Some coaches sprint, then vanish. We explore why that pattern backfires and how steady, repeatable habits turn you into a coach people can count on. The conversation zeroes in on consistency as a growth engine—how it compounds, why it builds confidence, and the subtle ways clients and loved ones feel your reliability long before you post a win.

We lay out three pillars to anchor your practice: keep showing up after the initial excitement fades, build trust and mastery through repetition, and become the person who honors commitments especially when it’s hard. You’ll hear how consistent action shifts your energy from chasing to attracting, and why credibility is forged on the days you least feel like doing the work. Instead of trying everything, we guide you to choose a few high‑leverage actions, track them with simple prompts—what went well, what will I do differently, what’s the lesson—and keep taking small steps forward.

You’ll also get a candid transformation story: a 100‑pound weight loss that didn’t happen in a burst of motivation, but through daily, deliberate choices that evolved from effort to habit to identity. As those habits locked in, the operating system changed. That’s the promise of consistency for coaches and clients alike: reliable behavior that compounds into momentum, trust, and outcomes you can actually sustain. We close by teasing a speed hack in lesson nine to automate these practices so consistency becomes easier and more reliable.

Ready to build credibility that clients can feel and results that last? Follow the show, share this episode with a coach who needs it, and leave a quick review to help more people find these tools.

00:00:00.160 --> 00:00:03.759
Some coaches go all in and then completely disappear.

00:00:04.000 --> 00:00:05.200
Why doesn't that work?

00:00:05.519 --> 00:00:07.839
Because consistency compounds.

00:00:08.000 --> 00:00:13.359
And by the way, we don't mean consistent in terms of coaching for eight hours a day, seven days a week.

00:00:13.519 --> 00:00:26.239
We mean consistency in terms of the habits, the processes, coaching people, and not only through a coaching situation, but also in your personal life too, using the skill that you've been able to develop as many times as you can.

00:00:26.480 --> 00:00:31.920
The truth is, is the coaches who are the most consistent are the ones who grow the quickest and the fastest.

00:00:32.079 --> 00:00:36.079
And they don't show up just when it's easy, they actually show up when it's hard too.

00:00:36.240 --> 00:00:44.240
So I want to share three important things when it comes to being consistent as the coach, especially when it comes to modeling the behavior that you want others to follow.

00:00:44.479 --> 00:00:48.240
Because inconsistent coaches will create inconsistent clients.

00:00:48.399 --> 00:00:49.359
And we don't want that.

00:00:49.600 --> 00:00:54.079
Number one is intensity and excitement that you have in the beginning is gonna burn out.

00:00:54.240 --> 00:00:57.359
But consistency anyway is what builds momentum.

00:00:57.520 --> 00:00:59.039
We don't have to feel a certain way.

00:00:59.280 --> 00:01:01.039
We don't have to be excited all the time.

00:01:01.280 --> 00:01:13.040
Sometimes it's the hard times, the times when we don't feel like doing it and we have all the reasons not to, when we do it anyway, and that's what creates not only the motivation, but the momentum that we truly need.

00:01:13.280 --> 00:01:17.439
Number two is trust and mastery don't happen overnight.

00:01:17.599 --> 00:01:19.680
They happen over consistency.

00:01:19.920 --> 00:01:21.040
People are watching you.

00:01:21.200 --> 00:01:28.879
Even if you don't share all that stuff, I gotta tell you, it's like when you have something that you're going through and somebody close to you asks you, what's wrong?

00:01:29.040 --> 00:01:34.239
And you say, nothing, they can see straight through that, which is the same with consistency.

00:01:34.400 --> 00:01:36.959
When you are consistent, you put off a different energy.

00:01:37.120 --> 00:01:42.480
You have attracting instead of chasing energy, and people will see that you are there for real.

00:01:42.640 --> 00:01:48.319
And number three is showing up regularly is what makes you a coach that people can count on.

00:01:48.480 --> 00:01:59.920
That's why today's quote is consistency creates confidence, not just in yourself, but when it comes to the clients that follow you, knowing that you're gonna do what you said you were gonna do.

00:02:00.159 --> 00:02:03.200
What does staying consistent look like in real life?

00:02:03.439 --> 00:02:05.200
So this really depends on the person.

