It’s ironic that I’m doing a whole series on the ant when I used to be such a lazy person. I was just telling my uncle about a season in my life where I actually shot dice for a little bit,yes, you heard that right. It’s funny looking back and trying to take something meaningful from certain seasons. Even then, I created a system. I won’t go into too much detail, but let’s just say it worked, and it was built on laziness. Still, by the grace of God, I was able to bring that same gift for systems into my business.

Consistency is everything.

And I’ll be honest, as a human being, it’s hard sometimes not to move with emotion. It’s hard to stay focused when it feels like everything around you is falling apart. But here’s the truth: if you’re not consistent, you’ll never know what you’re really made of. You’ll never know what’s possible, how far your business can go, or how deep your endurance runs.

My brand, Unapologetic Urban Gear®, tested me in every way. There were so many challenging seasons. But I knew if I stayed consistent, if I showed up even when it was hard, fruit would come. And it did. But it wasn’t overnight.

Sometimes I had to come off the road just to ship orders. Sometimes I had to print the orders myself. It was just me. That’s why Part Three of this series was so important,because I learned that you can’t do it all alone. You need a team. But even when you’re building that team, momentum comes from you showing up day in and day out.

Momentum is powerful. But it only comes from consistency.

And you have to keep an eye on what you’re doing. Your input matters. You need to constantly evaluate how effective your actions are, adjust your input, because that’s what determines your output. That’s how you get better in business. That’s how you build something real.

Let’s recap this four-part series:

Part One: Self-Discipline

We looked at how the ant moves without a boss. As entrepreneurs, we must master self-discipline. When you’re in charge of your life and business, no one’s coming to tell you to get up and grind. You have to do that yourself.

Part Two: Preparation for Seasons

We learned that the ant stores up for winter during harvest. It understands seasons. Entrepreneurs must do the same, we must plan ahead, especially when times are good. Winter is always coming.

Part Three: The Power of Teamwork

The ant doesn’t work alone. It functions in unity with its colony. Entrepreneurs must stop trying to do everything by themselves. Nothing great is built solo. You need people moving with the same mission.

Part Four: Staying on Mission

The ant doesn’t get distracted. It executes with purpose. And if we want to succeed in business and life, we have to do the same—remain consistent, stay focused, and push forward even when we don’t feel like it.

There’s so much to be learned from such a small creature. But that’s God’s wisdom, He’ll use the smallest thing to show us the biggest truths.

Look at the ant.

And don’t just look,learn.
