What makes someone the greatest? The answer is simple: being great when it counts.

There are many people who are great at what they do. What sets one apart from all the other great people in their category is their ability to produce when their odds for success are reduced.

I worship at the altar of consistency and what I find with people deemed to be the greatest is their demonstrated consistency. You can count on them being consistently great.

Yes, it goes without saying that even the greatest have an off day and don’t display the consistency that makes them the best. But it’s the rare exception rather than the rule.

So, if you aspire to be great at what you do and want people to know they can count on you, go to work on your consistency. Make it your greatest asset.

All the best,

John
