Success is Not Hard – Consistency Trumps All

May 4, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

You Got This

Everything compounds.

This means that as you get started, you are already starting to build equity.

You can start a blog today.

This may not amount to much success right off the bat.

Once you commit to building an audience, you have to post consistently.

Lets say you make no money in your first 6 months online, but you have posted over 50 articles in that stretch of time.

Those 50 articles are available forever. Once you post another 50 in another 6 months, you now have 100 articles that will be online forever. Another year goes by and you have 200 articles.

This is the power of compounding.

The only way to benefit from compounding is to be consistent.

Starting a new site is exciting at first, but it’s important to stick with the process for a few years.

With effort and daily action, you almost guarantee you reach your goal.

The power of consistency will allow you to outlast other people.

At the start you will see no return on investment. In the late stages, you will see spectacular returns.

From years 3-6 of blogging you can virtually create customers at will. An e-book with 5000 viewers per month can render enough income to allow you to do whatever you want.

The internet is a very powerful thing.

To tap into that power, you need to see and understand how easy it actually is to be rich.

Your blog will help many people, and you can exponentialize your growth.

Don’t worry about monetizing in your first year, just focus on creating content.

SEO, funnels, lead generation etc. Don’t worry about the advanced stuff, just get the value out there and don’t look back. Once you have an audience, then you can focus on getting paid.

The great thing is after you’ve been consistent for years, you’ll realize how easy it was all along.

Success is easy if you are willing to put the time and effort in.

I have found that writing is easy, I write at least an article every few days.

The hard part is deciding to risk your time on something that may not work out. To be optimistic, the odds are actually in your favor if you practice dedication and consistency.

To your success,

Being Kind Actually Gets You Ahead – The Mindset of Service

April 28, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Nice Guys Don’t Finish Last

The biggest misconception out there is that you have to be ruthless in this dog eat dog world.

Ruthlessness is going to kill your soul.

You are starting from the wrong place if you are striving to outcompete people.

When you are truly kind, you are putting service to other people at the forefront.

I believe so strongly in what I have to offer humanity. If don’t go out there and market my coaching services, I’m actually screwing many people over.

I have many ways I can offer value, and I encourage you to strive to serve other people.

Be a Giver

When you are looking for a date, ask yourself what you bring to the table.

Stop being so selfish.

You might want sex or intimacy, but you need to actually offer value.

If you are reading my work chances are you’re smart, and you are also probably very nice.

Kindness is something that many men are getting away from because the red-pill advice out there is telling you to be an asshole. You need to understand that this kind of game only works if that’s your true self.

It’s Never About You

To be valuable stop thinking about just yourself.

Offer solutions to other people’s challenges.

Think beyond what you want from life, if you want money you will get plenty of it. As long as you focus on contribution.

Too many people out there are operating from a takers mentality.

If you just take without giving, people won’t like you. It’s hard to get business when you are only thinking about yourself.

Service to All

Focus on service being your dominant polarity.

I read an article from Steve Pavlina many years ago about love and fear polarization.

The dominant polarity needs to be maximized to be successful.

Lightworkers (love based) define success in terms of how they serve others.

Hell is what you get when you only think about yourself.

Takers are in a perpetual state of hell because they are too self-centered to think about other people.

Heaven is not some higher dimension. It’s a state of being that you have when you are so focused on helping other people.

I have a strong desire to help other people. I work in the mental health field and I offer coaching to people looking to improve their mindset. I often don’t take a potential clients business because I feel like they may not benefit as much as I want them to.

When you sell a service, you want your client to get 10 times the value you are charging them.

Focus on return on investment for your client. If you can’t get someone to where they want to be, then don’t take their business.

The best thing about being a giver is you drop your small self.

You step into your life purpose, and your motivation skyrockets.

You actually get more by being a giver. You can take time to enjoy yourself and recharge so you can further help others.

My Story

In Army Cadets I reached the rank of Chief Warrant Officer because I cared more about service than actually getting to that rank.

I served my unit for 6 years before I got that position, and I never ran out of motivation.

I was so focused on making those around me better that I eventually got all the accolades without even trying.

I was a team player who was focused on being extremely valuable.

At the end of 2012, I retired and other cadets missed seeing me every week.

I was so focused on giving that the success I enjoyed was just a byproduct of my giving.

As a hockey player I was always focused on team success and not my own personal accomplishments.

You will get far more when you focus solely on giving.

Don’t fear that it won’t be reciprocated by the universe.

The universe wants to help people who are serving the highest good of all. Don’t deprive the world of your gifts and talents. The world needs you to help others.

To your success,

Angus

Momentum

April 26, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Aim to Start a Never-Ending Positive Spiral

We will get right to it.

To have massive successes you need to create momentum and not look back.

Some progress is incremental, other progress is exponential.

Most progress is exponential.

Returns increase the longer your winning streak lasts.

