Consistency is a Bunch of Keys
Overtime we have all familiarized with the popular phrase “Consistency is key”.
While I agree to an extent with this theory, I disagree to its totality.
We’ve been made to believe doing something consistently for a period of time is an automatic gateway to Success.
This theory is wrong.
You could be doing the same thing for 5 years -10 years and have no significant sign of growth or progress.

She wanted to model for big fashion brands, she would constantly watch shows about runway models and read articles about iconic models stars. Elsa consistently stood in front of her mirror everyday and practiced her poise, she would stage a runway in her backyard and practice her Catwalk. She did this for 268 days, yet it didn’t make her a model.
Until
Elsa started reading informative articles on how to become a iconic model, watching podcast, building a portfolio of her Polaroids, attending small fashion shows and meeting people, creating an Instagram page, sharing her journey, researching and sending Emails and putting her self out there.
In less than 3 months , there was massive growth and change. Elsa got runway gigs, magazine covers contracts and so much more.
She didn’t do all these by just been staring at herself in the mirror or staging a runway in her backyard everyday, she was consistent with dedicated principles that elevated her and put her at spotlight.
