In the Absence of Discipline, Motivation is Useless

With over $100,000,000+ in sales across my businesses I usually get asked the same thing…
How have I stayed motivated for so long and how can they stay motivated, too?
My answer usually goes something like this…
The question you should be asking is not how can I stay motivated…
…BUT how can I stay disciplined?
Many times I wake up unmotivated…?
…but I’m disciplined as fuck EVERYDAY and it’s what has made me successful!?
EVERYONE’S motivated to start a business, lose weight, or make a change in their life.
But VERY FEW are disciplined to follow through.
Understand this, the number one determining factor for your success is your ability to do the work and follow through - no matter how you feel.
Success isn’t a result of motivation, but discipline.?
Motivation is the ‘spark’, the initial fuel that gets you going and excited.?
But when reality sets in and it’s time to do the work that ‘spark’ usually dims…REAL QUICK.
Discipline is the constant fuel that keeps the fire going.?
It’s the drive that keeps you focused and moving forward…

EVEN when…
it’s inconvenient…
you had a bad day…
you fail…
And when you keep failing…again…and AGAIN.
Discipline keeps you showing up no matter the circumstances.
What I’m trying to say is your ability to push through when shit gets tough can be the difference between failure and success in any area of life.
If you want to succeed at ANYTHING in life you must develop a disciplined routine, positive habits, and skills to create long-term success for yourself.?
The good news is that just like developing muscle discipline can be developed the more you train it.
I’ll be talking about how to develop discipline in my next post.
But for now, if you’re looking to get a head start on the competition and begin developing unwavering discipline so that you can have a killer 2023? Then I highly recommend you join me for the 12 hour Misogi Challenge on January 7th.?
See, you can stay in your comfort zone, or you can do something badass and challenging to blast you into massive success!?
Talk soon,

1 年I like the saying the only true discipline is self-discipline. In my experience there are those that have, those that don't (usually because their personality types repel responsibility like oil and water), and those that it can be developed in. For the latter, motivation is essential IMO. "First say to yourself what you would be; and then do what you have to do." - Epictetus