I was living a pretty boring life for the last couple of years. The negatives were really getting to me. In 2022 I more than doubled my income. But I was missing something inside. An empty void. I had nothing major to live for. I was living a life of quiet desperation. I lost a lot of my mojo in 2012 when I was retiring from Army Cadets. In the 6 years between 2006-2012, I became the Sergeant Major of my cadet unit. I was a Chief Warrant Officer on top of the world. I found swagger and mojo. I was one of the greatest cadets of all time!

Until shit started to hit the fan.

In 2012, I suddenly started to have signs of bipolar disorder. Arrested in October of 2012 with 3 months left in my cadet career. I was devastated thinking a conviction on my record would ruin my life. Suddenly it all turned dark, going to school took everything out of me. I was showing up late, missing assignments and was a shadow of my true self.

I finished my cadet career in Dec 2012 being happy it was over because I didn’t have the energy to continue. This story I have has many ups and downs. I had a crush on a girl who went to a different high school, and all hopes of that working out were long over.

I began to get so depressed that I actually sunk even lower and had some of my most intense laughing moments while in this state. If your state is sinking, then you actually want to let it go lower. Don’t stagnate. Stagnation is death.

A few years went by, and I slowly got my life together. I shovelled snow in the winters. In the summer I cleaned parks with a contractor under the city. Finding my swagger became harder when I started to gamble. I wanted to replicate that winning feeling. In 2018, I walked into the casino with my last 200 bucks. I walked out with $2,500. It was the best high I ever had. I also became addicted to gambling very hard at this time.

This was a blessing in disguise because the gambling addiction got me out of depression and inspired me to work and take work seriously.

Recently, I have been rethinking my life. The 9 years as a gambler made me miss out on so much opportunity. I could buy homes and cars with the money I spent. But now at 31, I’ve got my eyes open to what’s possible. Now I’m on a roll and not looking back.

Recent events have lit a fire under me.

I’m no longer living on the sidelines. I’m going after what I want with no apologies for it. This week I went 7/7 in the gym and I’m committing to going 30/30 this month. The gym is a great way to get on a roll. Work intensely while your there. Plenty of time to feel tired later.

The gym is the foundation to positive momentum. It changes your brain chemistry. The best thing about the gym is that a workout is like $1 when you use the membership each day. I’m more determined than ever to build my brand online and show other people what’s possible.

The momentum you get will eventually become a new normal, you’ll have swagger and confidence. The sky’s the limit, and it’s worth it to overshoot because you only get a fraction of what you shoot for.

I want all the best life has to offer.

You can get all the best life has to offer. I’ve studied success for many years, and I’ve made myself more successful as each year has gone by. Doubled the quality of my career in 2022 and feel better than ever. Once you succeed in one area, you’ll wan to succeed in all areas.

You made $500 from your blog this month?

You can look at this one of two ways, either you made a real amount of money and feel grateful. Or you can look at this and say it’s not that much. The former is the right way to look at your own success. The latter will stop you from building positive momentum.

I was so good at resilience in the face of backlash momentum.

The way I’ve made it in life was to look at the challenges I’ve overcome and use my newfound skill to help others rise above the same challenge. Once you’ve learned, now you can teach. So use your lived experience to inspire other people.

Rack up success after success, and you’ll breach the plane of the exponential in no time!

Confidence comes from progress.

Progress comes from confidence.

So right now focus on building positive momentum. Hard and decisive action will get you what you want. No excuses, no tomorrow, just going for the win every single day. You’ll make it, no reason to underestimate yourself. It’s better to believe in yourself and be wrong than to doubt yourself and be right.

You got this!

To your success,

Angus

Life is Always Working For You

April 26, 2025 by Angus Baynham-McColl

Even when the chips are down and life is going downhill, there’s always a redeeming quality about your situation. Ask yourself at all times, how can this work for me?

I was arrested in 2013 and thought that my life was ruined. It was a fairly petty charge in the grand scheme of things. But I began to ruminate over how my life was over and got into a pretty depressed state of mind. I did realize that employers and customers don’t really care about your past.

Instead of asking yourself about how employable you are, just be so damn good at something they can’t ignore you.

If you strive to be a person of value before you seek out success and opportunity, nobody will care about your past. I was able to make my past work for me by marketing my lived experience.

You are always going to be an expert at something.

Use what makes you uniquely skilled.

I was able to help people on the autism spectrum as a life coach because I had risen above the exact same challenges they are trying to rise above.

Your gift to the world will come from your greatest challenges.

Once a success, always a success. If you have prior success, nobody can take that away from you.

Draw on what makes you unique.

What can you do, or who can you inspire that nobody else can?

Once you find out who you can serve, start being of service to others.

Strive to be so valuable that people will line up left, right, and center to get your service.

You have skills that your past has given you. Decide who you will serve and start taking action to get clients today.

People need what you have to offer. Double down on successes, once a success always a success. I use my lived experience to help people who are dealing with what I overcame.

That’s the magic.

Every big challenge you have ever had is life’s way of grooming you for your higher purpose.

God has a plan for you.

Read from your past, your past successes are the way.

To your success,

Angus
