1452: 1. The Jenga Test: How to Tell Your Consistency Is About to Fall

Your consistency usually starts falling apart days before you notice, and it almost always starts with something small you stop doing. In this episode: the Jenga demonstration from my Boston training, how to spot your earliest signs of a wobble, the one question to ask before you give yourself a pass, and how to find the few things that rebuild everything else.

Insights to Save

I collect insights like these in my Insight Library, so the right one is there when I need it. If you're collecting them too, here are a few from this episode to add to yours:

• Nothing falling apart doesn't mean nothing happened.
• The same excuse costs more when your tower already has holes in it.
• Before you give yourself a pass, ask: how strong is the base right now?
• Your wobble almost always starts with something small you stop doing.
• Not knowing the data doesn't change the reality. It just makes it easier to ignore.
• You don't need 20 things to go back to. You need your big three.
• Protect the woman you want to be.
