No BS.___________Do you ever look at other creators and wonder how they manage to show up so consistently—week after week, month after month—without burning out?In this solo episode, I pull back the curtain on what consistency really looks like behind the scenes. Spoiler alert: it’s not about having more time, support, or willpower—it’s about building a system that works for you. And yes, that includes micro-consistency, a little accountability, and dropping perfectionism at the door.This episode is an honest look at what it takes to stay consistent in your business—especially when you're running things solo (hi, same here 👋) and trying to juggle marketing, content, and, you know… real life.In this episode, you’ll learn why you are already consistent (you just don’t give yourself credit for it), what brushing your teeth and sending a weekly newsletter have in common, why accountability (public or private) can be the secret sauce behind your momentum, and much more.Takeaways:You can be consistent by creating systems that work for you.Identify your non-negotiable habits to build new ones.Eliminate resistance by stacking new habits with existing ones.Micro-consistency can still lead to significant progress.Understanding your 'why' is crucial for maintaining consistency.Accountability can be a powerful motivator for consistency.Resources mentioned:My solo episode on perfectionism (Apple Podcasts, Spotify)Jay Clouse's essay on consistency___________Let's connect on LinkedIn:⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠https://www.linkedin.com/in/anjalordanic/⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠⁠Thank you and see you next week!
