it is beautiful outside it's probably like 70 degrees or maybe even a little warmer than that but you see the Sun the nice trees everything is good today today's a good day but somebody had commented on a post of mine a while back and they asked me if I can make a video about how to stay consistent and at first I thought about that and I didn't really want to get into that topic because it's something that I don't even think that I've truly mastered but then I started to look back and look at what I've accomplished so far in my life and I realized that to get where I'm at at the moment I needed to be consistent in one way or another so it really got me

0:48 thinking I was actually about to walk over towards all those cars but I'm not gonna do that that's gonna be really loud for you guys but yeah like I said it really got me thinking because for me to get where I am at I had to be consistent and I had a six of the things that I was doing every single day but it doesn't necessarily seem that way when you're doing those things day in day out you don't look at it that way but I look back and I realized that there are certain things that I know that I can share with you guys to help you be more consistent even when you're failing so the first thing is figuring out what it is that you're doing all this for figuring it out why you're trying to be successful why you're trying to figure it all out what your ultimate goal is besides saying I want to make five

1:33 hundred hours a day on Shopify or besides saying I want to get a thousand subscribers on YouTube what's the bigger goal do you want to if you're an adult do you want to have more money to take care of your kids do you want to have more free time to spend with your wife do you want to have more time to spend with your family what is your long-term ultimate goal what is the main reason that you became an entrepreneur in your first place and I really think it's crucial to dial in and nail that aspect before anything else and you should definitely keep working even if you haven't figured that aspect out but as you continue working every single day that should be something that's on the front of your mind because without that

2:19 work can become very unfulfilled in a short period of time and I experienced this personally when I was first starting my Shopify business and this is the same story with any of my other businesses that I've started there's that initial spark in you and this this can even apply to the gym or this can really apply to anything new in your life there's always that initial spark like you you get the little butterflies you get the jitters like you're excited to go into that thing and then as you start to work on that thing for a little while and as you started to keep going going going going going eventually it will get to a point where it's not as exciting as it once was it's not as fresh it's not as new it's just the daily routine and what happens then is

3:06 that it might become a little unfulfilled so then you have to kind of go through this internal battle as oh should I keep doing this or why am I doing this or this isn't really rewarding this doesn't feel that good and that's how you see it but for you to keep pushing through it's important for you to understand why you started in the first place what was your motivation in the first place for even going down that path so I think first and foremost that's the biggest thing when it comes to staying consistent and continuing to work even when you don't want to or even when it doesn't feel like what you should be doing that day you need to really understand what's the bigger goal I don't want to say the end goal because entrepreneurship I feel is an extremely

3:53 long journey and if you're doing it right it really never ends because you can start a bunch of ventures you can do things for a non-profit you can do all kind of stuff so I'm gonna say the the bigger goal here but it's crucial for you to know that the second thing that you can do to stay more consistent and I've shared this before but I really think it's huge you need to figure out what it is that you do each day that produces you success and produces you results so for me when we're talking about shop fine we're talking about my online business that I have for me it is finding products launching products and testing those products there's a lot of other things that I do throughout the day don't get me wrong but the thing that makes the most money

4:38 for my business is that in particular so it's up to me to know that and optimize the systems to do that in the most effective way possible a lot of people may understand that briefly and look at all these flowers looks awesome but um a lot of people may understand that briefly but they don't necessarily like dial it in and this advice is general it doesn't apply it just the Shopify you need to figure out what it is in your business so let's say you have a home service business or you're a plumber or something in your case it may be going out cold calling getting new clients whatever that's where a lot of your focus should be and every single day you should say okay I'm gonna do one thing in that category to get me a step closer so for me I launched a product every

5:23 single day and that's kind of how we keep the ball rolling there so these mindset videos I like making them because it's something that I'm still trying to juggle and when I get it out of my mind and actually start talking about it it makes a lot more sense and things started to click for me so when it comes to staying consistent like I said I think the two most important things are first understanding why you started in the first place what your bigger goal is the main reason why you're doing what you're doing and second understanding what it is that you do that produces you success there's people behind me sorry for talking but uh yeah that's really the most important things when you're talking about being consistent and getting results in your business I hope this video provided you
