Patience Before Consistency: The Truth About Wanting It Bad Enough

Everyone talks about consistency.

Very few people are willing to be patient first.

That’s the problem.

People want results fast, visibility now, validation today. But consistency isn’t something you start with—it’s something you earn after you’ve done enough quiet work that momentum becomes automatic.

If you’re not patient enough to build in silence, you’re not consistent enough to win in public.

Build Before You Broadcast

The real move isn’t posting every day with mediocre work.

The real move is stockpiling greatness.

Before worrying about algorithms, engagement, or reach, make the work undeniable. Stack songs. Stack ideas. Stack confidence.

A serious artist doesn’t rush to release their first decent track. A serious artist builds a catalog.

Twenty-four songs is a strong benchmark. Not demos. Not “almost finished.” Songs you know are great—songs you’d stand behind in a room full of critics. Songs you don’t need excuses for.

If you can’t make that many great songs, the issue isn’t marketing.

It’s craft.

No Budget Is Not an Excuse

People love blaming money. Equipment. Access. Timing.

That’s all noise.

If there’s no budget, grab your iPhone and start filming. The internet doesn’t reward polish—it rewards volume, honesty, and persistence. Raw beats perfect every time.

Film everything:

• Writing sessions

• First listens

• Car plays

• Headphone reactions

• Silence

• Frustration

• Breakthroughs

You’re not making traditional music videos. You’re creating moments—small pieces of proof that you’re actually doing the work.

Release at a Pace That Matches How Bad You Want It

One song a month is the minimum if you’re serious.

Two songs a month if you really want it.

Anything less isn’t strategy—it’s hesitation.

Your pace doesn’t need to match anyone else’s. It just needs to match your desire. If you can’t maintain your own rhythm, then deep down, this probably isn’t your top priority.

That’s not an insult. It’s clarity.

Flood the Internet With Your Work

This is where most people quit.

Each song should generate hundreds of pieces of content. Not because you’re desperate—but because you understand how attention works.

One song becomes:

• Hook clips

• Lyric moments

• Beat drops

• Text-on-screen quotes

• POV videos

• Behind-the-scenes footage

• Silent caption posts

• Reactions

Two hundred short-form videos per song isn’t crazy. It’s repurposing. You’re not spamming—you’re giving the algorithm enough chances to find your audience.

Posting less doesn’t make you mysterious.

It makes you invisible.

The Hard Truth No One Likes to Admit

Some people don’t want it that bad.

They like the idea of success. They like the fantasy. They like imagining what life would look like if it worked out.

But they don’t like repetition.

They don’t like boredom.

They don’t like delayed gratification.

Everyone wants a six-pack. Very few people want to live like someone who has one.

Discipline isn’t motivation. Discipline is choosing the outcome over comfort—every day, without applause.

The Rule That Changes Everything

If you’re not willing to:

• Build quietly

• Stack your work

• Release consistently

• Promote relentlessly

for at least a year straight—

then don’t lie to yourself about how badly you want it.

Patience creates consistency.

Consistency creates momentum.

Momentum creates results.

Everything else is just talk.
