Boring wins. The most successful people rely on simple routines that look ordinary but produce extraordinary results. In this episode of The Closers Inner Circle Podcast Ben Gay III and Denise Griffitts reveal how consistency builds trust, mastery, and lasting success.

Success rarely comes from grand gestures. It is built in the quiet repetition of small, deliberate actions. Boring routines might not get attention, but they eliminate decision fatigue, create structure, and free mental energy for the work that truly matters. Whether it is following the same prospecting process every morning, blocking time for skill development, or checking in with clients on a set schedule, these habits become the invisible scaffolding that supports long-term wins.

Over time, this consistency compounds into mastery. The more you repeat the fundamentals, the more automatic and effective they become. Routines make you reliable in the eyes of clients, teammates, and partners, building trust you cannot buy. By letting the “boring” parts run on autopilot, you reserve your energy for the moments that demand creativity, strategy, and bold moves, turning an unremarkable process into extraordinary results.

Strategic Rest in Leadership: The NAP Framework

Today on Your Partner In Success Radio, my guest Dr. Erin Wilson is on a mission to transform how leaders and teams thrive by integrating relationship intelligence, strategic rest, and intentional leadership.

As CEO of Design Ideal Consulting, she crafts transformative team-building experiences and is a certified expert in Core Strengths, The Five Behaviors, and Everything DiSC. Erin is also the co-founder of the Strategic Rest Summit and co-author of 'Strategic Rest in Leadership: The NAP Framework', where she challenges the hustle mindset to help leaders cultivate clarity, resilience, and creativity. She co-hosts The Power NAP live show, exploring the intersection of rest, leadership, and innovation.

I have her book on my desk as we speak and I highly recommend it and this is why: I’m someone who tends to be a workaholic, so rest doesn’t always come naturally to me. What really struck me is how the book talks about the guilt so many of us feel for taking breaks and points out that rest is actually how we build sustainable leadership.
