100 — 100 Episodes Later: The Power of Consistency with Purpose

In this milestone 100th episode of The Getting After It Podcast, Brett reflects on the journey that brought him here and shares the cornerstone of his personal and podcasting success: Consistency with Purpose. 

Consistency with purpose is the secret sauce to progress in any meaningful endeavor. It’s not about just showing up every day; it’s about showing up and doing the right things, relentlessly refining your process, and celebrating the small wins along the way. Whether you’re on your first step or your 100th, stay intentional and keep getting after it.

This episode explores the lessons learned over two and a half years, how to refine your actions for meaningful progress, and why celebrating small wins matters. Whether you’re just starting a goal or are deep in the trenches, this episode will motivate you to keep moving forward with intentionality.

Key Takeaways:

1. Consistency Alone Isn’t Enough – It Requires Purpose:
   • Being consistent without purpose can lead to stagnation. If your habits aren’t aligned with your goals, you’ll make progress in the wrong direction.
   • True progress comes from pairing consistency with deliberate actions that support your long-term vision. Brett emphasizes the importance of constantly refining and adjusting your strategy as you go.
2. Celebrate Small Wins to Fuel Long-Term Motivation:
   • Progress often feels invisible day by day but becomes significant over months or years. Celebrating milestones, no matter how small, gives you the momentum to keep going.
   • Brett reflects on how each step of his journey—better podcast equipment, growing an audience, or his mom running 5 miles—reinforces the joy of progress and the power of encouragement.
3. Relentless Refinement Drives Meaningful Growth:
   • Success isn’t about doing the same thing over and over; it’s about doing the right thing better every time. This means auditing your actions, identifying areas to improve, and pivoting when necessary.
   • Brett illustrates this with his podcast evolution: moving from rambling recordings to carefully outlined episodes with improved content and sound quality.

Actionable Step:

Perform a Consistency Audit and Take Purposeful Action:

1. Audit Your Habits:
   • Ask yourself, Are my daily actions worth repeating? Identify one habit that isn’t serving your goals and replace it with one that does.
   • Example: If you’re consistently skipping workouts, create a system that gets you to the gym—set out your clothes the night before, find an accountability partner, or schedule your workout like a meeting.
2. Set a 90-Day Challenge:
   • Pick a goal and outline 3-5 small, daily actions that will get you closer to it.
   • Example: If your goal is to write a book, commit to writing 200 words a day or spending 15 minutes brainstorming ideas.
3. Celebrate Your Progress:
   • Choose a way to track and celebrate your wins—whether it’s journaling about daily successes, sharing milestones with a friend, or rewarding yourself for hitting checkpoints.
