My 5-Year Hermit Journey Taught Me This
There was a time in my life when I stepped away from everything, a time when the world was quiet, and the only sound I could hear was the rhythm of my own breath. For five years, I lived as a hermit monk on the island of Maui, far from the hustle and grind of the business world. My days were simple: meditation, reflection, and an unwavering commitment to consistency. In the bamboo forests where time seemed to stand still, I discovered something profound. It wasn’t the grand gestures or the monumental efforts that brought clarity and growth, it was the small, consistent actions taken day after day. Every morning, I would rise with the sun, sit in silence, and simply breathe. At first, it seemed like nothing was happening... ...but over time, the cumulative effect of those daily practices became undeniable. My mind became sharper, my purpose clearer, and my spirit stronger. This was the secret I uncovered: consistency in action is what transforms your life. The same principle applies to achieving $20K months. Success isn’t about sudden breakthroughs; it’s about showing up every day, putting in the work, and trusting that these small, consistent actions will compound over time. But here’s the challenge, consistency isn’t glamorous. It’s not the shiny, exciting part of the journey. It can feel tedious, even mundane. And this is where many people falter, expecting quick results and losing faith when they don’t come. If you want to reach those $20K months, you must embrace the discipline of consistency. Show up every day, do the work, and trust the process. This is a principle we emphasize in our Skool community because we know that it’s the key to real, sustainable success.
