Hello everyone, and I am here with a sort of a mini episode. I want to start doing a few more of these

and I'm kind of in my mind, I'm calling them sort of essential concepts or essential skills.

Things that come up on the show over and over again, things that I work with coaching clients on over and over again that I'd like to

talk about a little bit more explicitly than them being weaved into the episodes.

I want to make them a little bit more explicit. But before I jump into that,

if you're interested in learning more about the coaching program and working one on one with me,

you can go to ericzimmer.coachslashapplication.

Fill out just a very short form that tells me a little bit more about what you're looking for so I can come to our call prepared.

And I'll tell you about the coaching program. I'll tell you whether I think I can help you.

I will give you some piece of valuable information, even if we decide that working with me is not a good idea.

And I promise I won't try and sell you on why you have to do the coaching program.

If it's a good fit for both of us, we'll explore moving forward. If it's not, you'll get something valuable.

So ericzimmer.coachslashapplication.

Okay, so the concept I would like to start with today is consistency.

So we often talk on the show about taking small steps, you know, one step after another.

And I'll do another episode on why small steps works and why it's so effective as a way to get started.

But today I want to talk about the idea of consistency.

And I want to talk about the idea of compound interest, so to speak on the habits and the things that we do.

We tend to see success as an event.

And we hear about somebody else as having done something.

And we see it as this event versus this series of small steps that are taken day after day,

or series of choice points that are made over and over.
