3 Steps To Become a Successful Online Creator— It’s Not What You Think…

There Are More Important Things You Must Do That Not Many People Talk About…

I’m sure you might think I’m going to talk about consistency, showing up every day, and going after your dreams head on. That’s what you read everywhere, what most gurus tell you and want you to believe.

Maybe it’s true, however, I want to challenge your thinking today because you cannot, I repeat, you cannot become consistent unless you do these first!

That’s why most people fail to achieve what they want because they think consistency will lead them there. Nope. It won’t. Not until you figure this out first.

I think consistency is overrated and misleading because it skips the more important steps you must understand before you can even become consistent.

You cannot become consistent without these underlying first steps.

Many people want to skip steps for faster growth, only to find themselves giving up too soon or burning out and doubting their progress.

Success involves a much deeper understanding of yourself and your mission.

So, what do you think these 3 things are?

I’ve been coaching hundreds of souls online since 2019, and what I’ve discovered is that these three initial steps must be taken before you can achieve consistency:

Clarity:

Firstly, you must become clear about what you want. Chasing numbers or simply following someone because they say it works for them, you’ll lose yourself in the progress.

What do you “really” want? What does success feel, sound, and look like to you? Do you know what you’ll do each day as a successful person?

For example, I was working 2 jobs and felt exhausted each day. I wrote that I want to be able to work for myself, create my own hours, be there for my children, and do what I love being surrounded by amazing souls with similar journeys while earning enough to support all our needs.

Without clear intention and why, you’re going to fail to be consistent.

Your motivation will run out, you burn yourself out, and you’ll eventually give up on your goals.

A clear and strong why will lead you to become consistent.

Commitment:

Next, you must be committed to reaching your goals. Without commitment, you’ll fail every single time.

What are you willing to commit to reach your desired success? What habits are you going to keep, let go of, and learn? How will these habits serve you in the long run (not just today)? Did you schedule in self-care time in that process?

For example, at the time, I committed 2 hours a day to study online opportunities, and find a way to teach people online in a way that was beneficial for me, my children, and my clients. I made sure I took care of my mind, soul, and body before beginning to serve anyone.

Most people make the mistake of consistency as a “I must do everything today.” That’s not going to work in the long run.

Create a plan you’re committed to, without stress, frustration, and burnout.

Courage:

Without courageous action and taking risks, you’ll fail to be consistent. You must deal with your emotions, your thoughts, and feelings. Let go of anything that doesn’t support your goals.

What are your new empowering beliefs you want to imprint in your mind? What will you do when others doubt your success? What beliefs must you completely let go of? How will you deal with your negative emotions?

For example, in my first webinar in 2019, I had 30 people registered, and only one person showed up. I went on to create an amazing recording and shared it with the world afterward. Had I not taken care of my doubts, uncertainties, and fears, and dared to present to one person, this would have been a devastating experience.

Being consistent means you’re committed to your goals. Being consistent means you’ve created a “sustainable” plan to achieve your goals.

Final Thoughts:

Once you have these 3 covered, then you can aim to become consistent toward what you truly want.

Imagine someone tells you to do X to create a $5000 income. Then you do that for 3 months, nothing happens, and without a clear mission, understanding your commitment, and having the courage to face these challenges, you guessed it, you’ll give up, or worse, you’ll see another shiny object thinking that’s going to save you.

Please be mindful of what you put in your mind. That’s what is creating your reality.

You are the boss, you’re the main character, you’re the leader of your life movie. You say what happens today.

Consistency cannot be done without pause. Consistency cannot be done without purpose. Consistency cannot be done without patience.

Stop focusing on simply becoming consistent and start focusing on what you truly want. Have a clear picture in your mind, commit to your results, and have the courage to face the success line.

“Success consists of going from failure to failure without loss of enthusiasm.” — Winston Churchill
