Discipline Is The Separating Factor

Read time:?5 minutes

Welcome to the first edition of?The Community Accelerator?for 2023.

I hope each and every one of you is ready for an amazing year.

As I had time to rest and reflect over the Holidays, I truly came to realize that communities are going to be an essential source of revenue for us creators out there.

I have been seeing this trend accelerate over the last 2 years, and all signs point to this continuing as creators seek to take their followers from social platforms (rented land) into their own world.

Plan on seeing me share more on this over the next few months, and share stories of clients that have been having success leveraging their own communities off rented land (social media).

I truly hope you are planning on embracing building your own community in 2023. If you would like to do this faster, make sure you check out the upcoming?One Challenge Away Challenge?at the end of today's newsletter.

Today, I want to quickly share an adventure I voluntarily put myself into. This adventure involves being around a community of 2,000 on the same journey.

It's called the?Deliberate Discomfort Challenge.

This Challenge involves one word- DISCIPLINE!

I say that because discipline is associated with hard work, dedication, and self-control, and it is an important characteristic for achieving success in any area of life. It can also involve developing habits and routines that help you stay organized and focused, and it requires the ability to resist temptation or distractions in order to stay on track.

In short, discipline is a key factor in achieving personal growth and reaching your full potential.

Discipline leads to one of my top core values in life which is the pursuit of?EXCELLENCE!

This Challenge has already tested the discipline of this endurance cyclist to a new level.

Why do I say this?

There are six realms of focus in this Challenge.

Mental?- Each week we are required to read a new book.

Physical- Each day we have two workouts to complete. One is a body workout and the other is cardio-based and must be outside. They can not be completed back to back either!

Spiritual?- Each day we have a guided meditation exercise to complete. This increases in length as the Challenge progresses.

Social?- Reconnect with someone (family, friends, past friends, people you have had a falling out with, etc) to have a meaningful conversation.

Emotional?- Write at least one page in a Gratitude Journal.

Professional?- Watch a video each day that is provided that revolves around leadership and business.

Why am I doing this to myself?

Mainly because I turn 50 in March and have three boys watching every move I make in life. Growing up they watched me train and successfully complete the iconic?Leadville 100 Mountain Bike Race .

Then they have seen me go all in on entrepreneurship and have been by my side with the good things that come from that. And of course, the extremely challenging things that come with going out on your own.

And now, I want them to see their father go into his 50's with even more discipline. Because, when they hit the real world, I know they are going to be tested and they are going to look at the example their father portrayed for them.

As challenging as the next 60 days are going to be, there is power in choosing discomfort!

Discomfort is a concept that may seem counterintuitive at first but bear with me. When we're faced with something that makes us uncomfortable, our natural inclination is often to avoid it. But what if I told you that embracing discomfort could actually lead to significant growth and personal development?

Think about it this way: when we choose to push ourselves out of our comfort zone, we're faced with new challenges and opportunities to learn and grow. This can lead to increased confidence and resilience, as well as a greater sense of accomplishment.

So the next time you're faced with something that makes you uncomfortable, consider it an opportunity to challenge yourself and come out stronger on the other side.

Remember, discomfort is often just a sign that you're on the path to growth.

Embrace it, and see where it takes you.

You can expect me to tie this adventure into community building over the next few months. We have built a great community with this Challenge and this is exactly why I am a huge?ADVOCATE?of Challenges.

I encourage you to go out and put yourself into something uncomfortable consistently daily. I promise you if you are open to this, you will reap massive rewards.

As I wrap this up, please do not forget to register for the upcoming?One Challenge Away Challenge?starting on January 30th.?This is a 5-Day Challenge where I am going to share with you my Proprietary Framework that turns Strangers into Loyal Clients, all while building your Community.

This Challenge is limited to 55?attendees?at $100. This is so I can offer those who sign up more attention and a personal 1 on 1 with me before the Challenge starts.??

I look forward to serving you and sharing more great content over 2023.

In Your Service!
