I wrote my new book, Win Today, to make one point: the small things you do every day matter more than anything. Do one little thing, every day, that will move you forward in the direction of your goals and dreams, and over time, miracles will happen. Consistency in small daily activities leads to amazing results.
Want to shed a few pounds? Start a streak of documenting your food consumption and exercise and weigh yourself weekly. That’s all. You might not lose weight at first, but over time, you will become more conscious of food choices and the body weight will inevitably drop. Over the course of 3-6 months, you will be shocked at the results. Turns out, streaking is an almost guaranteed way to lose weight.
Streaks can be daily, weekly, biweekly, monthly, or even yearly. Once you start a streak, you will do anything to make sure the streak does not die. When should you start your first streak? TODAY is always the best time. Start your streak today and watch the results build over time.

Quick tip: Don’t streak alone. It is far more effective to streak in a group of like-minded streakers. And if you’d like to join our private Facebook group for Streakers, just send a request with the subject line, “I want to join the Streakers Group”.
