In a world where intensity often overshadows consistency, how can we build sustainable habits that lead to long-term success? In this episode of The BluePrint, we're joined by Jake Thompson, Chief Encouragement Officer at Compete Everyday. Jake shares his unique perspective on transforming impossible goals into achievable moments, one small step at a time.

Jake likens the process to building with Lego blocks, where each small action, no matter how insignificant it may seem, contributes to a larger, more impressive structure. From squeezing in a quick workout to writing a few hundred words each day, Jake emphasizes the power of consistency in achieving our goals.

In this episode, you'll discover:

• The importance of consistency over intensity.

• How small, daily actions can lead to significant results.

• The role of discomfort in personal growth.

• Why competing with yourself is more beneficial than comparing to others.

• How setting unique experiences can push you out of your comfort zone.
