Well, here’s the deal: consistency is key. In a world where quick fixes and instant gratification seem like the ultimate goal, sticking with something can seem almost old-fashioned, but trust me—it’s the backbone of success. Whether it’s working towards health goals, developing solid routines, or building wealth through property, consistency is what drives change.
When I was asked by my gym coach recently about my results, I realised it wasn’t about any extreme changes but the commitment to showing up, eating right, and sticking with the plan. Like so many areas of life, property and renovation are ‘long games‘ that demand focus, patience, and—yes—consistency. Whether you’re after a fitter body or learning to spot under market value properties, you won’t see real change without the grind.
Consistency: The Missing Ingredient in Most Goals
You’ve heard it all before, right? Whether you’re looking to get healthier, improve your finances, or break into the property game, everyone loves the idea of a quick fix. But the truth is, consistency is key. To get real results, it’s not about going full steam ahead for one day and collapsing the next. It’s about building up habits, day by day, even when you’d rather do anything else.
Over the last month, I’ve stuck to logging my meals, hitting my steps, and not giving up on my workouts, even on the days when motivation was nowhere to be found. And guess what? It’s paying off! It’s amazing how many areas of life benefit from consistency, and yet so many people skip this step.
In my world, I meet people all the time who are diving into property renovation, dreaming of landing those under market value properties that everyone seems to talk about. But here’s what separates the dreamers from the doers: it’s the ability to consistently put in the work. No shortcuts. Just repeated, focused effort.
Building Habits in Health and Wealth
Take my own journey in fitness as an example. I’d fallen off my usual health routine, making excuses that my favourite gym was too far or that I was too busy. It was classic procrastination at its finest, and honestly, it was pissing me off. When I finally decided enough was enough, I stopped making excuses, hired an online coach, and found a gym nearby that I could actually stick to. In six weeks, I was down 5 kg, feeling better, sleeping better, and sharper mentally.
The trick? Consistency. Not just random workouts here and there, but regular 10,000-step days, gym sessions three times a week, and keeping an eye on my nutrition. It’s been manageable, sustainable, and (believe it or not) even enjoyable! And a nice bonus—both my dogs have lost weight too because they’re now getting those regular walks. My consistency paid off for them as well!
It’s the same in property. If you want to build wealth, it’s not about hitting it big with one flashy deal. Instead, it’s about spotting under market value properties, learning the ins and outs, and being ready to act. By keeping an eye on property listings, networking, and showing up consistently, you’ll start to see deals that others miss.
How Consistency Drives Success in Property
In the property game, consistency is everything. I recently spoke with a good mate of mine, a mortgage broker with a bit of a renovation addiction. He shared how he manages to find under market value properties in Perth’s hot market, and it was music to my ears. How does he do it? Simple—he’s consistent. He scours online listings every day, networking and talking to people in the field. He doesn’t stop after a week or two or after one bad lead; he shows up, day in and day out.
This dedication doesn’t just keep him in the loop; it helps him snag deals most people never even see. When others might throw in the towel after a month, he’s still on the hunt, building connections, staying informed, and reaping the rewards of his work. And that’s exactly how I tell my clients to approach property: be prepared to keep showing up. Even if you’re doing something like a leaflet drop, don’t just drop 1,000 and call it a day. Property is a numbers game and a long game. Drop 1,000 this week, 1,000 next week, and the week after that too.
Consistency is Key to Finding Under Market Value Properties
So many people come into the property scene looking for a silver bullet. They think finding under market value properties will be simple if they just take one course or attend one seminar. But the reality is, these deals are only there for those who keep at it. You won’t find under market value properties by browsing casually or showing up every now and then. You’ve got to be committed.
Finding those hidden gems means doing the research, following up, and keeping your eyes open for opportunities that others might overlook. And let’s be honest, in the fast-moving property world, if you don’t stay consistent, someone else will scoop up the deals right under your nose. It’s not about luck; it’s about showing up every day, doing the homework, and being ready to jump on opportunities when they appear.
The Reality Check: Consistency Isn’t Glamorous, but it Works
There are days when I’d rather skip the gym, ignore my meal plan, or stay in bed instead of checking property listings. Some days feel shitty, and motivation doesn’t always cooperate. But here’s the thing: even on those tough days, I show up. When I hear people say they’re waiting for the ‘right time’ to start their goals, I know they’re making the same mistake I did for so long—excusing themselves out of real progress.
If you’re serious about finding success, whether in fitness, business, or property, you can’t just dabble. You’ve got to go all in. There will be days when the spark isn’t there, but consistency is key. You’ll still find me at the gym, logging my food, and checking on those property deals, because I know that skipping out today means skipping out on the results tomorrow.
Getting Real: Do You Have Consistency in Your Property Goals?
Let’s bring this back to you. Where could consistency make the biggest difference in your life? Think about those goals you’ve been “meaning” to get to. Perhaps it’s finding those under market value properties or maybe finally diving into a property renovation project. Maybe it’s even a personal goal, like fitness or finance. If you’re not seeing results, the honest truth might be that you’re just not being consistent enough.
So, get real with yourself. Ask: are you putting in the work day in and day out? Are you pushing through, even when it’s tough? Because if you’re not, then the outcome you want is just a dream you’ll keep putting off. Think of it this way: if I had given up every time it got tough, I wouldn’t be 5 kg lighter, healthier, or feeling as sharp as I do now.
A Simple Plan to Build Consistency
Here’s my advice for anyone struggling with consistency—create a routine you can realistically maintain. Start small if you need to, but start now. Whether it’s walking a certain distance each day, dedicating time each week to property research, or building new habits to keep you healthy, start putting in the effort.
Building a routine around what matters most to you will pay off big time. If you’re interested in property, start by looking at listings, talking to people, and educating yourself on market trends. The same goes for health, career, or any other area of your life. Don’t just commit to big bursts of action; make sure it’s sustainable, something you can and will keep doing.
Let’s Wrap This Up: Consistency Really is Key
To everyone reading this, remember: consistency is key. Show up, put in the work, and stay focused on what matters most. That’s how you achieve anything, whether it’s finding under market value properties or reaching personal goals. I’m living proof that small, consistent actions add up, and I know you can be too.
So, think about where you need to be more consistent. Drop the excuses and keep moving forward, even on the days when it feels like a slog. Remember, every step counts, every effort compounds, and if you just keep at it, success is inevitable. Now, get out there, make a plan, and start today.
