Reminds me of a quote from the Projection Lab success story that got posted a few weeks ago: https://projectionlab.com/blog/we-reached-1m-arr-with-zero-f...
> But luckily, success indexes less on IQ and more on consistency. The willingness to doggedly show up every single day can take you to some really suprising and amazing places.
The only issue I have with that quote is the word “willingness” - it makes it sound like a choice. I think if your brain likes it you’ll turn up every day and it’ll never be hard, if you don’t like it it’s almost always unsustainable in the long run, and we overestimate how much choice we have in this.
"Eighty percent of success is showing up." attributed to Woody Allen.
