I used to think I was boring. And that being boring was a weakness.

I don't like going out. I don't like parties and small talk. I can't handle noise.

When confronted with social media noise and self-proclaimed gurus screeching contradictory advice, I want to pack my bags and live amongst the sheep.

So I ran a simple experiment on Threads in January: post daily and leave thoughtful comments. No tricks, no growth hacks – just showing up.

The results surprised me. Comments got more views than posts. Social platforms reward genuine interaction.

But the real insight came from the metrics. Out of 28+ posts, only 4 or 5 gained significant reach. They weren't quotes or business advice. They were personal stories with vulnerability and humour.

The masters show us this pattern:

• Kobe Bryant: Missed 55.3% of his shots. Became a top scorer.
• Serena Williams: 37.7% double fault rate. Dominated tennis.
• Pablo Picasso: Created 50,000+ artworks. Less than 0.2% became famous.

Their secret? Success lives in repetition.

Want real transformation? Do something 100 times.

The first 50 attempts will feel like shouting into the void. No reactions. No progress. This silence is where most people quit.

But change happens in these dead, boring moments. The data shows your skills growing. Your confidence building. Then suddenly – breakthrough.

Five minutes daily becomes 30+ hours yearly. Each small action compounds:

• Your work improves
• Your reputation builds
• Trust develops

Success isn't a viral post or perfect performance. It's the complete story your work tells over time.

Is it boring? Yes. But boring is where growth happens.

Most chase shortcuts and viral moments. The extraordinary is birthed in the mundane – in consistently showing up.

The most successful people aren't just good at doing the work. They're good at paying attention to it. Every attempt is a data point. Every "failure" teaches you what works.

So when repetition feels monotonous, remember: You're not just doing the work. You're building a system of learning.

You're turning boring into breakthrough.

Collect the data. Analyze the patterns. Tweak. Repeat.

If you got to the end of this without being bored, keep going!

You're onto something!

Your blooming late bestie,

Lisa Marie
