The secret ingredient in Murphy’s recipe for success is consistency. He recommends you set daily goals so small it’s nearly impossible not to reach them. Focus on things you can control like how many emails you’ll send today, not things you hope to accomplish like how many views your new video will get.

- It’s quantity, not quality. As you work to build quantity, quality will improve.
- Start Small – Like in the Bill Murray movie, What About Bob, break up your big goals into smaller, baby steps.
- Focus on what you directly control. You control how many phone calls you make or emails you write today. You cannot control the outcome of your efforts like how many views you get on your new video.
- Create until it’s done, not perfect. Something you’ll learn by creating more.
Murphy’s advice comes down to spending a little time on your craft and business every single day. Through consistent dedication, you’ll build habits and learn lessons that’ll improve your skill as a creator as well as your business acumen.
