What does it really take to move from struggle to success? In my raw and unfiltered reflection on approaching the final year of my 30s, I open up about the unexpected challenges of navigating professional life while carrying the weight of my "hood" background. Despite earning my dental degree at 30, the following decade brought homelessness, financial hardship during residency, and the constant battle to break free from limiting mindsets that no credentials could automatically fix.
Day 4 of my year-long "Consistency Project" dives deep into what it means to show up for yourself when nobody's watching. I share my personal recipe for what I call "consistency soup" – equal parts delusional self-belief, gratitude for opportunities, creative problem-solving, and the discipline to appear even on the hardest days. This special blend creates the foundation for transformation that degrees and external validation simply cannot provide.
The neurological rewards of consistency become evident as I explain how showing up daily creates positive reinforcement in your brain, making each subsequent day slightly easier. "Nothing feels worse than dropping the ball on yourself," I emphasize, highlighting how this personal accountability becomes the true driver of lasting change. For anyone navigating challenging transitions, developing multiple income streams, continuous learning, and focusing on personal development aren't just suggestions – they're essential survival tools when conventional support systems aren't available.
Whether you're facing your own struggles or simply need motivation to remain consistent, this transparent look at professional growth from disadvantaged beginnings offers both practical wisdom and emotional understanding. Follow along with my 365-day journey of showing up "rain, sleet or snow," and discover how the small act of daily consistency can gradually transform your life's trajectory. What consistency project will you commit to today?
