Hey there, and welcome to Wake Me Up.

I'm Tyler, your host, as always.

And I'm so glad to have you here with me.

People are always wondering about the secret to success, but there isn't a secret. It's well known that hard

work towards a goal consistently for a long time is how it happens.

Most people don't see the success they dream of because they can't sustain long enough.

They can't push through. They fall off because things get

boring or they burn out. What separates those at the top is their stick

toitiveness. The road to success is paved with many

unexciting stretches of time and uncompelling tasks. Those who succeed learn to master the mundane and that's what we'll talk about today.

But before we dive in, just pause for one moment.

And visualize yourself accomplishing a goal,

any goal, anything you'd like to do in life.

You can even close your eyes if you find it helpful.

See yourself there, there, reaching that pinnacle moment.

And fill in all of the details, where you are.

Who else is there?

What all is happening?

And what it feels like. And then consider all of the steps you'd need to take to get there.

Perhaps you're nearing completion of this goal already, or maybe you've only just begun.
