Consistency as a Rule and why it matters.

December 12, 2024

Consistency is the key to long-term success. Whether you’re building a business, honing a skill, or growing as a trader, it’s not about considerable, occasional efforts—it’s about steady, intentional actions over time.

Train yourself to remain consistent by being consistent in every task or objective.

Here are four critical areas where consistency matters:

1. Consistency in Social Media Engagement

Posting regularly on platforms like X or YouTube builds visibility, trust, and authority. Algorithms favour frequent posters, while consistent quality content keeps your audience engaged. Use tools to plan and schedule posts to maintain a reliable online presence.

Spikes on YouTube as a result of posting. Gaps show a fall in views, and should post consistent growth would be consistent.

X analytics, after being consistent over time, have gained new posts and followers.

2. Consistency in Email Writing

A weekly or bi-weekly email packed with value fosters trust and builds relationships. Regular communication keeps you top-of-mind with your audience, driving engagement and conversions. Focus on providing insights and actionable advice rather than constant promotion.

3 Emails are being sent out over time to an audience. Keeping them informed on how the week goes, what’s working, and if there are any offers in the ecosystem.

3. Consistency in Networking

Building relationships takes time and persistence. Stay in touch with contacts, follow up after meetings, and nurture connections regularly. Consistent networking keeps you visible and ensures you’re ready when opportunities arise. Remember, “Your money is out there,” and each relationship can open doors.

4. Consistency in Trading Discipline

Successful trading depends on sticking to your strategy, managing risk, and controlling emotions. Consistency helps you avoid impulsive decisions and builds the foundation for sustainable growth. Use a trading plan and journal to track your progress and maintain focus. Lets go through our 100K FunderPro Account example.

All rules were passed on the 100K FunderPro challenge, apart from the 45% needed for consistency.

In the example of the 100K account where I am over the 45% needed to pass the challenge there is a need to generate more profit to hit a new target. As you can see from the screenshot above I am not passing the challenge based on the consistency rule (read full article here).

I over traded and reached a daily profit of $3805 in one day and this is past the 45% rule which says no more than $3600 can be achieved. This is fine and its accepted that I need to prove my self to be consistent in order to get the real funds live account one I pass. So far I have generated $8885 which is more then the necessary $8,000 needed to pass and now I need to generate more profit for the rate to go from ~50% to 45%. I need to post more profit that shows I can achieve high profitable days to meet the challenge needs.

Being consistent in one area strengthens discipline and habits in others. It creates momentum that leads to exponential growth over time. Whether it’s social media, networking, or trading, success doesn’t come from sporadic efforts—it’s the result of showing up every day and doing the work.

Start small, stay disciplined, and let consistency transform your goals into achievements. Remember, success is built on what you do consistently, not occasionally. Keep at it, and results will follow.
