Consistency is boring

There’s nothing glamorous about showing up the same way every day.

The discipline of doing the basics well. Again. And again. And again.

Most people don’t fail because they lack talent.

They fail because they chase intensity instead of consistency.

Sprint for a week.

Take on more responsibility for a couple of weeks at work.

Overdeliver once.

And then drift.

Consistency looks dull from the outside.

From the inside, it’s demanding.

Because it asks for the same standard on good days and bad ones.

When you’re motivated. Or not.

When you’re in a good mood. Or not.

If you drift for long enough, it’s hard to bring it back.

Standards quietly reset.

People adjust their expectations.

What was once unacceptable becomes normal.

In CX, you’re not judged by your best interaction.

You’re judged by the worst one.

You’re only as good as your last interaction. There is no room to hide behind historic laurels.

The customer doesn’t average your effort.

They don’t care about your challenges.

They don’t remember the ten good conversations that came before.

They remember the one where:

• you rushed the customer

• you missed context

• you passed the buck

• you sounded tired

That last interaction becomes the story.

This is uncomfortable because it removes excuses.

A great NPS last quarter doesn’t protect you.

A strong brand doesn’t save you.

A well-designed process can’t compensate for a sloppy moment.

Consistency is the real differentiator.

Showing up, every day, every time, with the same standard.

It’s boring.

It’s unsexy.

It’s brutal.
