The Power of 1%

The most successful people aren’t extreme.
They’re just consistent.

Most people overestimate what they can do in a week.
And wildly underestimate what they can do in a year.

For me, that consistency has been fitness.
I’ve committed to 30-60 minutes of movement every day, whether it’s the gym, lifting weights, pilates, or walking around the lake with my dog.
It’s now so ingrained, it’s always an easy yes.
And through my breast cancer journey this year, that habit carried me, physically and mentally.

Here’s what 1% better really looks like:
↳ Reading 10 pages daily = 12–18 books a year
↳ Saving $5 daily = $1,825 saved
↳ 10 minutes of meditation = 61 hours of clarity
↳ Learning 1 skill weekly = 52 new skills
↳ Meeting 1 new person weekly = 52 new connections
↳ Complimenting 1 person daily = 365 smiles
↳ Documenting 1 small win daily = a year of progress

I created this visual as a reminder that:
Real change doesn’t come from big leaps.
It comes from small, repeatable steps – done consistently.

It’s not as complicated as you think.
You just need to commit – and follow through.
