Who hasn't marvelled at a skyscraper, standing tall, seemingly invincible? Have they ever made you stop and wonder about the work, the sweat and the determination that went into its construction? Its structure, intricate yet harmonious, is a testament to vision, perseverance and the power of gradual progress.

This skyscraper isn't too different from any ambitious undertaking you may be dreaming of. You see, the secret contained within these architectural giants mirrors the pivotal wisdom about life; all big things take time to build.

Is there a dream you're nurturing, a goal you're inching towards, or a skill you're passionate about? Maybe it's setting up a new business, or a career switch, or perhaps it's something more personal, like self-love and acceptance. No matter what it is, the key to making it a reality lies in commitment and consistency.

Now, commitment may seem daunting, consistency may seem tedious, and gradually working towards your goal might not always be filled with adrenaline-pumping excitement. But remember, not all growth is visible to the naked eye, and just like the mightiest of oaks, significant achievements often have humble beginnings. Your willingness to embrace the less glamorous, day-to-day slog is what truly packs the punch.

Let's talk about Success Insider. Founded with a vision to transform people's lives, it's a living testament to progression through patience. The small, but consistent steps taken in the beginning resulted in what it is today – a global movement of committed individuals inspiring change through personal development.

So, how is it that something so small can lead to something so significant over time?

The magic lies in a formulae we've all learned in school; the compounding effect. As with financial investments, the effort you consistently put in does not just add up, instead, it multiplies. It's the minimal daily efforts that, combined over time, result in exponential growth. Resilience, persistence, and patience are the guiding forces here. The tiny 💧 of effort each day coalesces into the mighty stream of success ✨.

In the words of Robert Collier, an author renowned for his self-help expertise, “Success is the sum of small efforts, repeated day in and day out”. But efforts alone are not sufficient. To incite the growth you desire, it's essential to align your effort with clear intentions.

Think about what you really want to achieve. Is it truly your aspiration or is it a borrowed dream? Once you clarify your goal, and it resonates deeply with your inner core, the journey becomes a direction, not a drag.

The journey you embark on is likely to be a marathon, not a sprint. If you falter along the way, remember to go easy on yourself. You're human; it's okay to have bad days. But don't allow yourself to be stuck in those moments. Allow yourself to regroup, and refocus your energies on your goal.

You might question if the process is worth it, especially when the going gets tough. In those moments, remember the ‘why' of your journey. Your ‘why' is your most potent defence against doubts and setbacks.

Patience in the process is not easy but it is remarkably impactful. Your dreams deserve nothing less than your undaunted patience and persistent action. Remember, success is no accident. It may at times feel tedious, the change unnoticeable, but take solace in these words of Tony Robbins, “No matter how many mistakes you make or how slow you progress, you are still way ahead of everyone who isn’t trying”.

Think of my personal journey, developing the LMA course. Back then, it was a series of small, seemingly insignificant steps. Yet, they compounded over time into something I am immensely proud of today. Your journey, my dear reader, is no different.

Trust the process, believe in your efforts, and remember — great things take time. What we become tomorrow is born from the consistent efforts we make today. Start small, dream big and watch as your life transforms, one day at a time. And soon enough, you will be the architect of your own metaphorical skyscraper!
