[INTRODUCTION]

KC:  Welcome to The Business of Life Podcast. My name is Keith Callahan, your host, and today we’re talking about consistency trumping perfection.

So with every area in our life, right? Whatever we’re doing in life, whether it’s we’re looking to lose a few pounds, we’re looking to get in good shape. For me, I’m looking to always produce content for this podcast, showing up for our families. Whatever it is that we’re doing in our life, consistency trumps perfection every single time.

So if we’re looking to lose a few pounds, consistency, it’s eating cleanly day after day after day or eating 80 to 90 percent clean day after day after day versus we eat 100 percent clean because what happens with that 100 percent clean is we usually set ourselves up for failure.

Consistency trumps perfection all the time. With this podcast, there are times where I’m putting it out and it’s always – I always sit down. I always get into the right space the right mindset. I get into my art. I get centered and I’m ready to record. But then sometimes, I just don’t feel it as much as other times. There are other times where I’m like, “Bam! That was awesome,” and there are other times where I’m like, “I don’t know. Was that the best podcast? Was that the best content?”

But I just have to continue moving forward and as long as I’m consistent, as long as I’m consistent with my preparation for the show, as long as I’m consistent with recording on a consistent basis, as long as I’m consistent with my topic and – you know, I’m bringing to you what you’re going to expect because you’re expecting something from this show and if I’m not consistent with that, it doesn’t work for me and it doesn’t work for you. Life kind of works that way, right?

When we’re parenting, we have to be consistent. We don’t want to be perfect. We have to be consistent. We have to consistently try. We have to consistently show up. We have to consistently show love.

I don’t know. I guess I’m going to do a little rant here. But with parenting, I think that there’s one thing that can trump everything. I think it’s just doing it from your heart. I think that parenting doesn’t come with a manual and there are so many times we mess up and there are so many times we may not do the right thing.

But coming from the heart and doing it with love trumps everything with parenting. You can’t really mess up if you’re doing it all from your heart. That’s kind of where – kind of with life too.

So I didn’t know where I was going. Well, I guess I was planning on just talking about consistency trumping perfection. But I don’t know. Somehow I got on love a little bit and love trumps everything too.

So I guess consistently leading from your heart, consistently having love, compassion, gratitude, all those beautiful things. You can have a good life, which it doesn’t have to be perfect.

All right. Have a beautiful day out there. We will see you on the next episode. Peace!

[FINAL MESSAGE]

KC: Hey, Keith here, and today I have a free gift for you. Listen this free gift is a list of the 12 most influential books that I’ve ever read. These are the books that have helped me to create the mindset, learn the philosophies, learn the skills to really create this big, beautiful, life that we’re living now.

I read a crazy amount of books, I really do. I’ve probably read thousands of books and these are the top 12 books that – they’re the ones that I go to, they’re the ones that I work with over, and over, and over again. They are highlighted, outlined, dog-eared. And I put this list together for you because I want it to be a shortcut.

I don’t want you to have to – you don’t have to go out and read the thousands and thousands of books. These are the 12 that I highly recommend. I have a detailed review for each book, explaining why I recommend them, why I like them, when I worked with them in my life, what part of my life they helped me to improve.

So I put this together for you, and made it super each for you to get this list. All you have to do is send a text to the number 33444 and then in the body of that text, type in “12books” with no space. So that’s the number “12books”. Again, send the text message to the number, address it to 33444 and then type in “12books” as the message and just send that. And that’ll get you setup to receive those top 12 most influential books that have had the biggest impact on my life.

[SPONSOR MESSAGE]

KC: Today’s episode is brought to you by our sister podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. So All About Beachbody Coaching really allows us to do this podcast without having all those annoying commercials in the beginning for you. So All About Beachbody Coaching, the Beachbody business that Amy and I run, actually funds this podcast.

So yes, it does cost money to run this podcast, we do not charge you anything, we don’t throw in commercials or anything like that, it really is, it’s funded by our business and by our other podcast, All About Beachbody Coaching. And for me, I’m just eternally grateful for this opportunity because it’s allowed me to really create the life that I love to live.

It’s given me the opportunity to do what I want, when I want, with who I want, and even deeper than that, it’s allowed me to help others to create the same for themselves. It’s allowed me to help hundreds of other people become part time or full time Beachbody coaches, to leave that corporate 9 to 5 job and create passive income in their lives.

And really there’s nothing like that. It’s cool when you have success, it’s so much more rewarding when you help others. So I mention this or a few reasons, the first reason is, that’s actually the way that I work with people and mentor people. I don’t do anything outside of Beachbody coaching because I know that it’s such a powerful life changing tool.

So if you’re curious about working with me, interested in working one-on-one, interested in creating the type of life that you wanna live, I suggest swinging over there. The other reason is, even if somebody’s just curious, like you’ve heard about Beachbody, you know there’s a lot of Beachbody coaches out there. Maybe some of them you get a little annoyed with.

It really dives into what this business is really about, which is life transformation. So if you’re just curious, swing over there. And then the other piece is, if you’re really considering becoming a Beachbody coach, I highly, highly recommend you listen to that first.

Alright, much love guys. Again, that is the All About Beachbody Coaching Podcast, our sister podcast.

ANNOUNCER: Thank you for listening to the Business of Life Podcast. Apply what you learned today and you’ll be one step closer to creating the life you love to live.
