THE POWER OF BEING CONSISTANT
The Janitor Who Owned the Building
Every morning at 5:30 am, a man named Roger unlocked the doors of the same office building.
He wasn’t a CEO. He wasn’t on LinkedIn.He didn’t have a title anyone admired.
He was the janitor.
For 22 years, Roger cleaned offices, emptied bins, and wiped fingerprints off glass doors that weren’t his.
But here’s what nobody noticed:
Every paycheck, Roger invested a small percentage into the company’s employee stock plan.
No fancy strategy. No inside knowledge.Just consistency.
While others upgraded cars, Roger stayed modest. While others complained about management, Roger quietly believed in the business.
Fast forward two decades.
The company went public.
On the day of the IPO, executives celebrated upstairs…and Roger was called into the boardroom.
They didn’t thank him for cleaning.
They congratulated him on becoming one of the largest individual shareholders in the company.
The janitor didn’t quit that day.
He finished his shift.
Not because he had to —but because success hadn’t changed who he was.
The lesson?
• Progress is invisible for a long time• Consistency beats talent when talent quits• The loudest people aren’t always the ones winning• Most success stories look boring… until they don’t
If you’re grinding and wondering, “Is this even working?”This is your reminder:
Yes. Just not yet.
