I used to think I "approached a lot." Then I started logging every approach, and the number staring back at me said otherwise. That gap between self-image and reality was the single biggest thing that got me approaching more consistently — way more than any mindset trick.
A few things I learned from actually tracking the full funnel instead of just vibes:
Most of my "bad luck" with dates flaking wasn't luck — it was a texting-to-date-set conversion problem, not an approach problem. I was blaming the wrong stage of the funnel.
My best city wasn't the one I felt most confident in. Confidence and conversion rate turned out to be only loosely correlated for me.
Streaks (consecutive days approaching) did more for my consistency than any single "big win" day. Seeing the streak break was more motivating than seeing the count go up.
If you're not tracking your funnel at all right now, even a basic spreadsheet with approach/contact/date/lay columns will show you things you can't see from memory alone. It's uncomfortable at first — that's kind of the point.
