Don’t Break the Chain

Feb 14, 2025

I’m curious - what if the key to achieving your biggest goals wasn’t about taking giant leaps, but instead, showing up consistently every single day?

Let me share a story with you about comedian Jerry Seinfeld…

When asked in an interview how he became a successful comedy writer, Jerry shared his secret to success. Early in his career, he made a commitment to honing his craft (long before sold-out arenas and iconic TV shows). Each day, he wrote jokes - no matter what. To hold himself accountable, he got a big wall calendar. Every day he wrote, he’d draw a bold red “X” over the date.

Before long, those X’s created a chain. And as the chain grew, so did Jerry’s motivation. His focus wasn’t on creating perfect jokes every day - it was on one thing: not breaking the chain. That commitment to small, consistent actions ultimately turned him into one of the most successful comedians of all time.

Here’s the truth - success doesn’t come from one-off actions or bursts of motivation. It’s about showing up daily, building momentum, and letting those small actions compound over time.

This principle applies far beyond comedy. Studies show it takes, on average, 66 days to form a habit that becomes automatic. That’s just two months of small, intentional actions leading to momentum. The secret lies in repetition-not perfection.

Is it possible that using this technique could bring you closer to your goals and dreams? What chain do you need to build? Whether it’s doing sales reach-outs, working out, creating content, or growing your business, the key isn’t doing it all at once-it’s doing it daily.

Imagine yourself six months from now. What would life look like if you committed to one consistent action every day? Would you feel more accomplished? Closer to your dreams? That vision isn’t a "what if"-it’s entirely possible when you take consistent action daily.
