Focus more on the inputs, and less on the outputs. They will take care of themselves.

This is what I just learned in reading Seth Godin’s blog post this morning.

Mastery and success come from the preparation, the journey, and the inputs we undertake.

The outputs which are the exciting, more glamorous last step will be there when we follow the right path.

“Almost every element of good bread happens long before it goes into the oven,” Seth Godin said.

Consistent success requires the right discipline to develop positive habits of good preparation.

No short cut. No excuse.

Good preparation. Good habits.