00:02:05.359 --> 00:02:08.639
But when I think about consistent, it doesn't mean taking a million actions.

00:02:08.800 --> 00:02:10.479
It means making a decision.

00:02:10.639 --> 00:02:15.520
These are the actions that I want to take that move me closer to my goal and then being consistent with it.

00:02:15.680 --> 00:02:19.840
A lot of times it looks like tracking what went well, what could I do differently next time?

00:02:20.080 --> 00:02:22.000
What is the lesson this is trying to teach me?

00:02:22.159 --> 00:02:24.879
And then continuing to take those baby steps forward.

00:02:25.120 --> 00:02:28.719
So, what happens when the coach only shows up when they feel like it?

00:02:28.960 --> 00:02:31.759
They unfortunately start teaching that lesson to others.

00:02:31.919 --> 00:02:40.080
And yes, I'm talking about clients, but I'm also talking about your kids, your spouse, people at work, people that you influence and that you lead.

00:02:40.319 --> 00:02:45.520
And this is one of those things where it may seem very small, but people can feel it.

00:02:45.599 --> 00:02:51.280
And when they feel that you are consistent, they trust you, they get behind you, and they want to work with you.

00:02:51.439 --> 00:02:52.879
And I want to call it to one thing.

00:02:53.039 --> 00:02:58.960
I know I talked about a little bit earlier, but it's not the easy times that people really respect you for.

00:02:59.120 --> 00:03:00.400
It's the hard times.

00:03:00.560 --> 00:03:10.639
It's when everything is telling you not to do this thing, but you know that you said you were going to do it and it's moving you closer towards your goal, and you make a decision to do it anyway.

00:03:10.800 --> 00:03:13.919
That is what people see, but they also feel it.

00:03:14.159 --> 00:03:17.039
Have you seen someone transformed just by being consistent?

00:03:17.280 --> 00:03:19.360
I mean, that's the story of me, right?

00:03:19.599 --> 00:03:23.360
What's funny is that before when I had to lose 100 pounds, I was consistent.

00:03:23.599 --> 00:03:25.120
Consistent at going to McDonald's.

00:03:25.199 --> 00:03:26.960
I was consistent at not doing a workout.

00:03:27.120 --> 00:03:28.719
I was consistent at not walking.

00:03:28.879 --> 00:03:31.360
I was consistent at talking myself out of doing it.

00:03:31.599 --> 00:03:33.759
What's funny is that we're always consistent at something.

00:03:33.919 --> 00:03:41.680
It's just that when we make a decision to be consistent on purpose in an area that moves us towards what we want instead of what we don't want, that's when everything changes.

00:03:41.919 --> 00:03:43.599
I didn't lose 100 pounds overnight.

00:03:43.759 --> 00:03:45.280
I didn't lose it over three months.

00:03:45.439 --> 00:03:52.000
It was a process that I had to build so that way I would start taking on those habits and taking that action without even having to think about it.

00:03:52.159 --> 00:03:57.439
Because there's this phase in the beginning that you kind of have to talk yourself into doing those things, right?

00:03:57.599 --> 00:03:59.520
Not just when you feel like it, but when you don't.

00:03:59.759 --> 00:04:02.800
But then it starts to become like Atomic Habits talks about.

00:04:02.879 --> 00:04:03.919
It just becomes a habit.

00:04:04.000 --> 00:04:06.639
And before you know it, it's just a part of your operating system.

00:04:06.800 --> 00:04:16.079
So consistency is important like that, not only because the results that you want are waiting for you on the other side of it, but because of the person that you become when it's just what you do.

00:04:16.240 --> 00:04:24.399
Now, if you missed episode number seven, go back and check it out because we talked about how to take the focus off of you and put it back onto your client.

00:04:24.560 --> 00:04:31.120
Today, we talked about being consistent, not only how that affects you and your results, but your clients' results too.

00:04:31.279 --> 00:04:39.759
Now, in lesson number nine, we're going to give you the speed hack to not only be more consistent, but to do all of the other lessons for you on autopilot.

00:04:39.920 --> 00:04:41.680
I can't wait to share that with you soon.

00:04:41.920 --> 00:04:44.160
We'll see you in lesson number nine.
