Consistency is Key

Whether you're talking about working out, starting a business or achieving goals, one thing is certain -- consistency is key to success. With the New Year quickly underway (how are we almost halfway through January?!), what better time to evaluate where to focus your consistency efforts?

I was cleaning out my Google Reader recently, since I'm not sure how I ended up following 50+ blogs with everything from green and frugal living (to stay abreast of topics for my other blog -- www.greenandfrugalliving.com) to fitness (did I mention I also have a blog called www.fitmomsofnj.com).  Not to mention the blogs on small business, marketing and PR that I follow!

As I went through each blog, I noticed that more than a third of them hadn't been active or updated anywhere from six months to more than a year. Wow! It's actually a shame because some of them were valuable resources and I thoroughly enjoyed the posts. So that got me to thinking? Part of success is just doing what needs to be done day in and day out. Could it really be that simple? For your blog or business to progress and grow, you need to give it attention on a regular basis.

That's why one of my New Year's Resolutions is to dedicate one hour each day to my blogs. I don't want to end up getting deleted from someone's Google Reader due to inactivity!

What are you doing to ensure your consistency?
