30 Minutes a Day Changed Everything

Hey there, Entrepreneur! 👋
This week, one theme kept coming up: consistency. Not just for business owners—but literally anyone trying to move forward.

Pick one high-impact habit you can complete in 30 minutes or less—every day. Commit for 30 days. Track your progress (I created a simple tracker for you—grab it below). Focus on showing up—not being perfect.

I’ve struggled with consistency my whole life. The advice shows up everywhere, but actually sticking with something (especially long-term) is tough.
For me, it really hit home sitting in Kenosha, Wisconsin. I realized I felt like I was trapped in a loop—every few months, I’d find myself right back where I started. Not exactly the same, but close enough.

One day, after a two-hour walk asking myself, “What needs to change?” I saw the real problem: I hadn’t stayed consistent long enough to see results. I kept quitting early, hunting for quick wins and instant gratification. Sound familiar?

You can’t be consistent for a few weeks and expect a big change. If you go to the gym for 21 days, that’s great—maybe you see some improvement. But hit 300 days a year? You’ll see a huge difference.

This is true in business too. Whether it’s sales calls, lead outreach, posting on social, or even writing a newsletter (like this one!). The people who win are always the ones who keep showing up the longest.
Sure, how good you are matters. But mastery comes with repetition. I’m on my 8th newsletter, and my first was nothing like this one. By the time I’ve written 50, even I won’t recognize the difference.

We avoid consistency for a lot of reasons. First: it’s hard. Results can take weeks, months, or years. And sometimes, you don’t even know what success will look like at the end.
But for me, the real shift happened when I stopped obsessing over big goals and started focusing on the key actions that actually move the needle.

I’m Type A, goal-oriented, and—let’s be honest—a natural-born procrastinator. I loved racing deadlines in school. But that only works so many times. In life, if you keep waiting for the assignment to come due, the world sneaks up and passes you by.

That’s why the key is finding your highest-impact habits—the ones worth being consistent with for months at a time.

I started small. One habit, 10–30 minutes a day. For me, it was reading the Bible—something I’d never actually done, despite growing up Catholic. Thirty minutes a day, some days less. Before I knew it, I’d finished the whole thing in a few months.

Once that felt automatic, I added the next: being consistent with social media posting—five or six days a week, across multiple platforms.
Then I started regular LinkedIn outreach for my business: 30 minutes a week, aiming to message 300 people in my network each week.

Looking back, what made these habits stick is they didn’t rule my day and I wasn’t chasing perfection. I knew—if I put in this work consistently for six months—I’d see growth in business, stronger faith, and real forward movement in life.

I made a minimalist habit tracker you can use for 30 days. It’s nearly frictionless and totally free.
Track up to 5 habits. Put a checkmark by any you complete each day—there’s space for reflections and notes.

Keep it simple:

Some winning combos:

Nobody gets it perfect every day. The goal isn’t to do all the things—just the right things, consistently enough for compounding results.
Miss a day? Don’t start over, just keep going.

Consistency is a muscle. And once you build it, life starts to feel less random, more intentional. Suddenly, you look back after six months and realize—you’re not in the old loop anymore.

Most people quit too soon. Build the consistency muscle and let time do its thing. The best growth—business, personal, spiritual—comes from showing up daily, even when it doesn’t feel flashy.

Consistency isn’t about being perfect…it’s about getting a little better, every day.
