becoming a "daily" person

3x a week isn't really who you are.
becoming a "daily" person

Back in February, I started a business (OrbitSling). I hard launched it around that time at least. Did some upskilling + soft launching before that. I digress.

It's now going well. Not making me millions (yet), but it's already a full time salary and there's a lot of growth opportunity.

I've started businesses before, what is different this time?

Well, this time I've learned a few things from other times. Live and learn, right?

Consistency is key

yeah, heard that before

The difference this time in my approach is that I do everything on a DAILY basis.

Outreach? Daily action, usually 1-2 hours on LinkedIn, Cold Email, UpWork.

Client Updates: short projects, daily. Ongoing retainers, 2-3 times per week.

Daily actions are getting me where I want to go. It's frustratingly simple.

For so long I saw others with businesses and envied them. I had more tech skills, why wasn't I able to crack the 5-digit months and beyond?

I've since realized their consistency is what drove that.

Consistency enables "input hacking"

stay with me

What is input hacking? Why does consistency enable it?

Well, if you're wondering, "input hacking" is a process I now use to take the desired output, reverse-engineer the inputs, and then focus my time on those inputs.

Here:

🤯
example: I want 1 new client that pays me $1,500 monthly. I know it takes 4 sales calls for me to get one. I know it takes ~50 cold emails with a Loom video to get 4 sales calls. So every day I do 10 cold emails with a Loom Video.

That's just an example. But this process helps me deconstruct business outcomes and turn things into a numbers game.

Then every day I show up and put the numbers in.

Of course, there's more nuance within all of this but I've found throughout life that getting lost in the minituae doesn't get you anywhere.

I recommend becoming a daily person in lots of areas of life.

  • business
  • gym
  • language learning
  • etc.

All of these lead to consistent, 1% improvements. We're all looking for the get rich quick stuff.

It doesn't exist in the sense that it's easy.

It does exist in that if you're consistent every day over a period of time there's not much limit to what you can achieve.

Try becoming a daily person.
