Before I share that with you, let me tell you a story.

When I was in High School I was the basketball captain. I wasn’t so tall so I played as a point guard.

There were people on the team, much better than i was, at the game of basketball. They were taller, more muscular...

and of course, they know how to cheer the crowd when they need to but I...

I was the short, skinny, hyperactive, Port Harcourt boy that don’t really care how he looked when he played. He just enjoyed the game.

One day I was puzzled and I asked my Coach why he made me the Basketball captain and he said...

“Well Hamilton, you are not like the rest. Your head is in the game and you stick to the basics. That’s the most important thing about any sport.”

That is it! That is the secret!

I didn’t understand what he said. Until recently. See, there is a level of wisdom only experience can make you understand

Stay with me. You will get this soon.

Success itself is in the basics. It was Jim Rohn that said that Success is a few disciplines practiced every day.

What are the basic things?

For instance, if you want to become one of the most sort after Thought Leaders, in the industry based on your message, you just have to be consistent with the basic things of thought leadership..

What are the basic things?

It’s simple...

Giving CONSISTENT value through written and spoken words.

If you want to become the best Baker in the world you have to start from the basics. Even the best cakes are baked with the basic baking principles

If you want to become a very good basketball player, you have to be good at ball handling, free throws and of course getting your layups right. These are just few of the basics.

Those little things you see as insignificant are apparently the most important.

One thing is to do those things and another thing is to be CONSISTENT.

That was what Jesus meant when he said you have to be faithful with the little things. David wouldn’t have been King of Israel if he wasn’t faithful with being a shepherd to his sheep.

Joseph wouldn’t have been able to interpret Pharaoh’s dream and become the prime minister of Egypt if he wasn’t faithful at managing the resources at his disposal, first at Potiphar’s house and then in the prison.

@JohnObidi showed up every week for years, with the Smart B Camp teleseminar. He got nominated for The Future Awards in 2013 and didn’t win. He got nominated again in 2018 and he won it.

The secret to that success is what he was doing CONSISTENTLY between 2013-2019.

Saving ₦1000 everyday, will make you ₦365,000 richer at the end of the year. But you have to first start with the basic, which is ₦1,000 and be consistent with it EVERYDAY.

While you are setting your goals for 2020, don’t forget to be consistent with the things that looks insignificant because when they pile up, they are not so insignificant

2020 is upon you!!!

What basic activities do you need to be consistent with?

Because at the end of the day, our choice can be our best friend or our worst enemy. They can deliver us to our goals or send us adrift in a galaxy far far away.

Will you make the choice, to be faithful with small? Will you choose, to be consistent with the basics?

Choose wisely.
