Even though James isn't a marketing expert, I'm convinced he's right when he says that the ultimate determinant of success is building positive habits.
This idea is simple but true: Self-employed professionals who establish regular marketing habits have a much better chance of succeeding than those who don't.
And the crazy thing is that the four items - information, motivation, time, and goals - I mentioned above don't actually make a huge difference.
Information. These days, we have access to more information about marketing than ever before in history. And much of it is free and instantly available through a Google or YouTube search.
The problem is that most of us have not established a regular habit of studying what we need to know to become better marketers. The information is useless unless we become proficient at implementing it. And even if we pay good money for courses and programs, much of it goes to waste. I just learned recently online that 97% of people who buy a course online never complete it.
Motivation. If we measured motivation by intention, we are all motivated. Don't we all want and need to grow our businesses? But we keep getting distracted and don't follow through on our intentions. Again, the issue is poor habits.
Time. If only we had more of it. But unsuccessful marketers have just as much of it as the most successful ones. The key is that they dedicate more time to implementing regular marketing habits.
Goals. Nothing wrong with goals except that they are only a starting point for success. And they can get us stuck in the future, instead of doing what needs to be done today - the routine marketing habits that we perform every day or week."A habit or system beats a goal every time." - James Clear
The research is in and the conclusion is clear. Establishing positive and consistent marketing habits have a bigger impact on marketing success than anything else.
We may have great information, high motivation, lots of time, and clear goals, but unless marketing activities are performed regularly and habitually, the chances of success are slim to none.
The question you should be asking is, "How do I start establishing better marketing habits?"
